That Rev 19:16 verse reminds me of a song... He is the King of Kings. He is the Lord of Lords. His name is Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, He is the King... lol ...Do you remember it? ...Thanks! I like that neon cross too! :D
Like an owner and His dog. Have you ever noticed that? How a dog looks in physical stature like the owner both in looks and demeanor? Smile. This is more me than a black and white version, but I may still revert back because I am also a conformist. :p:eek::rolleyes::cool::o....... (not really)
This Blood can save the soul, heal the sick, mend the heart. This Blood can give you access to the very Throne of God and it still can go the distance from the pain to where you are. This Blood is for you, the atoning cleansing Blood of the Lamb!
....But what God wanted from me was more actual time spent throughout the day which didn't turn to Him to get something; but simply resulted in being with Him, to commune with Him. It was simply to renew and make God my everything in all my day, no pressures applied. What seemed like another legalistic burden to me at first turned out to recalibrate me towards what Gods renewal means. He instilled a whole new understanding of Sabbath in me as well. God has always been interested in our emotional health. We sometimes need to lessen our goals, thru embracing our limitations, so our goals get met. I will pray for your successes in Christ and your true personality to be refreshed and empowered. ~ May God richly bless you today, Abi as always. ~ I'm excited for your next week trip.
Abi ~ Its tough huh? Balancing our daily living, our desires, Gods purposes, and even our education and sought out in-betterments. But God gives us renewal as He outlines an order of importance. And you know it, seek ye first..etc..and love one another as He loved etc.., but He also gives us purposes of His to have us carry out too, but in all of this He never asks us to put the cart before the horse. He never expected you to do anything in the natural busy processes of a day, which He will not grace you and renew you in. Sometimes I've found myself fighting for godly productivity when God was calling me to godly rest, and renewal. I'd set out in quiet times and devotions which emphasized "getting filled up for the day", or "interceding for the world around me."....
Anyway! I'm going to a church retreat next week so I'm very excited about that. I also signed for school, getting another diploma (prep to get my degree, finally). I'm waiting for my acceptance email, I'm growing restless! I wanna receive the email already cause I'm excited to start school. I'm trying to stay healthy right now because early symptoms of the flu are showing and I can't afford to be sick.
Yay! I'm glad to hear you're doing fine and I'm very happy about this close friend! <3
Well, I was doing fine, I think. But sometimes, I find myself just going through the motions and I sense that something's missing in my daily walk and I get to working mode only realising, yet again, that I can never work my way to get closer to God. But it's still a struggle. The past few days I think I've been too hard on myself. I've set some goals (daily goals) for me to accomplish and I end up not fulfilling them and I think the frustration is piling up. Sometimes I just want to escape and isolate myself, which I'm trying to carefully stay away from. I still remember so well, how my world shattered just because I thought I'd find solution in my isolation... (1000 characters)
