Glory to the Lordtimmyd16July 14 2005, 09:44:36 UTC
During my daily prayer today, something struck and I just couldn't get it out of my head. I just kept thinking, what would people think if they saw me, what would the world think, what would they think of me? I have been so cautious about my image, and my appeal to people, that I totally forgot about the one true person I'm trying to impress. Just like in my last journal entry, I listen to the song, "live what I believe," every day and it just never hit me like it did today. When are we going to start humbling ourselves, when will we forget others opinions and say, it's just you and I, Lord. Thats all I want, I don't want to impress the girls and play ball the guys and forget everything I stand for. Thats not who I am, and thats not who I want to be. I don't want to live the life the world tells me is good. If I want to sing for the Lord, I will not be silent, I will not be quiet anymore. I just prayed today that God would rain down and sweep me away. That I would just take off and be washed clean off all my iniquities, and even if the whole world was watching me, I would know that it was just myself and Jesus. I am a man of God, we all are, so forget about the others and what they may say, for it is with God where you will always be accepted. God Bless and keep giving Glory to the Lord. Tim

Its hard. Thats the bottom line. Going against the grain, against everything this world tells us is good. What pumps me up is that we CHOOSE to be different. We choose to be consecrated and set apart. We have been given a taste of something so sweet that we would do anything to have more. But sometimes we forget.
It is hard when the whole world lives breathes and eats image. But God is craftier than that... "The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart." 1 Samuel 16:7
Just remember that God wants YOU. thats all he wants. and that you aim to please an audience of ONE. One purpose. One cause. One Glory. One power. One Jesus. amen.
keep it up bro. I know I said I would be on a break from livejournal- but this came to my e-mail and I had to reply. God bless- Ashley
