Something to Think About

Jesus walked in the spiritual realm all the time. His eyes were always focused on His Father. Everything He said and did was according to what the Father wanted. Can we as humasn walk in the spiritual realm? What would it be like? Would we be setting ourselves apart from the world? Jesus told us we were to live in the world but not to be of the world. If we found a way to walk spiritually would we be labeled as fanatics? Holier than thou? How do we turn our lives around so that we live Christ daily? To anger and not sin? That's a hard one for me. To have my home a place where no unkind word is spoken, gossip is never part of our speech, and prayer is our mainstay. I get upset with myself when I blow up and get angry. How do I accept God's hand in my life knowing He might never heal me? He tells me He will not give me more than I can handle. My anger builds up and I react to how I feel, not on what Christ says to be true. That is the wrong way to look at it. I need to look at my health problems as a blessing from God. I might not know the purpose behind it, and God might never reveal it to me, but I need to be content no matter what. Oh that word, CONTENT. I have not been content for some time now. Again it all goes back to how I feel, not on reality.

Now, if Christ lives within me, I should be able to live according to the Christian life. So what am doing wrong? I have become like the world and taken for granted the life that was given to me.I keep confessing the same sin over and over again.

Love, it all comes down to love. Christ loved, Christ gave. If we could grasp that internally, our lives would change. How could they not? Our belief system has suffered greatly. We wait for a miracle that might never happen. We wait for a sign that might never take place. We wait to hear the audible voice of God, which we might never hear. We say, if He loved us, He would........" Then the light comes on and we realize that He did give out of His love for us. Everything we could ever want or need was given to us when Christ went to the cross. We come to His table and there He communes with us. There we find our healing. There we find our rest. There we find the peace that passes all understanding. This is the summation of Love.
