Terms

Coming to terms with my nature is not easy. Your whole life is spent in perpetual blindness. You think you have this life worked out with church and good works when all along it is nothing but filthy rags. When will we see that our nature is against the Father and Jesus is the answer. You think this would be a thought for the lost. In turn it is for us the generation of works and religion.

God expels the tradition of man. It is a contradiction of His word. However, we are still the ones who try and play the game instead of living the life.

Philippians 2:13 Paul say that we are to work out our salvation in fear and trembling. We are so prideful in thinking that it is us who secures our eternal gift. I guess we missed the fear and trembling part. No work or good deed gets us heaven only Jesus. Our work, deeds, love, everything is a reversal of human nature when it comes to God. We don't obey to earn His love, we obey because of His love. Everything we do should be a thanksgiving because of the gift given. We don't work to earn the wage of God. He gives it freely! That is why we live for Him. That is the cause of our change.

See our life doesn't become deeds and works for salvation. Our life becomes worship because of His salvation. The terms of human nature is backwards from the nature of God. Nothing we can do or say can change anything absent of the Holy Spirit of God moving.

No matter how prideful one may be God is the mover we are just the hand carts!

A moment to reflect.

Not in as much time as it takes to formulate a thought does it take God to move you to action. I have felt as if there were to many things compounding my mind, my heart and my soul. I have seemed to let busy take the place of my love. Stress and worry of the world seem a proper replacement for faith and trust of the LORD when things seem out of hand. I know that Jesus tells us that we should worry about things. That is always easier said than done in this human existence. I have set a new path one that exists in a different light. A light that is not of my own doing but one that is of God. Yes I believe I follow His guiding already but not the way Jesus did. I feel that there is so much more room to grow and I need not to be the obstacle to the growth. It has been a while since I have blogged here and I know I had moved to the Tumblr site but I will be back here because even in that move to make things simpler has opened a door to more of the world to come in. So here am I ready to see difference in a life already captured by Christ, to see the real new life that is deserved in those chosen and sealed by the Holy Spirit. I pray that together we can come to this understanding that a a choice of living in the salvation of Jesus is the way we are chosen. I love that God loved us to give us a choice. I pray that I will always see the escape in Jesus, I will always boast in my weakness, that I will rest in the sufficient grace of Jesus and that I will be more than just a church going Christian but consistent constant follower of Jesus!
