Brother Anthony. First let me tell you how much not only I think of you every time you are in the chat room but many! Your laugh and honestly is refreshing as well! Now since we really do not know each other much,you be the judge if this is Jesus in me speaking to you bro! The pain I believe in the Lord you still have,is what still is hidden by you from the Lord.
Of course as we both know we cannot hid,and this is sometimes our pain,I sure know it was to me,we put on a mask for others to see,but deep down our clown face, and projection to others,is yet a deep pain, a pain we wish the Lord in some one or something would just say to us, hey I know you bro!!
And I love you just the same. Well Brother take this message as just that from the Lord in me! WE struggle many times with the truth others have,and the real truth we know in our self,we know how to fool the world,we had to learn this to make it out on the streets!
We had to become,as the world would call this a player. The problem with being a player,is when to stop being one. God does not play,but we have had to for so long,we ended up playing ourselves as well! At least for a time we did! But in Jesus we find who is far stronger,we know the time to play is over,but how do we learn, in Jesus whom we love, to become truly sincere?
This my Brother, we never stop learning! Now the good news! When we became a player in the world,we had to practice this,see what would work,and what would not,we used body language as well to help us in this,it took time for us,but after a few months,we knew we could sell anything to most we needed to do at the time.Unless!!! They were also a player,and from one player to another,it did not take either of us long to know,you cannot play, a player!! hehe
So now we wish to follow Jesus,we long to let Jesus in us become, no more a player,but rather true,100 percent love,and we know that love for others cannot nor does play! What helped me so much my brother to do this,was when I wake up,Jesus is with us,I mean really with us,when we play on the computer Jesus is with us,I sometimes, even now as I write to you,am talking to him,what Lord should I say next to my brother in Christ?
You know what a friend truly is!! You my brother as I have always known!! TRUTH IN LOVE!! But to do this,we must first acquire this! This brother Anthony,we learn daily from God's Word,we are looking to change the tape in our minds.( rom 12:1-2) God is not a mirage,so why then would we treat him as such?? This was my question given unto me as well! What you think he does not see us??
What do we think he has gone to lunch when we do something stupid??LOL We like to play games in our minds at times,but you my brother have come to the end of this,even as I have as well! If I may humbly point out some things for you to consider. A friend ( John 15:12-17!!) You are God's friend!! Now the question for us is then,will we allow ourselves to really be one?? Or will do we has never worked except to the world and play as one?
A friend I learned cannot be apart, at least not for very long! What we do, our friend does. What we say our friend hears,and says yea I hear you!! Now we must learn how to hear from our friend! We have talked a good game,but we need to learn now,so our words tend to be few,until we do learn from our friend Jesus! I did not mean to talk this long Anthony,but I have been led to tell you, Jesus is your friend!!
He cares about you pain and sorrow,and wants to help,will you let him love you even as you are?? I had to,and as tough as it was,I sure was glad, because in Christ there is only truth,no game,no play,just love in truth!And that my brother in Christ, is what we in him are to learn,so we can become a friend to other brothers and sister who need him,even as we did!!
Blessing bro my prayers are with you! Sustain me according to YOUR WORD that I may live;and do not let me be ashamed of my hope!( psalm 119:116) Hope is not maybe,hope is Christ,yes brother,and us in him!! amen!! I hope!! This has not only blessed you,but has given you hope,to become,what you truly want to be!! A FRIEND!! in Jesus!!
