the Son died to give us new life, by grace of God, and to this the Spirit testifies.
where exactly did i read that verse? T_T
my previous entry was a jumble of thoughts. maybe not very coherent and so not very edifying. i think what i really wanted to get across was... there is that still small voice calling... some of us are still lost, others yet still being fashioned, others weaning, and others ready to respond to that horn calling in the distance. but as i was listening to the radio, i was called to remember what the focus is. the focus is not, "what can i do for God?" but, "what can the Spirit enable me to do for God, and will i do it?" i ask this partially in response to my own place in my walk: am i ready to go out? i don't know if that's my place yet...
not that the works we do define our faith. our faith is based on the trust we have that God in His grace sent His son, and by that we are saved. and He has sent His spirit to be with us, to intercede, to fill us up with God's good things, enable us for God's work. and i read that God is love, and we especially have come in tune with it. and now we can't help but share it. but in sharing it, what is the focus of it...?
anyway, just a thought from yesterday that i thought i'd finally clear up with myself. ha ha. and now i'm late for work.
75 I know, O LORD, that your laws are righteous,
and in faithfulness you have afflicted me.
76 May your unfailing love be my comfort,
according to your promise to your servant.
Psalm 119:75-76
94 Save me, for I am yours;
I have sought out your precepts.
95 The wicked are waiting to destroy me,
but I will ponder your statutes.
96 To all perfection I see a limit;
but your commands are boundless.
Psalm 119:94-96
