The Lord your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing.” Zephaniah 3:17 NIV

John 9:2-3 NLT

“Rabbi,” his disciples asked him, “why was this man born blind? Was it because of his own sins or his parents’ sins?” “It was not because of his sins or his parents’ sins,” Jesus answered. “This happened so the power of God could be seen in him.

O the happiness of a man,
To whom Jehovah imputeth not iniquity,
And in whose spirit there is no deceit.

"Having canceled out the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us and which was hostile to us; and He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. When He had disarmed the rulers and authorities, He made a public display of them, having triumphed over them through Him. Therefore let no one act as your judge in regard to food or drink or in respect to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day- things which are a mere shadow of what is to come; but the substance belongs to Christ." (Col 2:14-16).

[ Doxology ] Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments, and his paths beyond tracing out! Romans 11:33 NIV

[h=3]Romans 11:33[/h]Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)

[SUP]33 [/SUP]O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!

I guess that knocks out working for it, since I am seeing in this verse it can only be revealed to us by God, by belief, and is shown whenever God decides to show it

not that trying to know God is bad, for I think not, there is just a fine line as in one's motive, and is why it gets revealed or it does not, depending on one's reason(s)

Truly to me it is not okay to have any mankind, or religion between me and God. for Christ is the only mediator between mankind and God the Father

Therefor it is okay for me to attend any Church anywhere at any time one is called to do so, or stay at any gathering called to do so.
Romans 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

1 John 2:3

We know that we have come to know him if we keep his commands.
There are many interpretations as to what are his commandments? And so therefor much doubt has been created to all mankind, until truth is revealed that sets one free to love all without conditions
[h=3]1 Corinthians 13:4-13[/h]Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)

[SUP]4 [/SUP]Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, [SUP]5 [/SUP]doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; [SUP]6 [/SUP]rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; [SUP]7 [/SUP]beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
[SUP]8 [/SUP]Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. [SUP]9 [/SUP]For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. [SUP]10 [/SUP]But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
[SUP]11 [/SUP]When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. [SUP]12 [/SUP]For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. [SUP]13 [/SUP]And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

And I only see this: that I, me, my nature I was born with can't do this type of love perfect. It is impossible for me to do it perfect. All I ever had to do was just fail once at any of those verses and I am not perfect, nor ever can be in this life of or by me ever. Even with the help of others, for I am undone:
And in need to be one with Father Son and Holy Ghost. How can I be, since "I" can't be perfect, since I have failed at least once. The fact that I have failed is proof of not ever being able to be perfect is it not?
So who will save me from this:

[h=3]Romans 7:24-25[/h]Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)

[SUP]24 [/SUP]O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? [SUP]25 [/SUP]I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.

So then maybe we might want to see this:
Romans 6:11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Do we believe to be or have to try to be?

Whoso is covering transgression is seeking love,
And whoso is repeating a matter
Is separating a familiar friend.

Psalm 46:4-6

4 There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
the holy place where the Most High dwells.
5 God is within her, she will not fall;
God will help her at break of day.



At a tough time in my life, this scripture came to me over and over again both in my own study and in speaking with others and even in sermons I listened to. I held on to it, and it brought me such comfort and assurance that I would overcome and not fall. This was years ago.

It wasn't until recently that it clicked to me-my name means river. It was a goosebump moment and every so often this scripture pops into my head and brings me tears of joy. As silly as this sounds I like to believe this scripture was there just for me.

30 [/SUP]Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, saith the Lord God. Repent, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin. [SUP]31 [/SUP]Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel? [SUP]32 [/SUP]For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord God: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye.

12 [/SUP]I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. [SUP]13 [/SUP]Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. [SUP]14 [/SUP]He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. [SUP]15 [/SUP]All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

Even if we are unfaithful, Jesus remains faithful, for He cannot deny Himself.

Luke 8:1) And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every city and village, preaching and shewing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and the twelve were with him,
2 .) And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils,
3 .) And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto him of their substance.
