Ok - here is an edited post I made on another site:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Today: April 1st, God pulls a NON-April Fools stunt in my life.
I was feeling the fool yesterday as I did my study for today's Sunday School lesson. We covered the events leading up to the Crucifixion - and I was researching all the prophecies involved - of which there are a myriad more than I realized...
Then came the question in the study guide:
"Jesus carried a cross.
What are YOU carrying?
__A burden
__A grudge
__A gun
__Other "
The "A gun" was a little tongue in cheek, I'm sure... but I got mildly honest and checked the first two... then for "other" I wrote:
Anger, Fear, Bitterness, Guilt, Shame.....
All the things I bury deep until satan trips my emotions up with someone getting under my skin - and WHAM! I'm right back in it again.
Shame is the worst.
This is my stumbling block and anchor around my neck.
NOW I'm fighting myself to change that... with no clue how to overcome... and God says, "SHEESH, baby girl!!! Don't you know that you're supposed to lay that rediculous burden down and take up MY cross and follow Me, and I'll handle everything else?????
Yeah... but then there's idiotic fear.... and lonliness amplifying that fear....
(Bleck, ick, PHOOEY, again!)
Today I went to a Bible Study class with some ladies I know... first time in their class. It was a great fellowship.
Afterward, I'm standing there talking to one of the ladies - when I see a flurry out of the corner of my eye - that I ignore. I finish my conversation and look down to gather my notebook, purse and Bible - and there's a handwritten note.
I'll pause here.
Remember my biggest problem I listed on my Bible Study Guide?
Yeah... scroll up.
Ok...
This handwritten note says:
Paula White says, "God calls us by our NAME, NOT by our SHAME!"
I do not know who that is...
I know there was no Paula White in our class...
I did not see who left it....
I do not know how they saw me...
There is no Paula White in the Church Directory...
I've NEVER talked about this at Church, or any of my friends or family...
...But God got the message to me on a torn peice of address book in blue ink on the Sunday after I finally admitted those things to Him at home.
One of my favorite verses to quote everybody is:
"BEFORE they call, I will answer - and while they are still speaking, I WILL HEAR!" Isaiah 65:24
Never doubt that He hears you, dear ones.
NEVER.
~~~~~~~~~
The WHOLE thing is at ChurchUSA - I have another name there... ...Later I learned Paula White is a TV Minister.
Peace.

God is amazing~His Son, Jesus lived and died for us, to remove our sins and set us free .... why? because He loves us so.
I am blessed daily by a husband who not only loves me, but God is his first priority, setting the stage for a wonderful marriage, 25 years long just a couple weeks ago! I am blessed by 3 children, almost all grown and all have accepted Jesus as their own Savior..... the Joy that fills me daily is only from God above!

God has brought me through deeply troubled times and always saved me from the worst that could happen in my life. He has given me a family I wasn't supposed to have, and has given me peace and comfort always. "I had fainted unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living." Even before I knew Him, He was watching over me.

ok initially how ought to you position away infantile issues and nevertheless keep the softness of heart that a baby has? in basic terms as you suggested it. you position away infantile habit (like immaturity, irresponsibility, etc.) yet you keep the softness of heart that a baby has (worrying, loving, accepting, purity). once you settle for Jesus into your heart as your Lord and Savior, you've develop right into a baby (or son) of God because you're giving up your worldly strategies to develop into like Christ. type of like how the Bible makes use of "Christ", "Lord", "Jesus", "God", "Father", etc yet all of them mean an identical individual. so a strategies because the ladies persons of God section, Jesus isn't except women persons the following. The Bible in basic terms makes use of adult adult males as a connection with each person of all genders, so adult adult males and women persons. We nevertheless do this on the instantaneous human beings say "Come on adult adult males" yet they could say it to a set of adult adult males or women persons, you realize? properly the Bible is doing an identical project. If this does no longer truly make experience to you, please experience free to e-mail me and ask extra questions.
