Who Is Your....?

[GraftMeIn]

Who is your Commander and Chief?

What Characteristics does a Commander and Chief have?

Does a Commander and Chief bend the rules in order to make you happy, or do they expect you to follow the rules?

Does a Commander and Chief worry about someone being offended by the rules?

Do you have a rule book given by your Commander and Chief?

Should you read and study the rule book?

Should you follow the rules, or should you just follow the ones that you like, and forget about the ones you don't like?

Isaiah 55:4
Behold, I have given him for a witness to the people, a leader and commander to the people.

I Peter 5:4
And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.

The Commander and Chief of my life is Jesus, my rule book is the Bible. I hope the same holds true for anyone reading this thread.

Yes a Commander Who will lead us not into temptation but will DELIVER US from evil. A commander Who will Who will shepherd and pastor us and supply our needs so that we will have no want. A Commander Who will give us green pastures to lie down in beside the still waters. A commander Who will refresh us and restore our very souls and lead us in the paths of righteousness. And even when we walk through the valley of the shadow of death, we will not be fearful because this Commander is WITH us. We will have no need for weapons for His rod and His staff will give us comfort and give us ease. This Commander will prepare a table before us in the very presence of our enemies, and anoint our heads with oil and our cup will run over. His goodness and mery will follow us all our lives and we shall dwell in His house FOREVER! What a commander! What a Saviour!

I feel to add these 'letters'
___________________________________________________________

Dear Commander and Chief of Spiritual Armed Forces:

I am writing to request a transfer to a desk job. I herewith present my reasons:

I began my career as a private, but because of the intensity of the battle You have quickly moved me up in the ranks. You have made me an officer and given me a tremendous amount of responsibility. There are many soldiers and recruits under my charge. I am constantly begging called upon to dispense wisdom, make judgments, and find solutions to complex problems. You have placed me in a position to function as an officer, when in my heart I know I have only the skills of a private. I realize that you have promised to supply all I would need for the battle. But Sir, I must present you a realistic picture of my equipment. My uniform, once so crisp and starched, is now stained with tears and blood of those I have tried to assist. The soles of my boots are cracked and worn from the miles I have walked trying to enlist and encourage the instructed troops. My weapons are marred, tarnished and chipped from constant battle against the enemy. Even the Book of Regulations I was issued has been torn and tattered from endless use. The words are now smeared. You have promised You would be with me throughout, but when the noise of the battle is so loud and the confusion is so great, I can neither see nor hear you, Sir. I feel so alone. I am so tired! I’m discouraged and I have Battle Fatigue. I would never ask you for a discharge. I love being in Your service. But I humbly request a demotion and transfer. I’ll file papers or clean latrines. Just get me out of the battle - please, Sir.

Your Faithful but Tired Soldier.

Dear Faithful but Tired Soldier on the Battlefield:

Your request for transfer has been denied. I herewith present My reasons:

You are needed in this battle. I have selected you, and I will keep My Word to supply your need. You do not need a demotion and transfer. (You’d never cut it on latrine duty.) You need a period of "R and R" -- Renewal and Rekindling. I am setting aside a place on the battlefield that is insulated from all sound and fully protected from the enemy. I will meet you there and I will give you rest. I will remove your old equipment and "make all things new."

You have been wounded in the battle, My soldier. Your wounds are not visible, but you have received grave internal injuries. You need to be healed. I will heal you. You have been weakened in the battle. You need to be strengthened. I will strengthen you and be your strength. I will instill in you confidence and ability. My Words will rekindle within you a renewed love, zeal and enthusiasm. Report to Me tattered and empty. I will refill you.

Compassionately,

Your Commander-in-Chief,
Jesus Christ

Thanks for all the responses everyone. Love the story you added Altya. Wow don't we all feel that way at times lol! makes me think of this scripture.


2 Timothy 2:3
Thou therefore endure hardship, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.

Yeah! I think we all can relate to those letters!
