It is something I REALLY needed to hear. I, too, carry a LOAD and always will. I am also thankful that God is there to help me with that LOAD. What a blessing it is that we serve the same God! It makes the connection between people all that closer...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08916222525362110550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8418699835661672587.post-20702860461296343412011-04-20T10:04:38.243-05:002011-04-20T10:04:38.243-05:00What an encouraging and motivating blog you have p...What an encouraging and motivating blog you have posted today. Nothing but truth, truth, truth. As you say there is no new revelation from God here. The message is the same as it has always been. The "newness" is the application of His love for me in my life. Why does it take so long for some things to soak in! God has really been "coming alive" in me for some time now. I have had the head knowledge you talk about in the blog but He has brought it down to my heart in the past 3-4 years. He has placed a LOAD on my heart that only He could use to mature me and those around me. The hurt/suffering, love/joy that has produced the maturing of me in Him could have been gained in no better way, of course His ways are perfect. <br /> You are correct when you say life isn't all about me, it's all about God. However I believe life is all about what I do and how I respond to Him. It is about me but it is <b>ALL</b> about Him. <br /> The statement about "fill my love cup" made me think. I do want my love cup filled, not with self-love but with my love for Him. His love for me overflows my cup. As the song says "I'm drinking from my saucer because my cup has overflowed". <br /> As I read, meditate, pray and somewhat try to grasp the meaning of the "big" words you used in the first paragraph, I see how awesome God is. One day I realized I can't make God love me any more than He already does and the other side is I can't make Him love me any less. What an awesome God we serve. <br /> The LOAD He has placed on me continues and always will. I know He is in control, He wants what is best for me and all those involved. He knows exactly how to accomplish His plan. Praise God for that. Once I realize and hold on to that truth, I am so glad I am NOT in control. All mighty God is!<br /> Rick Thomas and you continue to be a blessing that God has put in to my life. Keep up the good work. Your service is appreciated.BOHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15578022021667279482noreply@blogger.com
