Romans 3 today

So,

Wow,

Ahem,

What,

Wow,

Didn't see that coming. I never thought for a minute we would stop working with and trying to turn a corner. There are some people missing in my life that have gone now. In fact, a few people are gone from my life. Sometimes, I discover that it has to be that way. Both of these people that are gone from my life have been difficult for me to get along with. They have taught me so many things. Glenn says I have to have someone in my life to bring me conflict. I'm starting to think that really isn't true. I have had a lot to deal with in my life and a lot of it is below the surface. I am strong. However, let me not boast. There is not one person good on this planet. We all fall short and I am no different. I shared yesterday about the idea of "terminal uniqueness." Someone very close to me said I suffer from this disease of terminal uniqueness. It makes me think I am different than everyone else. That, unfortunately, is not the case. I am the same. The same things that hurt me, hurt you. The same things that seperate me, seperate you. The same things that have me lie in bed awake, keep you awake too. I laugh, cry, hiccup, cough, breathe, and pout......just like you. I also Love. I love like you do. But, I'm working hard to LOVE LIKE "HE" LOVES. AGAPE.

Romans 3,

What we've learned is this: God does not respond to what we do; we respond to what God does. We've finally figured it out. Our lives get in step with God and all others by letting him set the pace, not by proudly or anxiously trying to run the parade.

Lord, God, Friend, Father, Abba, Prince of Peace, Comforter, Yaweh, Jehovah,

With the changes happening in my life.........please help me to look for what you are doing. (Not what I think should be happening.) At one time I asked you to show me what to do and direct my steps with large Billboards and flashing lights pointing the way. I ask you to do that again for not only myself, but for others around me. Let the only open door be the one you have opened for them. Let me be a blessing today to those around me and life up those hurting. Thank you. Thank you for being there to walk with me. Thank you for caring. Thank you for your LOVE. Amen.
