HI;
Well, here we are aging, back to the same questions:
Why don’t you post every day?
Why aren’t you on social media?
These are the two most common questions asked
So here we go aging.
i m not on here to gain your approval.
i am not on here to gain a massive following.
i don’t care if you like me.
i am not seeking your approval.
My value, nor worth is determined by this sight nor how many people read what i post.
Your acceptance is not the acceptance i seek.
My value and worth come from the Christ the Lord,
my Lord and savior.
It is His and only His acceptance i desire.
This world is not my home, i seek after His Kingdom and His righteousness
What i post is what the Holy Spirit is in the proses of teaching me.
And just like a few days ago i posted
“Take the time to learn love, take the next 20 day and prates being patient with those you come in contact with each day.”
This was for me to learn, and i shared it with you because it is something we are all told to do,
“to Love one another”
the first thing we are told about love is that it is patient.
If you are not patient with those around you – you are not showing love.
Something the Holy Spirit reminded me of and i need to work on. And you probably do also.
Matthew 6:33
“But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.”
Matthew 22:36-40
“Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?”
And He said to him,
“ ’YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.’
This is the great and foremost commandment. The second is like it,
‘YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.’
On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets.”
1Corithians 13:4-8
"Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous;
love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly;
it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;
bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never fails"
Matthew 7:12
“In everything, therefore, treat people the same way you want them to treat you, for this is the Law and the Prophets.
Something the Holy Spirit got after me about and i have found to be very true in my life and in probably 90% of those who attend church; we hear a different teaching every week but never take the time to adapt our lives to the word of GOD, a bunch of head knowledge.
Matthew 7:21-23
“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter.
Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’
And then I will declare to them,
‘I never knew you;
DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS."
Matthew 7:13
“Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it.
For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it.”
My desire, my goal in this life is to find the narrow way, that leads to the small gate, so that when the time comes and i stand before Christ my Lord i will dot here the most dreadful words one could every hear
“depart from Me for I never knew you”
Matthew 7:7
“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.”
i have knocked, i have asked and i am seeking.
And in doing so the Holy Spirit has been faithfully teaching me,
directing the path i am walking.
And no, it is not a very popular path and at times I seem to drift but the Lord is faithful to direct me back.
And no i am not and do not think i am perfect,
i am human and at times fail,
one thing i have learned is that when i blow it, if in all sincerity, i humble myself, repent, and take it to the Lord He is faithful to forgive me.
One last thing before i go:
There are three more question that frequently pops up.
It goes along these lines.
Why don’t you learn grammar.?
Why don’t you ever capitalize i when your talking about yourself?
Haven’t you ever learned how to spell?
i never learned how to read until i was 16 or 17 So, i don’t aways spell things right, and grammar was neve high on my priority.
As far as i or I There is only one I, and that is not me, that would be the I am,
i never want to assume the place of God.
If it is that so important to use a capital i when speaking of one’s self, then why is it not that important to use a capital m when using the word me.
To me it is a sing of argents when someone has to state “I” when righting about one’s self.
I and I am are reserved for GOD, and i will stick to i for i am not God.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.
i hope, no i pray that you will come on this journey down the narrow path to the small gate.
It is so freeing when you realize in Christ you are free.
And in following Christ and His word, bring much peace and joy.
Seek first the Kingdome of God and His righteousness and all this will be added unto you.
Hope this answers your questions,
i am not here to please you,
i am here to obey the Lord my GOD.
This world is not my home, my home is in heaven, for that is where my heart and treasures are.
As a believer in Christ Jesus my goal is to hear these words “Enter in My good and faithful servant”
The choice is yours; to ether fallow the Lord or follow after the world and its ways.
But as for me and my house we chose to follow after the Lord. Hope you will come along the journey.
