"Purposed Love!"

"Living HIS Will!"
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>|||<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
1 John 3:20-22
(Amplified Version)

Whenever our hearts in [tormenting] self-accusation make us feel guilty and condemn us.
[For we are in God's hands.] For He is above and greater
than our consciences (our hearts), and He knows (perceives and understands) everything
[nothing is hidden from Him]. And, beloved, if our consciences (our hearts)
do not accuse us [if they do not make us feel guilty and condemn us],
we have confidence (complete assurance and boldness) before God,
And we receive from Him whatever we ask,
because we [watchfully] obey His orders
[observe His suggestions and injunctions, follow His plan
for us] and [habitually] practice what is pleasing to Him.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>|||<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

The Apostle John tells of how my conscience must be in submission, not only to my will but to HIS Will and HIS Purpose, in that I may become more Obedient to HIS orders, follow HIS Plan and fulfill HIS Purpose.

Where others may be guided by Holy Spirit, in a differing direction than I, a common Purpose is yet to be attained.

Each Believer in Christ, each with differing understandings, must seek God's Will and Purpose specifically for themselves, allowing Holy Spirit to reveal God's Eternal Plan.

I can only live within the boundaries of my Calling and Purpose, and others must follow that same direction.

The Apostle John was not in any way moving away from God's Purpose for his life, nor was he working towards being like the Apostle Paul in his determined vocation according to the Gospel of Christ.

I must remind myself, that submission to Holy Spirit, is an act of Willful Obedience rather than a weakness of my will.

Becoming all that I can be in and for Christ, depends solely on my committment to fulfilling God's Eternal Plan, which has been laid out for my life before I was even born.

John recognized this for himself, Paul recognized this as well as did Peter, and they constantly refused to be sidetracked in their determination, nor were they defeated by their own thoughts of condemnation or quilt.

Neither were they dismayed by any accusations coming from others against them in their desire to serve Christ.

More of who Christ IS to me!

          MORE like HIM,

                        I desire to be!!

                      Some day SOON, with HIM I will BE!!!

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>|||<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

 

O'Lord, I am humbled by YOUR Love,
causing my heart to burn for YOU!
I desire to submit all that I am,
so that YOU can make me all that YOU Will!!
Take my hands and use them,
speak through my lips YOUR WORDS of Life!!!
That YOUR Kingdom will flourish,
fulfilling YOUR Plan for Eternity!
Use me for YOUR Glory, O'Lord!!!
Amen!
