  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

You know what, something He has really gotten through to me about now is that we are truly not here for ourselves.

I had been talking to Him off and on for awhile now about some issues in my life that are difficult at times....the fact that I go to 2 different churches, and also I was frustrated that I have never really felt like I fit in at the one our family goes to (we've been there for about 5 years now). One day when I was upset I was asking Him, please just tell me, AM i in Your will in this? I heard no answer right then, but the next day while at church, all of a sudden He spoke to my heart and said, "You are not here for you." That was all the answer I needed, it cleared up everything for me. The issue isn't me, or whether or not I feel like I fit in there. Yes I am in His will, but it is not about me.

As I thought on this He helped me to begin to really grasp that we are not on this earth, living this life, for us at all, ever! We are here for His purposes, to be available for His working through us. To touch others to draw them into His Father's Kingdom. If that was not needed, He would have taken us straight to heaven as soon as we met Him. But He does bless us also in this....I am so glad He has kept me here this long, cause i have had SO much to learn, SO much maturing and growing up to do. I would not want to meet Him in eternity still having been a baby, do you know what I mean? I want to learn more how to love Him unselfishly. I don't really know how to do that yet.

Also, as I am sure many of you here have felt, i have wished at times I could leave this life....not that I am suicidal or anything, but I have been so homesick for Him that I have wished this life could be over. He has helped me overcome that and be more content to stay here to please Him,...
but He has shown me so clearly now too that not only do we literally live here for Him, but we will die for Him. Not for ourselves or when we think we want to.

TRULY we live and we die, for Him and only Him. At HIS good pleasure, to fulfill HIS desires. Not our own.

Thank You Yeshua, help us please. We LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!!

AmyLisa, how appropriate that you would share those thoughts about Going Home and His timing now. I came to post the good news that I do not have breast cancer. I think I wrote to you all that I had to have a needle biopsy done to check out something they found in a mammogram. The biopsy was not as much of a big deal as I thought it would be. Like with my root canal, I needed no medication afterward. (Got the prescription ahead of time, and it was not used at all.) I thank God for the good diagnosis I received yesterday, but also for the days of wondering. I was pretty sure they'd caught it in time that trouble would be minimum if it was malignant, but there's always the possibility. I had to do several errands before I could go in for the results yesterday, and I ran into a friend whose girlfriend is going through the very treatments I feared. I didn't know about it until then, when he told me. Thinking about the possibility that I could go through the process of dying was quite an experience. My daughter is making plans to move out of state soon and to have friends take care of her and help her get a job. Whether I lived or not, she will soon no longer be under my protection and responsibility. Housing will require me to move into a one bedroom and I will not be able to take her back. When I was going through deep depression years ago, the only thing that kept me from being careless with my life was her dependence upon me and my spiritual influence on her. Now she barely talks with me about spiritual things, much less takes my advice. The best I can do is pray, and that I could do even better in Heaven. Only the painful process of cancer had me concerned, and the wondering how I would face it alone. I wondered if a positive diagnosis would change my behavior. Would I be more open about the Lord with people in my life? Would I try to go out with a bang?

Amy, I have been so touched by your writings and paintings lately. I'm not caught up on the old thread yet (am at the top of page 97 now), but what I've read has touched me to the heart. The first installment of the diary of Jesus was precious, and the poem about his poor Virgin Heart being emptied of love and filled with man's hatred made me groan in agony. What must it have been like to be made sin? How horrible! What a sacrifice!
I have been very busy, but I want to share something that I read close to Eastertime, after the fact. It has to do with blood covenants and Passover--something I read in a book. But I have to get ready for school right now.

Excellent meaty sharing Robin and AmyLisa! Robin I'm so glad you don't have cancer! :clap: Thank YOU Lord. Also I appreciate what you sad about my art and writing. That means a lot to me especialy beacuse these things made you think about Jesus. Now you inspired to write more in the "Jesus diary.'

Ames: "As I thought on this He helped me to begin to really grasp that we are not on this earth, living this life, for us at all, ever! We are here for His purposes, to be available for His working through us. To touch others to draw them into His Father's Kingdom. If that was not needed, He would have taken us straight to heaven as soon as we met Him."

That's a tall order. It's the cross/life, something that we are learning every day. It's so easy to fall into the place where we want recognition. Yet our Lord has said, "I am your exceeding great reward." I had a circumstance where I wanted a friend to simply say "thank you" for some things I had done for her. I really suffered with these thoughts and I kept giving this to Jesus. Our flesh can be such a pain. I din't WANT to think like that about her. Well God opened the door for us to talk about it and now that issue has been brought into the light and Jesus took care of it in His beautiful way. I say this because the Trinity knows our struggles. Jesus understands our humanity. He knows our need for love and affirmation. We all have gone through seasons of rejection, where others have misunderstood us. In any case like you said Amy, it's important that we give all things to Jesus and stay yoked with Him beneath the cross, trusting that He will meet are emotional needs accordingly be it through He Himself or through His body...1 Corinthians 13 comes to mind.

btw I'm glad you are still on the planet. :hug:
