Does pride in what you know and hear yourself saying, drive your mindset?

 If we’re confident in our relationship with Christ, we can listen to others and their beliefs and give them the space, brotherly love, and respect they need in order to grow while God feeds them Truth. Others should see in us the goodness of Christ and his gospel. 

 

God plus stubbornness might look like heels digging into sand.  Not what we would wish for others, but a real possibility. Just as it’s not our job to save others--that’s the Holy Spirit’s job; when others look, they should see Christ in us, not a reflection of our pride.

 

John 6:44 tells us that no one comes to Christ except first the Father draws them. While others are open, don’t provoke stubbornness which blocks their growing in knowledge of God and what He wants to do in their lives, starting with Salvation.  Listen with the genuine respect we seek in return. Love is the groundwork for all Christian growth.  

 

God will weigh and honor what He deems worthy.

Salvation Statement

  Truly Believe 10.2024           “Why are we here?”   God made us for a relationship with Himself, a relationship meant to carry us into eternity.

God's Intended Life for Me

Slowly, consistently, gently, work toward producing a setting which can sustain the life that God intended for me.  Allow His true meaning (physical and emotional) for my life to thrive. Let Prayer and Gratitude survive.  Make them a centerpiece. Stop constantly and consciously surrounding myself with negative memories of my past.  Let God’s intended life for me take hold and grow. Positive , loving , God-Centered Peacefulness and Gentleness .  Let go of all the negative situations I surround myself with. Shun human standards. Meditate and pray, making choices about my actions beforehand to lessen the harshness of my autism. Look to other Christian women as examples. Always be aware of being under His gentle, loving wing. He is our Father and He truly loves us. Never forget, He made us for the purpose of having a relationship with Him.
