This was the question I was asked at Logan's basketball game lastnight. I answered it with some quick typical response and walked off. But as was watching his game, the question kept poping back up in my mind. How is the world treating me? It then came to me, not to well. But why should it? I am not of this world. (Phil. 3:20) In this world I will have troubles! (John 16:33) The world Hates me! (John 15:18-19) In knowing this, I feel a sense of peace.
Oh, I needed to be reminded of that today! It is funny how things happen and continue to happen in our lives... the pains and sufferings of just everyday things or disapiontments... and though they happen they can loose thier sting as you come to the understanding of it... It looses it power!!! Awsome!!!
Again, His Word has proven to me to be Just and true! A constant reminder to me of the importance of staying in it!! He has given me the strength I needed, and with it all the gifts of the Spirit. (Gal. 5:22) And the power that comes with that is more than words can discribe!!! FREEDOM!!!!
Freedom in Christ!! I am heading for my bible and reading Galatians 5-6!!!
Praise be to God!!
My love for Him continues to grow!! And He continues to prove over and over again and again His faithfulness to me!!! As He does all His Children!!!
