What Keeps You Grounded
rsks:
Hello all,
Great reading all of your posts! My husband and I have been commenting to each other as I have been reading this to him. His reply to the question posed was....."The big picture". Seeing, living and learning every day more about God and His "Big picture".
The journey has been a difficult one. So many people think we are heretics for believing in the salvation of all. It feels like we are "outsiders" in many instances. But neither of us would trade the blessing of this knowledge for anything the world has to offer, that is for sure!
We love you all. It is such a blessing to be able to "be" with people of like mind! Prayers for our dear sweet Ray and "Keep your eye on the prize"!

Hello folks,
Lots to consider in the many points offered here. All for our mutual benefit.
I'm leaning toward the simple, for my own life.
The simple truths are really all we need aren't they? We have been gifted with belief.
We found that God has a plan and as someone has said, "God doesn't play dice with the Universe."
The truth that has impressed me the most is that my ancestors and my children and I "shall be in Paradise with Lord Jesus when he comes into his Kingdom". Does any thing else really matter that much?
Does it really concern me overly much whether I shall serve God as one of the elect in the first, the better resurrection or instead serve God through the Lake of Fire after the chaff has been driven out or purged away?
Please don't misunderstand my attitude. I am supremely grateful for the calling that I believe that I have been given. However, that appreciation and the God given or human desire to measure up to God's expectations for me, which after all is His work in me and not of my own effort alone and may be mixed with no small measure of ego to be candid about it, is still a fate that I can be satisfied with and live with in full contentment.
I don't know my fate or my future absolutely, I just know that I shall die and that God shall resurrect me and purge all sin out of me if that is yet necessary and I shall be a new creature with my heart of stone replaced with a heart of love.
I will be re-introduced to all my relatives past and future and we shall have so much to share and learn to appreciate that my life will be full every moment of the day as I fulfill the tasks that Lord Jesus places before me.

Amen Indiana Bob, that's a excellent Micah 6:8 attitude toward this whole thing you have there. Nicely put.
