Moriah Conquering Wind says (12:19 AM):
it bes thinksy it seems some want to fit God into their schedule
Moriah Conquering Wind says (12:20 AM):
not an indictment or condemnation BTW just an observation
Moriah Conquering Wind says (12:20 AM):
it seems some want to fit God into their schedule, to stop and start with Him on their clock.
Moriah Conquering Wind says (12:20 AM):
Like, OK, we have one hour to worship now
Moriah Conquering Wind says (12:20 AM):
So we will do so, and at the end of that hour, sayonara, we have other things to do.
Moriah Conquering Wind says (12:20 AM):
Moriah does not understand that.
Moriah Conquering Wind says (12:21 AM):
It pushes impatiently through the rest of its schedule to get TO God
** Friend of Moriah ** says (12:21 AM):
I don't understand it either...but....I am thankful that they do come.
Moriah Conquering Wind says (12:21 AM):
yes, it bes thankful they come also
Moriah Conquering Wind says (12:21 AM):
but it bes thinking there seem to be two types
Moriah Conquering Wind says (12:21 AM):
not classes, not one better than the other, just types,
different types
Moriah Conquering Wind says (12:21 AM):
how can it say this
Moriah Conquering Wind says (12:22 AM):
some seem destined for a human life blessed by God, and there bes nothing wrong with that -- it can be a very beautiful thing
Moriah Conquering Wind says (12:22 AM):
but moriah bes impatient with human life, it could easily spend every waking hour in the chapel, in prayer, in the Word
Moriah Conquering Wind says (12:22 AM):
what bes wrong with Moriah
** Friend of Moriah ** says (12:22 AM):
i know what you're saying.
** Friend of Moriah ** says (12:23 AM):
NOTHING is wrong with MORIAH.
** Friend of Moriah ** says (12:23 AM):
And by the same token, NOTHING is wrong with the others. It is all in due time that each will come to his Saviour.
Moriah Conquering Wind says (12:24 AM):
it has been reading some things of late
Moriah Conquering Wind says (12:24 AM):
just stuffs here and there
Moriah Conquering Wind says (12:24 AM):
what saying things about how we bes not meant to live the life Jesus lived, but rather to have Jesus live His life in/through us.
Moriah Conquering Wind says (12:24 AM):
and a lot of times they bes writing about them that tries too hard to be perfect and writing that as a comfort to them
Moriah Conquering Wind says (12:25 AM):
so they can rest in Him and not feel they will be cast out by God unless they perfectly reproduce every selfless thing Christ did
Moriah Conquering Wind says (12:25 AM):
not explaining this well, ack. :o
** Friend of Moriah ** says (12:25 AM):
No, I'm getting it.
Moriah Conquering Wind says (12:25 AM):
the gist being
Moriah Conquering Wind says (12:26 AM):
we bes not required to do in ourselves what Christ has already done -- He has slogged the hardest road and gained the victory -- our experience should be resting in Him and trusting in Him and letting Him manifest it in and through us, rather than striving to imitate His life in particulars
Moriah Conquering Wind says (12:26 AM):
But for Moriah this bes different.
Moriah Conquering Wind says (12:27 AM):
It does not strive to imitate His life so that it can be a good person or overcome sin itself rather than resting in His victory etc.
Moriah Conquering Wind says (12:27 AM):
It does not feel stress or strain in other words
Moriah Conquering Wind says (12:27 AM):
it WANTS to walk where He walked
Moriah Conquering Wind says (12:27 AM):
it WANTS to live as He lived.
Moriah Conquering Wind says (12:27 AM):
it wants nothing more than that
** Friend of Moriah ** says (12:28 AM):
Dude.
** Friend of Moriah ** says (12:28 AM):
You are in LOVE with Chris.
** Friend of Moriah ** says (12:28 AM):
I mean...Christ!
Moriah Conquering Wind says (12:28 AM):
yeah
** Friend of Moriah ** says (12:28 AM):
Well, lady. That's the best place to be.
** Friend of Moriah ** says (12:28 AM):
IN LOVE with Christ.
** Friend of Moriah ** says (12:28 AM):
You absolutely ADORE Him.
Moriah Conquering Wind says (12:28 AM):
yeah
Moriah Conquering Wind says (12:28 AM):
it does
** Friend of Moriah ** says (12:29 AM):
What could possibly be wrong with that?
Moriah Conquering Wind says (12:29 AM):
everything.
** Friend of Moriah ** says (12:29 AM):
I have to laugh. But, yes, I understand.
Moriah Conquering Wind says (12:29 AM):
all it wants to bes to go be with Him
Moriah Conquering Wind says (12:29 AM):
but this freaking WORLD with its stupid SYSTEM and all its DEMANDS
Moriah Conquering Wind says (12:29 AM):
makes it CRAZY
Moriah Conquering Wind says (12:30 AM):
gets in the WAY, eats up too much time and energy
Moriah Conquering Wind says (12:30 AM):
it wants OUT of this life entirely
Moriah Conquering Wind says (12:30 AM):
not as in death
Moriah Conquering Wind says (12:30 AM):
it means out of this [artificial world] way of living
Moriah Conquering Wind says (12:30 AM):
maybe it should join a monastery it thinks sometimes
Moriah Conquering Wind says (12:31 AM):
but then it thinks no because it does not want to be cut OFF from this world either
Moriah Conquering Wind says (12:31 AM):
it wants to be salt and light
Moriah Conquering Wind says (12:31 AM):
not dirt and fuel and fodder
Moriah Conquering Wind says (12:31 AM):
does that make sense
** Friend of Moriah ** says (12:31 AM):
Yes.
** Friend of Moriah ** says (12:31 AM):
Because I know what it is to be in love.
it bes thinksy it seems some want to fit God into their schedule
