I was just thinking of something tonight about this. I don't know about anyone else but my heart breaks when I see one who had done good turn to do evil.
I can relate to Paul as he writes this letter to those whom he had led out of darkness only to hear of them returning to it. It makes me understand the importance of a pastor who does not stop his labor. I encourage everyone to thank their pastors!
If it were not for those who continualy stand before you offering the same reminders then you would forget the things of God...because the flesh does not like to remember!!!
How my heart breaks for those I have spoken with and helped through the years when I know that most have forgoten the grace of God.
Indeed our own forgetfulness is one of our greatest enemies.
In the world are the many dangers which exist, which prevent our divine true self to come forth from the world and dwell in God's household with Jesus. Take it from me, I know fully the truth of this, for the world has beaten me black and blue with their scorn and foolish bitterness.
How can love grow within the heart full of hellbore. It is not possible.
When we come to care for the condition of our true divine loving self (our soul), we learn that we need to nurture and protect it with truthfulness and tender love.
The world has may claws of the wild beast which are able to ignite fires within us, causing us to become likeminded with the world. Jesus extinguishes these fires within us completely, but it is we who must guard against the ways of the world, by means of seeing the truth in all things.
In all things a person does or says, exists one of two things...that which is without the profit of love, and that which is of the profit of God's love.
In order for our divine true self to remain full of the loving zeal, we must learn how to nurture and protect it from harm. We must take charge of this responsibility, lest we fall into the claws of the wild beasts and be devoured and trampled apon.
The soul which embraces anger and bitterness, becomes derranged on account of the heavey bitterness. To participate in such behaviour is foolish and will bring harm to our divine true self. We are members of God's household, and Jesus is our brother. At all times do and speak as though Jesus is standing in your presence, for truly I tell that Jesus is indeed standing in your presence.
Be pleasing to God, by doing God's work, for your sake of the condition of your divine true self, you are to do these things.
When you do things which are loving, you are the loving kindness of love in the world. It is these things which keep Jesus alive in the world as you are his living legacy.
When you cause the world to be more loving, in turn others become loving as well, and love continues to build up in the world.
This is how the kingdom of heaven is to come fully to this world, where we are always in the presence of Jesus who loves us completely and is compassionate for those yet lost, and led astray by all the wickedness of the world.
At birth we are the divine true self, in a state of bliss. I was surprised to know that I never cryed as a child, until I was two years old.
As we come forth in the world, we begin to learn all the ways of the world which teaches us. Many are the insatiable foolish desires which enslave our hearts into captivity, making us slaves by means of the blind ignorance.
It is Jesus who comes to break the chains of these bitter and dark places, by means of the pure and perfect light of truth and love which reveals the foolishness of all these things.
For when our hearts do not leave room for love, then love is not able to grow within us, and our divine true selve begins to drift further and further away from us.
I am fortunate to have found loving soul's in the world, such as those who exist at this forum, for without, I surely would not be able to remember my divine true loving self I once was. I have only recently been awakened, and now take responsibility for my loving heart, and protect it from harm. I nurture my loving heart with the truthfulness of love I see in others hearts, as well as the obvious bitterness which exist in those yet in the world.
While I do not associate with those yet in the world for too long, they still serve God, by means of the truth which we are able to see clearly, of what not to become.
In everyone is the requirement for them to first enter as a child, and then grow strong in the ways of our loving bother Jesus, for this is the way the divine true self within us is able to remain alive...to always walk in love with Jesus in the kingdom of heaven within you and all around you.
Jesus loves you!
Andy
