Rick I agree with you. I am still sinning because I am still here, If I DIE OFF ALL SIN, I also obeyed to the DEATH of me... This is why Jesus said... If I want to save my life I shall lose it but if I lose it FOR HIS NAME SAKE, I will find it... And that life I will find is the LIFE IN CHRIST, that you talk about!
This is where I have not yet BOLDNESS to say.... I am a child of God! And who knows when that LIFE in CHRIST is meant for me, or when will God manifest that life in me, but I HUNGER for that with SUFFERING! Why am I still here? I ask God that same question EVERY day! You see Rick I feel like this... O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
And WHEN GOD? When will you save me from the body of this death? Please Lord SAVE ME! AMEN!
Rick I made the sums... calculations..... I am ready to PAY whatever God wants me too! God said I should make COUNTETH THE COST and decide whether I want to follow Him or not..... Luke 14:27 28. So I did the counteth, and believe me I am willing, I know God is willing, so Rick I have full FAITH that I will be gone soon! God said so, I believe Him. How long is SOON Rick? I do not know, but I await with a great sence of joy and excitement, I KNOW it is going to be SPECIAL!
Lord, please LET THOU WILL BE DONE! AMEN!~
Rick I love you as much AS GOD WANTS ME TOO AT THIS STAGE!!!! When I love AS HE LOVES YOU, I WILL BE GONE!
