When understanding comes to a standstill and have no clue on how about to grow more mature in faith, What do you do? faith in action, taming the tongue, grace, forgive you enemies, trust, patience, slow to anger, and so on. All work in progress. It seems that I lack something, but I do not know what it is.

dose anyone have any suggestions?

All of us can say that it is a blessing when our LORD and FATHER allows good things in our live. But when the bad thing are allowed, and the things that are precious to us are striped away, can we than consider that to be a blessing?

Keep strong, dig deep the roots, so when the time comes, we will not fall. Let us not fail the test that are given to us by our LORD, GOD and FATHER.

To be at the bottom of the pit, one can see and feel the pit up close and in full detail. As appose of looking at it from a distant and claiming to see and understand how it must be. Can we truly say we understand when we haven't even gone though it ourselves?

Judge not what we do not fully understand, nether claim to understand the things we have not gone through.

Cherish what you have, take it not for granted. For you will not understand its value until it is taken away.

Upon questioning myself of my services unto the LORD, I find that I lack a great deal, physically and spiritually.

Can one really let go of all things and concerns to this world, not just the physical, but also the emotional part of oneself?

Can one have faith enough to let go of everything and put their trust in the LORD, believing that all things will be provided so-long as one faithfully fallows in service?

upon these questions, I have examined deeply the most inner part of my heart and soul and have come to the conclusion that at this point in time, even-tho I would like to, I can not! Because I lack in spiritual strength and I have many thorns to pluck out of my flesh.

I have come to realize that if I wish to serve the LORD that which is pleasing unto HIM, I must first refocus, reexamine, and dedicate myself in devotion to cleans myself of most of the impurities of the spirit as possible, so as to walk the righteous path without being ashamed in the LORDS presence.

My temptations have become a great burden upon me, and my strength has been weekend to the point where I can barely withstand. I fear that I might lose focus of what is really important and precious in life. therefore I sincerely ask of my brothers and sisters in CHRIST, if you are willing, please pray for me in my walk, as I am in dire need of spiritual strength to overcome my weaknesses, both physically and spiritually.

May we not lose the love that the LORD have set in our hearts, and may we never forget that we must also do the same as the LORD has show us to do. Amen!

As I thought I was growing, the LORD made me realized that I was just still an infant.

As I thought I was strong, the LORD made me understand that HE is the source of my strength.

As I thought I needed wealth, the LORD says be patient and HE will provide.

As I thought I understood love, the LORD says there are much more than I can comprehend.

So many questions asked, but all leads to the same thing. I have come to not only understand, but also know deep in my heart, that all mans works good and bad on this earth is meaningless, except the services unto our LORD. But yet, the temptations of the things of this world constantly whispers in my ear, calling me to pursue the things that would eventually lead me away from my dedication unto what is righteous. As much as I'd like to avoid it, there is no denying the fact that I am constantly sinning.

And thus I am reminded that no matter how much I have sinned, the LORD forgives and still loves and provides for my needs. So then, I must too, forgive those of whom have sinned against me and do good to those I would not.

When I think about sin, it frustrates me intently. For as much as I try not to, I somehow end up sinning, whether it is small or big, simple or complex. I find it hard to be pleased with myself while walking in the light knowing that I have so much to overcome.

upon evaluations myself, I find that I am one amongst the week, not being able to give up the flesh completely, is a snare that has held me back, rendering me unable to move forwards. Thus distancing myself from the LORD and HIS LOVE.

I thought I have given up a lot, but at the end their are much more to let go than I realized. To commit oneself to the LORDS service, one must truly pic up the cross and fallow HIM.

Now the question that remains is, am I willing and ready to do so. Now that is a question to answer!

This is what I have come know. "With understanding comes much sorrow"

In my weaknesses, I have fallen into temptations once again. The thorn of the world have caught me and pierced my flesh and wounded me. I've stumbled and fell, I had become lost in the world once again. Surely I have fallen into a pit, But the LORDS GRACE and MERCY have saved me from myself. For each time I fall and stumble, The LORD picks me up, brushes off the dust and carries me back to the path that HE has set for me. For each time I fail or go astray, the LORD guides me back to HIS RIGHTUSNESS, He has not left me nor forsaken me fore my sins and failure of the flesh. HIS LOVE, GRACE and MERCY, prevails in my weaknesses and is always there to embrace my fall. For every time I fall, the LORD strengthens me and makes me stronger than I was before. I praise our LORD and FATHER, and I give glory and honor to HIM because HE is always there for me no matter how many times I have dishonored and disgraced HIS NAME. HE has reminded me that I should never forget that I must not only love but also fear HIM in all my days that I shall walk upon this earth. It is said that wisdom comes from the fear of the LORD. I pray, that the LORD will never take this love and fear away from me, for the fear of displeasing and dishonoring the LORD is what keeps me walking a straight path. I praise the LORD and FATHER, in my weaknesses, for in those times, the LORD has made me stronger. HIS LOVE, MERCY, and GRACE, never fails, even-tho I have sinned against HIM. I pray, in time I may also learn to show love, grace and mercy to others as the LORD has shown unto me.

Praise the LORD our FATHER, for HIS LOVE, GRACE and MERCY, shall never fail us in our times of need. Amen!

The LORD have blessed me with the understanding of love, which is the source of my strength, so that I may carry on in this world. With love, I am able to bare the many great burdens in life that used to drag me down. Love, it is what allowed me to grow spiritually, and mentally strong. It is the corner stone of which I try constantly to build upon, the foundation on my faith. Love, it is what I fear of losing the most, for without it, I have nothing that is of value. With love, comes great knowledge, understanding and wisdom. Seeing though the eyes of love, I was able to see the truth of who I was and the world for what it really is. Great wisdom comes from love, "GOD IS LOVE" love him, and the LORD will allow you to understand love.

I pray, O LORD, that you will never take this love that you have set within my heart, take it not away from me, but rather increase in it, so that I may draw nearer to YOUR truth. Amen...

In my search for spiritual growth, I read the bible. But because the LORD had hid HIS WORDS from me, so I understood little. In my search for wisdom, the wise pointed to understanding. In my search for understanding, I found questions. In my search for righteousness, I try to discipline myself in the law. But that proved to be more than I could chew. In my search to understand the truth in love, I found only impurities and flaws. In my search to control fear, fear controlled me. In my search for peace, I found chaos. In my search for HEAVEN, the law found me to be unworthy. In my search for wealth, GOD has other plans. In my search for sanity, insanity replied in return. In all my searching in my life, all was futile, all was in vain, because I was depending on myself.  

All I needed to search for, was GODS LOVE, and because of that reason, the LORD has allowed me to understand what true love is. Because I understand love, all that I was searching for were made possible through the LORDS our GOD.

            &nb sp;                         &nb sp;   Love the LORD above all else, and you will find what you are looking for.

      The LORD reveals what are hidden to those which seeks with sincerity to them that are willing to places HIM above all.

The LORD has put it in my heart to share this. A friend on cc.com wanted me to answer her question, she asked me if I knew why JESUS washed HIS disciples feet. She also asked me to pray for understanding before answering the question. Now, I probable read and heard this many times before, but I never really understood what JESUS meant until know. I find it so interesting that something so plainly said by JESUS, but yet I did not understand. The thing that came to mind was, the LORD GOD have hid these things from the wise. No, I'm not claiming to be wise nor educated, GOD knows that I'm not. I'm just saying that the LORD can hide the true meaning of HIS WORDS, so that we would not understand in depth, and in full details what it really is. I guess what I'm trying to say is that we should pray honestly and sincerely before we even start to read the bible. For the one and true teacher is the LORD GOD, and though the HOLLY SPIRIT, it is revealed unto us.

GOD BLESS her, for she has washed my feet. And I pray that by the LORDS WILL that I may be able to do the same to others. Amen!

I find it sad waking up each day to see people going about their lives, seeking fortune and fame. Thinking that what they have, is what they have worked so hard fore, believing that their knowledge and wisdom is through their educational achievements. I find myself feeling compassion for the less fortunate, for the rich, for non believers and the believes. Many of us are lost, blinded from the truth of the word of the LORD because of the things of the world and the hardness of our hearts.

If we have faith, we should do the deeds, because faith without deeds are meaningless. Have compassion and also give grace, if we have compassion and not grace, it too is meaningless.

If we deemed ourselves better that others, we are far from the truth. If we say that we can no longer grow no further in faith, we deceive ourselves. If we think we can not learn from others, we don't understand wisdom. If we think we are in control of our lives, we do not know GOD. What we have, is what the FATHER has given, and what we do not have, is because the LORD has allowed it to be. Accept what we have and also what we do not have, because all things are given and taken away because it is GODS WILL.

Let our joy become sadness, let our laughter become tears and let our praises be unto the LORD and FATHER, for HE gives and takes away and is in control of everything in this world. THY WILL BE DONE. Amen!

GOD BLESS! to those of whom GOD has given to understand. GODS GRACE to those who do not.
