5 Nissan 5768 (Hebrew 7th Month) "FOR-bearing!"
No matter how much I try to justify myself to other people, it is who I am in God's sight that carries weight for eternity.
I may not be what others expect of me, never quite being exactly what they think I should or should not be, but rather who and what God expects and has called and prepared me to be and be doing, must be my focus each day.
At first glance, it is much easier for me to look at others and attempt to judge them and their shortfalls against my own perception of more noble deeds, yet not I nor anyone else but Christ, is that measurement which God uses as my standard for living.
Christ Jesus is who I am subject to as the measurement set by God, both in Faith and Works, I will never forget what HE did for me 2000 years ago at Calvary, that in itself makes all the difference regarding my eternity.
Every Believer in Christ, whether living or dead including myself, as chosen by God are instruments of Praise, Purpose and Power on the earth, being HIS Forebearers of the Gospel.
God's Spirit quides me through each of my days, molding me as I seek to become more like HIM who CHOSE me.
