Thanks for the kind words all. I appreciate that story Lee....I hope to hear some of that music someday : ) Thanks for the wisdom, Yohanan. Hardheaded is the word for sure. Bfsc321, we ALL have failed that is what Romans 3:23 is meaning.... but thanks be to God, His steadfast love endures forever, He is long suffering to us ... as mentioned on another posting, many times it seems easier to just choose the wrong path! Can’t tell you the multitude of prayers I have sent heaven ward regarding those wrong paths! See, with God, sin is sin, there is no distinction. The blood of Christ covers sin. True we may face the consequences of our actions, but Gods mercy and grace is truly amazing. What an excellent post and replies. What I am so looking forward to is resurrection day for then I will shed this sinful nature I graple with day in and day out. I will truly be freeing! Thank you Bfsc321 for being so honest and open. Your post and the amazing replies from others really touched me this morning. Just what I needed. It seems so easy to feel like I have failed as a Christian and I too have had multiple thoughts about what I would hear at the BEMA. Thank the Lord that it is about what He did not what I have done! Amen and ditto to what Dave Lawson said!
We are certainly in the season, the end of the church age is at hand, I prefer today in 2020, but God says his thoughts are not our thoughts and our ways are not his ways ... He is still on the throne and very much in charge of the planet! Our job, is to stay the course, pray, watch, witness, worship! Pretty simple if you think about it. As Jack Hibbs says why should we ever worry about who we offend, just get them to Jesus, we can iron out the small stuff later, at least they may now be headed to an eternity in heaven instead of hell! Never, give up on the gifts that God gave you, it’s like the talents buried in the ground or invested! I’m way too non musical to even imagine the sensitivity of spirit you have for God loves music, look at much of the Old Testament. Praying His richest blessing on your walk as you continue to draw closer to the Father who loves you without measure. :prayer-hands:
