Think that may be my signature, "Foolish and giddy for Christ". It's a shame more aren't experiences the joys of that.
I pray that each and everyone of you will eventually be captivated by his love and become fools for Him. In your name Lord I pray. Pursue them until you've captured them by your love.
Ok, think that truly is all i have to say today. Continue on the OP and forgive me for going off topic. I'm like a mother lion protecting her cubs. The love of God compels me, foolish ss that maybsee
When you have encounters with God, He can send you to hell and back and you know it is all filtered through his love.
The love of God is not human love. It overwhelms you and so solidly implants itself in you.
I can't boast about it. He decided to take this gal as a child that didn't have all her knowledge and ducks in order, but wanted to know Him. and reveal Himself to her.
I hear ya. At 31 i accomplished all i wanted to in life. Great career. Nice home, dream car, good life, and i know He helped me. But when i did i said Lord, it's all just stuff, not that i was not happy in my own way, but I've tasted of his life, drank from his love and knew there was so much more. So i said take all my desires and will that are not in line with yours and do with my life as you see fit.
Can i tell you, before things were easy, to a degree, just a prayer and some good ole preserversnce. Right after that prayer it was like all --- broke loose on me and nothing worked as it did before, until I was immobile in my bed from the storm, broken from my own strength, and telling God i can't do anything without Him.
In me i knew He was saying, now I got you where i want to. I'll give you what you want, but if you are going to be of use to me, it's my way where no flesh glories in my presence.
That was the beginning of an incredible, personal spiritual revival. He was showing off to me in a good sense, like look what your daddy can do, and He was moving and it was so fast, took me off guard more than once. And He's funny. What awaited me on the other side made the journey there truly a light affliction in comparison.
Now I'm farther along in my journey and I don't care much about myself anymore, or being used of Him, or any of that. I just grieve for humanity, as He does too. I'm sharing in his sufferings and He loves that.
Off topic from the OP, but wanted to respond to you
I'm still trying to decipher who is a Christian and who is not. Helps to know who speaks your language and may need to switch lingos of needed for understanding.
But I've said enough tonight and quite a bit off the OP, so I'm done for tonight. God bless you

If that is a yes, welcome to the glorious fools club brother, or is it sister?I don't feel like I should have to dignify/justify this question with a response.
I am most definitely still a Christian despite knowing almost all of the whole truth that Jesus died to give us, etc.
But many of you might not be if you more fully knew. I don't think very many of you would survive or make it through the whole process without giving up on your faith before you got through it all, or came out the other side of it all, etc. Many of you do not truly know him or Them, etc. You think you do, but you do not, etc. You know almost next to nothing about any of any of their stories, etc. To get that you have to pass through death and darkness and shadow and flame, and come out of the other side of it still fully intact, or unscathed, etc, And you people don't know anything about that either, etc. But I'm actually trying to make it a whole heck of a lot easier for you here, etc.
God Bless.
