Some think that in order to follow Christ our Lord means that we suffer only, the Lord did more than just suffer! Everywhere He went people were blessed, when He feed thousands there was overflow, He turned water into wine, He was happy to accept the little children! HAPPY!



We are told to take up our cross and follow Him...where does that lead? It leads you out of the suffering past the cross into NOT SUFFERING anymore. Jesus did not remain on that cross or remain toting that burden!  He is the one that leads you out of that suffering into the Kingdom of BLESSINGS! He makes it so that everywhere you go people are blessed, everything you do or touch will cause overflow of blessings, when you feed a thousand there will always be leftovers! AMEN!

Devotional and Inspiring Thoughts / The Essence of Loving God
« Last post by dgbygrace on March 27, 2012, 02:38:34 pm »
Because your love is better then life, my lips will glorify you  Psalm 63:3

Tragically, most of us have been taught that duty, not delight, is the way to glorify God.  We have not been taught that delight in God is our duty!  Being satisfied in God is not an optional add-on to the real stuff of Christian duty.  It is the most basic demand of all, "Delight yourself in the Lord" (Psalm 37:4) is not a suggestion, but a command.  So are, "Serve the Lord with gladness" (Psalm 100:2), and "Rejoice in the Lord always" (Philippians 4:4).

Scripture says that the "steadfast love of the Lord is better then life" (Psalm 63:3 RSV).  If it is better than life, it is better than all that life in this world offers.  What satisfies are not the gifts of God, but the glory of God--the glory of His love, the glory of His power, the glory of His wisdom, holiness, justice, goodness, and truth.

We do not honor the refreshing, self-replenishing, pure water of a mountain spring by lugging buckets of water up the path to make our contributions from the ponds below.  We honor the spring by feeling thirsty, getting down on our knees, and drinking with joy.  Then we say, "Ahhhh!" (that's worship!), and we go on our journey in the strength of the fountain (that's service!).  The mountain spring is glorified most when we are most satisfied with its water.

To be satisfied in God is the essence of what it means to love God.  Loving God may include obeying all His commands; it may include believing all His Word; it may include thanking Him for all His gifts; but the essence of loving God is enjoying all He is.  It is this enjoyment of God that glorifies His worth most fully, especially when all around our soul gives way.

Interesting...I wonder where they get the idea that angels cease to exist after fulfilling their task??

That's a great question and I did ponder on that one when I read it, if these angel are in fact "disembodied intellect" emanating or being sent out from God, then that would put us (?) as the receivers of that disembodiment (I'm thinking 'thought' form) and once received by us would that cause it to no longer exist? I ate an apple today does that apple still exist? I say yes just in a different form.

So the first thing that comes to my mind is "man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God."

I personally don't think non-exist but more to translate, transform, change...
