W/ ALL YOUR H, S, AND M.

You're missing the point. There's no amount of things you can work to, to be in tune with God. He is sovereign and He can distribute His spirit how He likes. Fortunately, He likes to give freely to all men who desire Him. Remember the first and greatest commandment.

GREATNESS

What makes a man great? Is it the amount of achievements he overcomes in his life? The summation of a large work that points to one or two accomplishments? Is it by papers and noteworthy plaques? Or by living everyday as it will pass away along with everything aforementioned?

NOT SUPPOSED TO

We were not created to feel loss or left out. Loneliness should be obsolete; it should have never begun. Sadness should be happiness. We're not supposed to know that lying exists. Marriage shouldn't end. Love should never fail. And we were not given life so that we could die.

COMPLIMENT

I don't understand why people think good things about people and don't constantly tell the person, reminding them how wonderful they are. This life is a vapor. If you have a compliment, be bold and tell someone. Always... Everyday. You may not get another chance. Live in this way.

DEEPNESS

There are levels of which people deal. There’s light play, cover up; in which they attempt to push away facing reality. There is busyness; in which people find things to occupy what should be directivity. Then there is deepness; in which you can face life head on, alongside Jesus.

WHY ASK WHY?

We should ask the question, 'Why?' If we sit back and wait for information to come to us, we may not progress. Asking, Why things are how they are, is the fastest way to grow. It's confrontational, you may have to face hurtful things. The result is stronger faith.

EMOTIONALISM

Emotionalism is intensely personal. You should not act off of it, in any circumstances. You should act from The Spirit only. In relationships, you should save that piece of yourself for your spouse, not relinquishing it to anyone; or what else separates your spouse from the rest of them?

I HAVE DECIDED

This has been laid on my heart today: I have decided to follow Jesus, though I may wander I still will follow, the world behind me, the cross before me, though none go with me, I still will follow. No turning back. Will you decide now to follow Jesus?

CHECK

I check everything with this thought; always in my mind. No matter what I do or problems I face, that if at the end of the day my main goal isn't to know God and love Him completely, I've missed the point completely. Thus is the point of existing.

SIDETRACKED

"Fix your eyes on what lays before you. Mark out a straight path before you. Stay on the safe path, do not get sidetracked, keep your feet from following evil." Why are we so fickle to ignore what's in front of us? Train yourselves to love light; not darkness.

SIMPLE

God is not hidden. He didn't create us to then hide Himself and watch us struggle on our own. He created us to be near Him. He makes Himself personal and relatable, bringing Himself down to our levels so that we can have the opportunity to know Him. Simple.

FILLERS

We ignore our problems. The tendency to not face our hearts is our largest downfall. God desires our full hearts. How can we give it to Him if we don't know what's in it? I urge you to seek out yourselves instead of just seeking after time wasting fillers.

BLASPHEMY

The flesh in me laughs, but the spirit in me wants to defend Him. It raises a good question; Can we laugh at such serious things? In definition it means: The act or offense of speaking sacrilegiously about God. It is out of irreverence and profanity that we laugh.

JOHN 3:16

Ever heard of it? Something is only worth as much as someone says it is, as much as they'll pay. We were worthless, our Father decided we were worth the highest price, deserving the most difficult payment. If you are a father you know why this is so arduous.

4th OF JULY

The last 4th of July, I spent it thinking I would be at a certain place this time around. But tomorrow is independence day and it feels like I've actually accomplished moving backwards. I've had an ideal 4th in mind that has never actually happened yet. Maybe next year?

IT'S ALIVE!

The bible is life. It's very bizarre how it works. Just opening the word to anywhere, life seeps from its pages. Perhaps, aside from the content, it's simply because God promises life from His word that it brings the spirit to life inside us. I need to read more.
