Im glad to tell on myself. Im one of those who believe that my Papa wishes ad purposes all the best for me. I trend towards the misunderstood name it and claim it group, but not entirely or too much on their note. I heard in certain groups an invite to a God of your own understanding and thought that was a permission to make a God in your own image to justify your own existence. I said misunderstanding with my subscription to that crowd is because my identification with them comes from my own understanding of my God. His name is Jesus. Hes the only one that I believe that showed the way, can gain you access to the Father and access to His Holy Spirit. The God of my understanding wishes nothing but the best for me. Trials, pain and trouble are necessary for growth (Jesus GREW in wisdom and understanding (being tried in every way as we are)), but I dont have to pray for His will in matters because (as similar to the name it and claim it group) I believe I know His will for me. Jesus, unlike Mohammad (or others) healed everyone who came to Him. Though He called everyone to better account, He never cursed another or had malcontent towards anyone. In fact the God of my own understanding died to pay the ultimate curse for even the most hideous human. My ten year old boy was mutilated to death, I know trials and tribulation. Ive heard few to none express a childhood more difficult than my own (I know theyre out there). Ive had more accidents, abuse and physical assaults on my life than anyone I know, but Im still here. Blessing folks as often as I can, working my ass off and not willing to simply survive. Unlike too many, I believe that it has nothing to do with me. I wasnt grown up with privilege (quite the contrary), Im not the genius or ethical Lancelot some ascribe to me ( nor the demon that others have). If Im good or am benefit to anyone, its because the God of my understanding is Jesus. Its because His will for me is GOOD and NOT EVIL. Because He paid for ALL my transgressions and has justified me, redeemed me, been made righteousness, sanctification and wisdom for me, healed me by the stripes that He willingly bore for me, shed His love abroad in my heart, given me the measure of faith (and opportunity to exercise and grow both (love & faith (practice and His WORD)) and with He in me, I can expect His glory. I hope this means something to someone, but Im okay if it doesnt. Your acceptance/disapproval, material loss or tribulation has little affect on me anymore. FYI my favorite scripture is Col 2:9,10 Dont just love when its easy. I remember when Bruce told me that everyone (even those disinterested) at an Easter egg hunt finds something, but those who really, really search SCORE! Be patient and kind with me (and others), believe hope and expect the best of others (including America), dont think to highly of yourself and dont impose yourself on others (its proper if you have enemies). Im just a carpenter and cant help as many as Id like, but I can be vulnerable here for you and hope that in some way it might help. I suffer terribly from PTSD and hate sleeping (at least when Im awake I can order distractions), but last night at the end of my last dream (wounded and in a march with others) I was singing this song. Dont really mind doing this to you again. The third and fourth time playing it this morning, tears were streaming down my face AND IT FELT GOOD! https://youtube/watch?v=UuuZMg6NVeA
