LOL... """Christians are called to set their affections on things above where Christ is and where their true (eternal) life is.""" Howdy/Hi/Hello Stan :) and yes... there is a daily story in this note somewhere... or rather a real glimmer of a little happening for me yesterday :) so I hope I conform to the Daily Story Corner in some way in this writing... LOL Here is where Christ is for me... Christ is In Me!! The kingdom of heaven is within me and at hand. I walk by faith, live by faith and Christ and I commune almost moment by moment sometimes directly and sometimes by my coming again and again to understand all that he has given me here in the depths of my being. He has placed himself inside me, he breathes me, he walks me, he talks me, and he Loves me. His kingdom is within me and at hand... he is closer than close. I sometimes walk toward faith, but more and more walk from faith... in the It Is Done belief... As in heaven, so on earth.. The gift of God Himself - the Gift of God is Himself...) has been given to you and to me. How I accept his gift of Himself and how you accept his gift of Himself at any given time, will vary because you are a beautifully crafted individual made in the image and likeness of God Himself and given free will to choose anything of his that he offers, as am I. I chose Jesus Christ and Him crucified and as Paul said I am crucified with Christ, nevertheless I live, yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith OF the Son of God who loved me, and gave himself for me. Long ago I decided I would be God's and not doctrines... though I have been doctrines, but no longer... doctrine freed me then bound me... I talked to God of this and said... no more... Only You... and He, with all the scripture that had been and is placed within me and more talks to me all the time. Churches argue, people argue... scripture says don't... just be willing to give an answer for that which lies within you... I give you an answer to that which lies within me... the pearl of great price, the hidden mysteries of the depths of his being which shall be always known as Love, the Christ who was crucified before the beginning of the world.. He has given me his name to use for ever... I AM... and he has told us we could go in his Name - Christ Jesus (i.e. his nature) and do His works and even Greater works! For me... I chose to run into the City of Joy, the Understanding of Peace, the Beauty and Holiness of Love, to stand in the temple of my body "know ye not that ye are the temple of the living God and to worship him in all that I do.... That is just me... fran.... after years of teaching, years of listening, years of hearing the devisions... among churches, and the binding and not the freeing... Oh my... no no no... If I am wrong, than I am wrong while listening to Him... if I am right, it is because it is He who has made me right... makes no difference...I love Him... He loves me... We get along... and most of the time... I just remain a rather normal, quiet, shy human being... who Loves God... discovering all the secrets he has hidden within me... Here is a secret found within me from yesterday... I was reading in a book... well... yes, a Christian novel, LOL... but it just happened to be a Christian novel, and one of the characters is talking about... I learn from everything... he teaches me from everything... Bless those that curse you.... and all of a sudden He said to me... you can bless your thoughts too... your thoughts cause you troubles and worries and come to you like real people sometimes... you war with them and Paul tells us to cast down imaginations and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God... and so I decided to examine this and the next time I became irritated I looked at my thought and decided to bless it... this is a new venture to me... usually I had thought of it as blessing individuals I could see and touch and interact with... and here I am interacting inside myself all the time and creating sometimes a nasty tension within me... not good.. So... a little tiny talk with him after he 'clicked' my awareness... from yesterday gave me another tool... another secret ... another pleasure of his handed to me on an instantly offered platter of Take It... It's Yours if you want it Fran... Here is my path now: it is directed toward waling out of the Go Do Be stage into the Be Go Do stage as it presents itself.. He has called me to Be his reflection in this world... it's like walking from faith rather than walking to faith.. I'd rather be a reflection than fran all separate from Him... I am so glad you Love Him... I am so glad he Loves Me... We are told to Prove what is that Good and Acceptable and Perfect Will of God... I'm up for that one... ps :) without going back and looking... I do believe that Job brought a lot of his happenings and sorrows upon himself... then realized it... and God blessed him.... Always I am open to learn, always I am open to hear... and you may say something that He will trigger in my mind and say... look... here's another discovery for you, fran.. and remember that wonderful scripture... 1 John 2:27... incredible teaching... but the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him... and you can look it up also in the amplified (this was KJV) and also check out John 14:26 ..... The bible is a book of wonder... to some it is a history... to some the book itself is sacred... to some it a Living revelation of who and what is within us... for me it is a story of ....... fill in the blank...... it is written for me to discover that it is in me...that He is in me.. We are told in the bible that man will first goes out and cleans up the outside of his house (what is his house) and then.... goes in... and cleans up the inside... I'm in the inside now... sometimes on the outside still ... but just doing the usual wifely... LOL... stuff... sweeping up the bad thoughts, doing away with the limited thinking, saying to this one go, and to this one come... and having a wonderful time as He and I ... as One dance along this highway of Life... Yes, I can cry, yes I can swear, yes, I can weep... but over all those, in all those... I am blessed... and so are you... for we have this Hope within us.. this knowing.. I have to stop... there is a bill to pay and sigh... :) What is his good pleasure in you? You are finding out... because you Love Him... I am finding out what his good pleasure is in me? Fun isn't it... Eternally and beyond... Never ending.. :)
