that's who you are God. Jesus who? God. Lord. Messiah. Alpha and Omega. Saviour. Redeemer. Light of the World. Lamb of God. Ruler of Creation. Bread of Life. Emmanuel. Jesus is all I need, all I want. Jesus, take the wheel. He's almighty, omnipresent, omnipotent, love. I will do the natural (seeking help), looking to Him, and He will do the supernatural. when we are weak, we are strong. the good shepherd who knows me and whom I know, strength of my heart, my portion forever and ever.
give thanks to the Lord for He is good, His love endures forever.
you're off track, you get back in tune. nothing is impossible...it's only a matter of time. it's a matter of time how much your broken soul and crushed spirit is released from the control of what you initially wanted to control. you were wrong. but Jesus doesn't despise anything you're willing to offer to Him. what with a sick body, sick/weak/critical mind, lost spirit. just gotta look in the right direction, at the right people, at the right One. it doesn't matter how long it's gonna take...maybe even all your life. there's no giving up until God decides your life should end. if His purpose and will is for you to continue to fight the devil each time it attacks you, to 'keep picking yourself up again and again till He comes for you', then we musn't go against it. we cannot, anyway. it's more than understanding or speaking about it...what are you doing about it, are you slogging your ass day in day out just for a little bit of attention, a little bit of worldly contentment? well, man, guess you're still there. long way to go,gi.

VERSE: My son, do not despise the LORD's discipline and do not resent his rebuke, because the LORD disciplines those he loves, as a father the son he delights in. -- Proverbs 3:11-12
THOUGHT: Discipline, even when it is not falsely confused with punishment, is considered onerous, irritating, and unnecessary. The lazy and sinful part of us wants no boundaries, even if they are good, and no direction because it might conflict with what we want to do. But the Lord disciplines out of love to bless us. It is a sign of his delight. Why? Because he is not content to leave us unchanged, unmotivated, and disinterested. He wants to move us closer to our goal: Jesus!
PRAYER: I confess, Righteous Father, I don't like discipline all that much. However, Father, deep down I know that your discipline is for my good and my spiritual blessing. Please help me better know and use the situations in my life to become more like Jesus, in whose name I pray. Amen.
