The measure of a man is not his limits, but his integrity. He is measured by his actions when no one is looking. His intellect is measured by his retention to facts. His weight in pounds or kilograms.
It is human nature to compare ourselves to others. There is not social site around that does not cater to the carnal desire. We can’t help it. We were born with a sinful nature. We are taught, and we learn what the difference between good and evil is…..this, is of the world.
Personally, I am not of this world. I am passing through. Taking the narrow path which leads to eternal life. AND THAT, right now …… gives me peace to carry through the day. The enemy buffets me as often as he can with intrusive thoughts. I am instructed to take every thought captive. This separates the meat from the bones….and the goats from the sheep.
I don’t know why I can’t shut the filing system in my head off when “I” want to sometimes. I vacillate on many ideas, but remain steadfast in my faith. Faith is the foundation to build life…
Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. This is what the ancients were commended for.
By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.
The blessed are those who are persecuted for their faith. You cannot hear the word of God while contempt for your brother is in your heart. You must be clean…..all it takes is to ask Jesus for forgiveness, and He will forgive. This builds a relationship with God ….for He says….. “be Holy, for I am Holy”
I am a sinner saved by Grace…..and may all Grace and Mercy be to all that may read these words and put them to action. In Jesus Name.
