It has been sometime since I have posted anything towards the advancing of Gods Kingdom coporately. For that I do apologize. I would not put to question the varacity of what I am about to write by offering excuses. I will say without reservation that I have been under a tremendous assault by the enemy and hes not seeming to give groud - niether will I as I am fully convinced that greater is he that is in me than he thatis in the world. I have had people whom I love dearly - abandon me and that without cause. Its sad that some of us contend that were the children of God and yet were unable treat people with whats less than common courtesy. that said,know this, I am convinced of Gods love and wisdom, its become natural for me to thank him for the care with which he made me, I say, Lord, you did it well. So what if others lack the ability to accept me I take courage in knowing that I am accepted in the beloved. God created me, and he has graced me with a profound insight into myself and others. Hes reveal to me that Hes first concerned with our development. He knows what we are meant to be. Any father is pleased when his children develop well, and God, our heavenly Father, is just as pleased when his children conform to the plans he has for us. In his love, he wants to help us develop and bloom. Realizing this about him-that he knows, loves, and accepts me, and will help me grow-is the basis for a healthy biblical self-image. So to those of you who have discounted the opportunity thats been set forth to have you as a closely aquainted person in my life, you who would rather judge then encourage, you who cant see anyone go upward without pulling them down, you who cant wish well of others because you are to busy looking at yourself, to you I offer not my word but His who created us all. Psalm 139:14 “I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.” (KJV) John 6:37 “All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never cast out.” (ESV) John 1:12 “But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name.” (NASB) Romans 15:7 “Therefore, accept one another, just as Christ also accepted us to the glory of God.” (NASB) Genesis 4:7 “If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must master it.” (NIV) 1 Samuel 16:7b “For the LORD does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.’ (NKJV) Luke 2:9-10 “And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with fear. And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people.” (ESV) Ephesians 1:3-6 “Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love he predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will – to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves.” (NIV) Colossians 1:19-23 “For God in all his fullness was pleased to live in Christ, and through him God reconciled everything to himself. He made peace with everything in heaven and on earth by means of Christ’s blood on the cross. This includes you who were once far away from God. You were his enemies, separated from him by your evil thoughts and actions. Yet now he has reconciled you to himself through the death of Christ in his physical body. As a result, he has brought you into his own presence, and you are holy and blameless as you stand before him without a single fault. But you must continue to believe this truth and stand firmly in it. Don’t drift away from the assurance you received when you heard the Good News. The Good News has been preached all over the world, and I, Paul, have been appointed as God’s servant to proclaim it.” (NLT) Philippians 2:3 “Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself.” (NKJV) Psalm 118:8 “It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.” (KJV) Proverbs 14:26 “In the fear of the LORD is strong confidence: and his children shall have a place of refuge.” (KJV) In peace.
