Mark, some time on another group, you wrote to me on one of my posts.
I was doing testimonials I always started with the bit about Jesus is
my water and bread and my life and may these words be aceptabele to
you my Savior and my Lord Jesus....and may the Spirit of truth find me
where I am not in discord or anger where the Spirit of truth only
leaves me behind in the darkness.
and I remember you said it was silly of me to say these words as
intro, even as I saw them as necessary for what I wrote , it was a
thing I needed...to do
but I listened to you then and I guess for the most part I stopped
doing them, beause you said they were silly
yet recently I saw you say that the true Christians were those who saw
Christ as I did, professing him to be my water bread and my life.
It is that way you know
He is you know
and it was good to see you say that, even though you had mocked me for
that at one time before.
I am dropping by here.
I am droppping by and making comment to you, not to condemn you to
hell or say you are wrong or any of these things....
I say you are a Son of God
and know this---
I do have family squabbles
with you
with Griz
with the building crew
but over time
if we are being true to our walk in Christ
Jesus who gave us so much
I mean so much
in time
we give up of ourselves
and give to him
yes?
and I say this now
to you
as me being one who has more or less walked away from this group
over the hurt feelings and expressions of
diviseness and rejection
you have likewise
expressed in your posts
but have asked Jesus what does he want?
What do you suppose he wants?
He wants his name and his life and his hope lifted up
I sure know this
past all of my hurt feelings and stuff
I only know this
I don't always know that I am right
and I don't always know that I am wrong
but I know what Jesus gave me
and whatever happens
whatever hurt
whatever wrong
give it to Jesus
I did
and it makes it so very wrong for me to hurt
I end this by saying you might well think this is Kryshtian lite
Jesus told me to love
He gave me love
He taught me God's love truly before I could love Him
and this is how I honor Him
I love
and
curiously He lets me still be me
You asked me then to stop saying Jesus is my bread and my water and my
life
You said it was lite...
I say these flames of yours are lite
I know there are far deeper waters in you
greater tributes to Jesus in you
much greater
and now I ask you
what you asked of me
don't take or make Jesus lite
Yours in Christ
Christine
