"A FATHER'S LOVE" and "MEN AFTER GOD'S OWN HEART" and "SEXUAL INTIMACY & PERSONAL PERVERSION" are posts that will make it out here at some point. My desire is to have the Lord to speak through some of my OWN PERSONAL experiecnces, and to use some song lyrics that have touched my life over the years----EVEN NOW! It is never really easy exposing personal failures and SIN, but I have come to understand and know (through obedience to God's Spirit), life takes on a WHOLE NEW meaning when I obey what He Commands (by voice and Word). I am NOT surprised by the horrible decisions I have made over time to SERVE my OWN SELF over the people whom I was sent to or sent to me. I haven't even mentioned my disobedience to the Lord God Himself. Those have been some hard lessons! In the end though, I have been a BLESSED BROTHER to realize how much He loved and still does me to discipline me. "HE only does that to the one(s) He loves. Are you being spanked today? Are you being mature (made perfect) today? Are you in a place where it seems there is noone who is near, or understands where you are? Where is the map? Does anyone have a compass? Hmpf! I suppose I am alone again.
