funny thing...God. He is funny because He knows everything, and sets you up...then He stands in the corner and looks off in the distant like, "What? I was just standing here, what are you looking at me for?" At least, at times He does, and He makes me laugh. Rachel, this is what He meant when he said, "Do not look upon yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgement in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you."
I have been thinking about something this week...the last time i got all A's in any grading period was 1st grade. Now, the last time i got all A's and one B was last semester. I have had this happen many times throughout my life, and i have always felt a bit let down, but proud i could get so close. I wonder, have i sabotaged myself? I procrastinate and hide from work, creating weeks like the one i have just had and am almost through only to pull out some fairly good work at the last second and not use the full potential of who i am over time. *nods* things are changing, but, wow do i know see just how much they need to. I love you my dear, dear sister...who looks like me:) Shalom.
I love you too... I'm glad the Lord is revealing more to you... it's a hard place to be... but also very sweet. True that:
"Do not look upon yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgement in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you."
The closer I grow to the Lord the more I realise my need for his grace and mercy... praise God I don't feel the need to beat myself up anymore... it's healthy surrender. Hallelujah! I look forward to seeing you next week. :o)
