EYES

[Wired 4 Fishen]

i hear you
honestly, i was just frustrated because i could tell that rag4acrown has good input but no one (including myself) was really able to understand her thoughts because of the way she was communicating.
i could certainly learn to love more. i pray everyday asking God to help me.

I was having trouble in this area and I truly wanted to rise above this and so my prayers were in this direction. I soon found out that the enemy will make sure to place people in your life that are so trying that you feel like screaming. lol.. I had one who lied and caused more trouble in my life as well as many others and even though she was like this, I must admit I am thankful for her.
Some days I would csatch myself and say Lord I did it again and I repent of this and aske you to forgive me and I would forgive this lady and pray blessings and such over her and her family. Some days this might happen 20 times and the awesome thing is, God never once showed me anything but love Brother.

Long and the short of it. I got to the place where when I saw her or heard her name I was not moved or bothered and it was all good.
Now it seems that offences just bounce right off. It is like second nature to me now. I forgive so quickly and love them in the Lord and the offences can not find a place to make root. Oh there are times when I still have to excersise forgiveness severtal times for some one but it never takes root and that is all GOD brother. I mean only God through Christ could have worked this into me.

Life it is always full of obstacles but the Grace and Love of God will turn therm into stepping stones for you.
Blessings and Love
Jim

Personally I think the old English is fun and I started out with the King James so all my memory verses are in old English.
When I was a kid I thought God talked that way.

I guess some are surprised when they meet anyone who speaks as though they believe it.
Also in John ch 17 the one whom God sent sent the apostles and anyone who hears and believes his word.
So that makes us the one whom God sent.

I hear you ! I thought you had to talk this way and when I first started reading the word of God I used King James and it did not take me long to figure out...There has got to be a better way. lol...Now many years later it is my first choice and I have a few other translations as well to get other perspectives on what God is showing me.

 

[Fragrant Grace]

I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave Himself for me.
Galatians 2:20

All that matters is Jesus
Not who we are, not what we have done
But all that He has done for us and who we are in HIm

May He open our eyes to His truth
That we may only live and love like Jesus
Seeing things with our eyes full of love


Open my eyes that I may see
Glimpses of truth Thou hast for me;
Place in my hands the wonderful key
That shall unclasp and set me free.

Silently now I wait for Thee,
Ready, my God, Thy will to see;
Open my eyes, illumine me,
Spirit Divine!

Open my ears that I may hear
Voices of truth Thou sendest clear;
And while the wave notes fall on my ear,
Everything false will disappear.

Open my mouth and let me bear
Tidings of mercy everywhere;
Open my heart and let me prepare
Love with Thy children thus to share.

Open my mind that I may read
More of Thy love in word and deed;
What shall I fear while yet Thou dost lead?
Only for light from Thee I plead*


*Clara H Scott 19th century hymn

Greetings,

People are born blind! But, somewhere along the way are "eyes to see" obtained by some. Just what does it take to enable a person to see?

"Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you.
And their eyes were opened;.." Matt 9:29-30

"And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw ought.
And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking.
After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly." Mark 8:23-25

"I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see." Rev 3:18
