man 100 posts, i can't believe i have actually stuck with this thing and im more amazed that people actually read this thing.
i am starting a new thing in my life trusting God with who I am and not with my effort so i've done something crazy that some people will laugh at and others will freak out about.
But im into symbolism, big time. God used symbolism to clearly express to people what He wanted them to know and understand about Himself.
well i did that yesterday. new area, new outlook on grace and life, and a dedication to depend on God (almost seems like a contradiction, striving to depend on God...)
but enough of that what to write about in my 100th post. I will leave you with some advice that i received from my parents that somehow works. They have told it to 3 people 2 of them are now married with kids and 1 is plannin to get married.
its also in the book true faced.
"we can't wait for perfect people before we trust people"
no one is perfect its true. My mom and dad tell singles that seem to be struggling to find that "one" this information.
Quit trying to find the perfect mate, because when you do you usually push away the ones that actually care and love you.
people aren't perfect they are flawed, however as im learning you can't look at saved people as sinners.
it gives you a reason to reject and not love them. if you see them as a sinner they will dissapoint and sin and you will reject them. if you see them as a saint they sin and you sympathize with them you care and want to keep them accountable.
how do we look at ourself? how do we view others? is it the same way that God looks at them and us?
if you ask yourselves those questions you might find out more about yourself than what you bargained for.
pray that God will allow me to see people as he does and that i will realize that i am no longer a sinner but a saint because of the overpowering, underserving grace of God through Jesus Christ. And should live like a saint depending upon God in every part of my life.
Love you guys and thanks for reading this and caring about my life. It truly means alot.
God bless
i'm out
