I heard this when I read your post..

The winds and the waves shall obey thy will
Peace, be still
Whether the wrath of the storm-tossed sea
Or demons, or men, or whatever it be
No water can swallow the ship where lies
The Master of ocean and earth and sky
They all shall sweetly obey thy will
Peace, peace, be still

Part of the journey to transformation is being honest with oneself and with God. The problem is that in many occasions we don't even know the root of the problem to be able to be honest about it or we simply don't accept it and keep going without confession.

Why, that was wonderful. Is it your own piece or other another's published work?

These are the things the Lord has been speaking me about lately.

-Preferring others interests above my own. It's been more of less a rebuke and correction. (Philippians 2:21)

-Not taking things personally during conversations where there is disagreement.

He's also corrected an erroneous teaching that I came to believe about the makeup of a human soul. I've always been taught that it consisted of the mind, will, and emotions. A brother and I were discussing it last night and it donned on me from Matthew 22:37 that the soul cannot be the mind or will because Jesus would not have listed those more than once in the same verse. It just doesn't make sense. So, emotions yes. But the other no.

Its from a song my mother used to play when I was a child. The piece is based on Mark 4:37-39. :)

Are these arguments or differences of opinion?
Differences of opinion. I don't argue or debate scripture or convictions.

I'll put my viewpoint out there and welcome from others theirs too. But I see no point in arguing.

Okay. I was trying to understand the context of the statement. Opinions are shaped by many things. Differences can provide a fresh perspective. Even when they’re incorrect. It’s unlikely either are the lone parties who feel the same. Tolerance is built this way. :)

If anything, he has been working on my rough edges. Not just little imperfections, but important things that need to be remedied. Like if I was clay, I'd be dry and lumpy at the moment. A lot of it has to do with my attitude. The good news is now that I'm aware, I can put in the effort.

And the most recurring word..Be patient.

Lol:234:
Same here. To be patient, yet also thankful.

I’ve felt a gentle tug on my tether and His wish for me to yield to something for the greater good. As He’s steered me away from distractions and returned me to my rightful place I’m overcome by His desire to protect me and secure my welfare. It is a little thing yet everything. And I can’t say no.

Would you like to say what that "something" is that's for the greater good, or prefer to keep it to yourself?
