And yes, it is impossible for man, but not for God.L https://www.blogger.com/profile/04903967140464360127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2112872706536660084.post-33758516147920398192012-07-18T07:20:42.631-07:002012-07-18T07:20:42.631-07:00Hi Lyn,
"Blessed are the overcomers"
Y...Hi Lyn,<br /><br />"Blessed are the overcomers"<br /><br />You are right, I know that over time the Lord has changed me...and I see more clearly the things that He does not approve of in MYSELF (instead of only seeing those things in others like I have to sadly admit comes much more easily to me).<br /><br />To be "less prone to being 'thin-skinned'" YES! That is what's needed exactly. To recognize, with Jesus: "Father forgive them FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO".<br /><br />They do not have a clue about what they are doing, they do not see themselves as the Lord sees them. They are to be pitied and not hated. I need to remind myself of this every day, no, every hour! ;)Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00498627087140234765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2112872706536660084.post-2252980583449967672012-07-18T07:15:35.818-07:002012-07-18T07:15:35.818-07:00So true, Ma.

We continue to try, and our flesh continues to fail us, but Jesus is LONGsuffering, and He is our only hope :)Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00498627087140234765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2112872706536660084.post-13960834080733316272012-07-18T06:01:08.332-07:002012-07-18T06:01:08.332-07:00How true sister, I am in the same boat with you. W...How true sister, I am in the same boat with you. We will continue to be tested in this area until we pass the test. I am telling you the truth, people today are as hateful as they could possibly be. No one speaks on the streets, people in the workplace are very cross with one another and have nothing good to say about others. I have struggled with looking past all that and seeing them through the biblical lens of truth...they are dead in sin, unable to even see how unloving they are. They need to be 'killed with kindness'; we as the body of Christ should be doing this daily. <br /><br />My prayer is that the body of Christ will walk humbly with our God, and love as Christ loves us. If we feed upon His word, our minds will be renewed and we will be less prone to being 'thin-skinned' when the world mocks or lashes out. We will get there because our God is faithful and He will keep 'at us' until we overcome; then it's on to the 'next trial'!!<br /><br />Bless you,<br />Lynlauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18418345528794992198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2112872706536660084.post-79271318903273611952012-07-18T05:02:53.597-07:002012-07-18T05:02:53.597-07:00Nothing will be impossible with God the angel told...Nothing will be impossible with God the angel told Mary.<br /><br />I should remind myself of this all the time.<br /><br />Hope is what keeps us alive. :)Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00380432930727921469noreply@blogger.com
