...just to briefly support the originator of the thread and to give a bit o' feedback about why I believe in a God, who doesn't appear, to the human eye, and by human logic, to exist.

Then I read my email, and someone sent me a link that had this video. I watched it, then decided to post it here.

You know we only go through this clay-emboddied life once, never to trudge this particular soil again. This life, It is a brief blip in eternity. Gone, just like that *snaps fingers*

God wants to gather His stragglers. Some of which know Him not.. yet.

...thought i would post it here, to meditate more on it....

this is the thread:

Are God sending people to hell or are they sending them self there

God wants His stragglers with Him, in His arms...He wants His lost ones to come to safety, and warmth, and love, where He rejoices over us with singing. It's simple. God wants His stragglers to come home. That's why we're here. To help guide His stragglers home, to Him.

Hell was never meant for His children, His created ones. It is the plan, however, of His enemy, to get as many of His children there, with him. He hates God, and he will use every deception to trick God's children into blindly skipping into the abyss of it. By the time they realize it, it will be too late. God knows this. So does His enemy. The enemy mocks God and says "HA HAAAAA!!!! Got another one!" God knowes that His children, His created ones must make their own choice. He cannot decide for them. It boils down to those, that have a heart for God, that love Him, will avoid the pit. Those that are blind and deaf to His calling are at the mercy of the one who has no mercy. The enemy has successfully bludgeoned their senses with this world and its influence to the point that it drowns out God's promptings. And thus the journey of death, torment, hopelessness, and darkness begins...but it is not seen in all its fruition until it is too late. Yet, God still places markers, reminders, and His children along the way to throw lifelines. But they must be grasped willingly by the recipient. They can never be forced on anyone.

Yet, the door of grace remains open, still. However, there will come a time when the door is closed by God Himself, because it must be done. When that happens it will be too late. Eternity starts. The clock is ticking.

...i posted this in a thread...thought i'd post it here...it's what i've been meditating on and praying about....it is one of the issues i've struggled with and that has plagued me.....and haunted me....

The going back....

We stumble, skin our kness, and like David, we can have some horrific tumbles....yet, David was the apple of God's eye. We are His children, and like children, can wander, go astray, get distracted, run after the pretty flashing bright lights of this world...we are flesh. Yet, God knows this about us. He knows us through and through...our weaknesses, that we're prone to wander, and that we have a very short attention span. It's the coming back to our Father that is what cleaves us to His heart. Not listening to the lies of the enemy that we have messed up too much and we cannot go into Abba's presence, so we avoid Him. Our growing love for Him will prompt us to go back to His arms, in tears, all muddied up, scraped up, with brambles in our hair, dragging our defeat with us.....it's the going back...even if it's been months or years...it's the going back, with our brokenness, heartbreak, shambled, scrambled selves.....it's the going back...

and climbing our weary selves up into His lap, and laying our defeated head on His chest, and telling Him all that we've done...just pouring it out before Him....as His beating heart's rhythm sings a lullabye to us....and we are at home, once more.

I have a quote...kind of a long one on prayer that I'll post....it's from "The Heart of a Godchaser" book by Tommy Tenney

Here it is:

“Tell God all that is in your heart, as one unloads one's heart, it's pleasures, and it's pains, to a dear friend.

Tell him your troubles, that he may comfort you; tell him your joys, that he may sober them; tell him your longings, that he may purify them; tell him your dislikes, that he may help you coquer them; talk to him of your temptations, that he may shield you from them; show him the wounds of your heart, that he may heal them; lay bare your indifference to good, your depraved tastes for evil, your instability. Tell him how self-love makes you unjust to others, how vanity tempts you to be insincere, how pride disguises you to yourself and others.

If you thus pour out your weaknesses, needs, troubles, there will be no lack of what to say. You will never exhaust the subject. It is continually being renewed. People who have no secrets from each other never want for subject of conversation. They do not weigh their words, for there is nothing to be held back, neither do they seek for something to say. They talk out of the abundance of their heart, without consideration they say just what they think. Blessed are they who attain to such familiar, unreserved intercourse with God.” ~Francois Fenelon
