Subject: so you wish to try living for the Lord,?

As jesus grows inside of you more and more,
old self will become less and less,

When one is first saved they think the world is their
own individual oyster. and they feel so high and mighty ,
they set themselves up as judges of others, all about them,
then somethingwill happen which causes them to reevaluate
their own spirituality and you find it lacking in substance,
finding it to be a selfish and fullof vanity relationship , it is all
self ,self self, it seems and noone can live up to your standards.
that you have imposed upon others all around you....,

Some have been in judgment of others, for so long, that they
have gone,thouroughly convinced they are the ones who is
elected to save the world.,convinced themselves that they alone
are worthy of the Lord and that none no-where is serving him,
doing as he said to do, like ;"Keep my command-ments "(but
it seems tht some have forgotten Jesus eleventh commandment)
then he added the one ..

"Love thou one another ,as I (Jesus )have loved you, "then he
even made a promise to go along with that one, "You can tell
.'who' is a follower, by the love they have for one another." Have
you kept 'al'l of these?

I think we have all been that one at one time or another. we are
prone to judge our brothers and sisters.instead of simply living the
sanctified life before them each and every day of of our lives.,we
are to love them unconditionally ,not only for your brothers and sisters,
but for all mankind, no matter who they are.

Indeed it is an easy thing, loving those who brag on you, all of the time,,
but when someone has a microscope,and 'you 'are in their "sight"example
for each and every thing you write,or say or do, or go, then you feel as if
your brother is trying to be your father,guardian or instructor,uninvited..we all
earn at different rates , so do not ever try to force feed scripture-meat,
to a child on milk of the word. you will choke them and dishearten them. they
just may give up in their faith, trying to please you a man.or a woman,
insteadof The Holy Spirit.

think aboutthis and watch yourelf around the young child of God,they are like
the human child of man, they want to 'grow up too fast" but they must not,
miss any of the stages of growth in the lord. this is a life long journey you are
on, when you start with God, it is a life-long trip ,stay in the race until you win,

Your Heavenly Father, why He is never as rough on you, as some of your
sisters and brothers try to be, he truly loves and will show you when a
wrong occurs, he will also remind you of it, and if forgivness is not sought,
he shall get yourattention ,so best you keep a check on self, yourself.too,
and if a brother or sister is adament about something ,wrong you are into
they will let you know in gentleness and in privacy,(so as not ot embarass you),
you might even be unaware ofthis hateful sin, 'never will a 'real' child of God
embarrass a dear to him or her sister or brother,, in front of friends......never.

You are not a stupid person, you are a child of God, so act like royalty.You,
the child of the King of kings. if you have been a follower of the Lord very
long you shall 'know 'when a wrong happens, get forgivness then. and if you
have live for a long while now without finding a wrong..better do a self check,
because sin could be showing up in your life unaware

Pray for God to show you daily,if there be something to change.,
follow His leading and God will bless you with much fruit to hold out to this
hungry(for God) world............loosen up live ,love and be happy..in the Lord
