Super SCATTERED thoughts

It is SO hard when you are so analytical by nature as I am. Thoughts coming to mind ....often times scripture.....that make me wonder....why I am not a more loving and more gracious person.......towards those I profess to love and also towards them that are difficult to love.
That is the fruit of the Spirit........and if we have been given "everything pertaining to life and godliness" we should be capable of loving others......right?
Ozzie's devo today talked about going to the funeral of self.......think that's necessary for all of us.
If there remains a carnal nature in us, where things of this world threaten to crowd out what matters most as the Lord sees it....He's going to put it to death in us, and it's going to hurt.

Being reminded last night by a dear brother that believing and treasuring Jesus is how I am saved, not by what I do.......and to stop analyzing what I'm doing, to just soak up the word and God will bear the fruit in my life. Eternal fruit, not just the pretend kind that so often times I've been satisfied with........the half hearted good deeds, and the external rightness of conduct....but obeying the gospel better than the pharisees - from a heart that Loves and trusts God my Father. *sigh*

Every now and again, I come across a song that just bombards my little heart giving me a better, more God centered view of this life.

I was just introduced to the song by Aaron Jeoffrey called "He Is" in October, and bought the CD a week or so ago. You have to hear how the music really communicates the power of the offices and work of Christ Jesus throughout the books of the bible.....but whew...if you know your old testament, you'll be on your knees-a-weeping in adoration of our Great High Priest.

And when time is no more
He is, HE IS
