I stand amazed, again, in the presence of the Lord!
I truly believe He IS... that He is in control, and has a purpose and plan for each person. That his Word, the Bible, is our guideline for all of life. Like Mom Gulley used to tell me all the time.. "Well, What Does THE Book say?" "I could tell you wrong."
The Bible, that is God's word to us about everything.
That being said.... here is the "Meandering".. hahaha
I also believe that God will use his Word for our correction, like any good Father.
I believe he can and does use people at times to sand off our rough edges and things that we are doing/saying that disappoint Him, or grieve the Holy Spirit.
Those people might come in the form of a Christian, non-Christian, family member, friend, neighbor, co-worker.. etc.
I would even go so far as to say, He will even use the "useable" to post things on Facebook that, at any particular moment, can be used there also. He can challenge, correct, and point in the right direction in the most unusual ways! That is our Amazing God & Father..
IF as a child we are Open & "willing" to keep it simple, and look into the mirror of correction and say.. "yes, that is me!" God can and will do wonders in our lives. It might just be some character flaw.. or maybe a sour relationship... but either way God does mean for us to "change" in some manner. He asks us to be transformed by the *renewing* our minds,(changing) our 'thinking' about something, or someone to line up with Him & His thinking about his creation.. life.. living.. being.
IF in some instances there is more... like doing an apology... do it... because apologizing does NOT mean... you are wrong and they are right.. but it does mean that you 'value' your relationship with someone more than your ego.
via... Facebook... hahaha
Things to Give up to be Happy...
1. Give up your need .. to always be right.
2. Give up your need .. for control.
3. Give up on .. blame.
4. Give up .. your self-defeating self-talk.
5. Give up .. limited belief in God & good.
6. Give up .. complaining.
7. Give up .. the luxury of criticism.
8. Give up .. your need .. to impress others.
9. Give up .. your resistance .. to change.
10. Give up .. labels.
11. Give up .. your fears.
12. Give up .. your excuses.
13. Give up .. the past.
14. Give up .. attachment.
15. Give up .. living your life to people's expectations.. but.. do aim to please God.
Surely some wisdom there... (for when we have God's favor we stand in favor with people too)and that person thought they were being clever in posting that.. like as tho "my" Father did not know of my need, and possible running into trouble.
Amazing God, Amazing Love, Amazing Grace
