More About Listening

Prayer is more about listening, allowing the
heart to grow in its ability to embrace God's love,
and then loving others-BrMD​

We should all ask what we can do for God when we pray not what he can do for us. We are the servants.

Well said.......once we listen, we know.

 

[Arc F1]

Well said.......once we listen, we know.

I start out every day asking what I can do. Very rarely do I ever ask anything for myself just for others. This life and the chance at an even better one is all anyone could ever ask for. I am thankful and grateful. If I'm found not worthy on judgment day I will apologize and take my punishment without complaint.

Only those who chose with total freedom will be lost. Those in hell would not abide being in God's presence, hell is of their own making. Jesus came to save us from ourselves, not from some wrathful, fallen man like diety.

Have you ever considered this :
Thus says the LORD: "Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his strength, whose heart turns away from the LORD. -Jeremiah 17:5
He is like a shrub in the desert, and shall not see any good come. He shall dwell in the parched places of the wilderness, in an uninhabited salt land. -Jeremiah 17:6

What do you think ?

What do you think ?

I agree. Without trust in the Lord we have nothing. Man can't save you or give you everlasting life.

Arc F1,
When you hear the above verse, you should know that the Lord is asking you to rely on His strength to keep His commandments.

That is why this is written after Jeremiah 17:5-6, in Jeremiah 17:7:

"Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, whose trust is the LORD. -Jeremiah 17:7

What is He asking you to trust ? Is it not His strength ?
