O
Lynn,
what a good, unifying, thread, very thoughtful.....
sometimes our common weaknesses can force us to see our own humanity...
one of the things that is so sweet about this thread is that it asks us to honestly
humble ourselves.
TY
one of the things that is a constant, awesome, thing with me, is that in the whole of the salad-bowl,
He has chosen a 'peculiar people' to receive and to give Holy Love - after He separates us.
we have so much in common with so many other living, breathing, creations, but we are the ones
that have been chosen and given understanding, choices, intellectual capacity.....
the Love that our Father has for us is truly something that we will never understand until we are
called and chosen by Him and then only partly...but we do know, because He has told us that
there are un-imaginable 'things that eye has not seen nor ear have heard'....but we have been
promised so many things by Him, and we do know for sure that His Word stands firm and
we also must stand firm in our gratitude and walk.
for Hubby, he considers the countless times, even 'after-Christ' that he has fallen, been out
of the Will of God, yelled at Him in anger, spoken so much that he shouldn't have, actually,
dis-respected his Maker when at his lowest points......yet in all of this Christ has manifested
His compassion, forgiveness, and Love - so, looking at his record, he has to agree with
David in his perplexity, 'what is man that Thou art mindful of him?'
a great gift that we all who love Him have been given, is that He allows us to look-back from
where He has brought us from and He gives us new hearts to look forward and upward to where
we are going....
