An old sword

i sit here and write as i have many times before . and this time it is different . there is no illusion . i see i cannot do it . i am not enough . and i surrender .

Judgment

Judgment .. A day seen by many as this time when God opens up all these books of our actions during our lives .. mostly negative .. that He’s been keeping of track of our whole lives .. But this couldn’t be farther from the truth . Paul wrote to the Corinthians that on that day the secrets of men’s hearts will be revealed . God is love . And Love does not keep record of wrongs . The lengthy tomes God opens up on the day of Judgment is the records of wrongs we hold against one another . So as it was written in James: “Speak and act as those who are going to be judged by the law that gives freedom, because judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful. Mercy triumphs over judgment!” (James 2:12-13)

So judgment as Peter says begins with the house of God . God enters into your heart and He cleans house . As it was in me it would be in anyone . God through His Spirit uses the words of the bible to smash the rocks to pieces and to burn away all the weeds .. As it is written: is not my word like a fire? A hammer that breaks the rocks to pieces? And “I will make you as a threshing instrument that turns the mountains into chaff” as traumatic as these years may seem in comparison to the years that follow when love brings revival to our souls . We all know .. Those years of cleaning house and breaking up the hard parts .. Were completely necessary . So the Spirit might bring about life in me .

With reluctance of heart i again pick up this double edged sword that killed me so that i might live .
