--- Quote from: TRUTH281 on January 12, 2011, 03:04:06 AM ---Hey everyone. I'm kind of at a low point because the fact is I'm not obeying the first command: "And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment (Mark 12:30).
--- End quote ---


Dont feel Bad brother, i do not, nor will i ever, while in this carnal flesh, be able to follow that commandment wholly. God knows i try, but thank God that i cant because it gives me a reason to try again. And if i did do it, i might become self rightous. God knows that too. How Great the God we live for.

Jake,

" Thou shalt" means "You will"

God will make sure of it.  See it as His promise.

When I was in Babylon, I would catch myself singing words in the assembly like
" I'll always love you Lord.....", and " I will stand........" etc, etc.

Then my adversary would say, " Who d'ya think you're kidding? You're just a lump of carnal crud."
Then I'd be in tears for hours.  Striving and aching, chasing my tail.
One day I realised I was declaring a fact.
I had it all back to front.

I will do all these things because He wills it, not me.
I will stand.  I will love. Because He says I will.
If I think I'm Falling, it's His will.
If I think I'm winning, It's His will.

We can do nothing of ourselves.

The 'Master' decides if His servant stands.
No one else; not the servant or any other that judges him.

By your Master you will stand.
You will be exactly what He requires.
He'll make sure of it.

Peace be yours Jake.

Grape, thanks for the encouraging words. i never seen it that way. " i will", wow i need to realize that i can love him like that. that is what he wants. sometimes i am too hard on myself. but i know now that i can love him like that. thanks alot for you insight.

TRUTH281:
Thanks everyone for your words of encouragement. I'm doing better now, but God did convice me for not reading his word for a while. I just look forward to the day I'm not obligated to study for College which includes the weekends and every waking moment. I want to spend whole days reading about whatever. Genesis one studies, Ray's articles, and other articles.

grapehound:
'Bible-Truths' eh, Santi?

God Bless
