And so, this comes to mind:

1 John 4:2 By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, 3 and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh  is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world. 4 You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. 5 They are of the world. Therefore they speak as of the world, and the world hears them. 6 We are of God. He who knows God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.

In His Love,

   EXCELLENT Quote Suzanne!   


"He who knows God hears us."  And, we hear them.  We may not agree on everything but as we mature, at the demise of our carnal nature (our pride and ego), we allow Him to teach us through His Word and His Word in His children.  Because, we recognize the spirit of error within ourselves and that allows us to hear the spirit of truth in the Word and in others He dwells in.  We are being refined...His gold and silver and jewels...being polished! Which brings me again to one of my favorite passages....

• Malachi 3:16-18  Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before Him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon His name.  And they shall be Mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up My jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.  Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth Him not.

We are His jewels!
