we have to share we have to care...right down to our underwear...joy for life and joy in Jesus...because we know he'll never leave us...pick up our cross and carry on...the promised land will not be long...onward Christians...soldier on... we armor up...the game is on...with our king who's by our side the coming of the dawn...the glory is His we try to see...we are trying to live like him, and he is here with me...Dave...
AS WE BEGIN OUR LIFE JOURNEY, JESUS IS OUR BEGINNING, AND HE WILL BE WITH US TO THE GLORY OF HEAVEN...SPIRITUAL ACCEPTANCE GIVES WAY TO PRACTICAL AND EARTHLY ACCEPTANCE...THROUGH JESUS, WE NO LONGER SEE OTHERS AS COMPETITIVE OR UNWORTHY...WE ACCEPT THEM FOR WHO THEY ARE AND LOVE AND PRAY FOR THEM AS MUCH AS WE ARE ABLE..THE FACTS OF LIFE MELD WITH THE FACTS OF DEATH IN JESUS...THE CROSS LIFE IS NOT A BURDEN, BUT A BOUNTY OF GRACE AND MERCY...I BELIEVE JESUS TOLD US HE WOULD NEVER PUT MORE ON US THAN WE CAN HANDLE, SO THE TRUE BELIEVER WOULD HAVE SOME EXTRA BURDENS TO TAKE FROM SOMEONE WHO WAS IN NEED...IT IS WRITTEN HE WOULD ALSO GIVE US A WAY OUT...IT IS OBVIOUS TO ME THAT IS NOT A RIDDLE...JESUS IS ALWAYS THE WAY OUT...JOBS TRIALS WERE NOT SO HEAVY THAT HE COULD NOT GET THROUGH THEM WITH HIS KNOWLEDGE OF TRUE FAITH IN GOD...HE ACCEPTED WHATEVER THE DEVIL BROUGHT...HE DID QUESTION GOD'S MOTIVES, BUT NEVER DENIED HIM...NAKED I CAME AND NAKED I WILL RETURN...GOD'S PLAN IS PERFECT...WE ACCEPT EVERYTHING WE ARE GIVEN AT THE BEGINNING OF EACH DAY...WE CAN BE UNITED IN PURPOSE...PRAISE, LOVE, SERVICE...WE REPENT, ASK FORGIVENESS, AND WORSHIP EVERY NIGHT...WE ARE THE LIGHTS IN THE DARKNESS FOR ALL MANKIND...WE ACCEPT IT IS NOT ABOUT RELIGION...WE HAVE BEEN ACCEPTED INTO THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST...OUR RELATIONSHIP IS THAT OF KING AND SERVANT AND ALSO OF BROTHER AND CHILDREN OF GOD OUR FATHER...ACCEPTANCE GIVES US THE FREEDOM AND JOY TO EMBRACE OTHERS AS FAMILY AND LEAD THEM TO THE TRUTH OF JESUS...NOT ALL WILL GO AND WE ACCEPT THAT ALSO...I BELIEVE CARNAL AND SPIRITUAL ACCEPTANCE MUST WORK TOGETHER AND BOTH ARE OF EXTREME IMPORTANCE BEFORE WE CAN MOVE ON TO THE NEXT PART OF OUR JOURNEY OF GRACE, MERCY, AND GOD'S NEVER CHANGING AND BOUNDLESS LOVE FOR US ALL...ACCEPTANCE IS A PERSONAL CHOICE...CHOOSE WELL...CHOOSE JESUS...I DO...TBOD
