Interesting topic and replies.  Weird, I was just thinking of posting a new topic that goes along with this one.

It has to do with the persecution we get while in this world, and not just that, but that with the knowledge we have now, how much easier it is to be obedient, than before.

Knowing that God truly is love and will forgive all, the willingness to follow Him, becomes more of a need to, than a desire to.  Understand?  It is so much better to follow Him out of love, than out of fear.  

Following Him while under the law, through our own righteousness, seems futile now.  Following Him while under grace, through faith, seeing and knowing Him as Abba, Father, is so much better, than before.  

Hope this goes along with this thread.

God bless,

Gary

JJ, I can certainly understand where you are coming from.

Following Jesus, in the heavinlies is totally different than following Him while being a part (accepted), in this world.

God bless,

This has been a most thought provoking thread. It truly is amazing how God chooses to work his will in to our lives.

I hope my following words do not sound corny, but: "With God on our side, who is there to be against us?" This little question has provided much comfort over the years.

Praise be to God's love and dedication to each of us, having broken down our deepest, darkest defenses.

Thanks so much for sharing your hearts.

   I am wondering if there is anything to this moving around thing.  I too have moved alot.  Over 25 times in my adult life (33 years old now).  Not just small moves either.  Straight accross the country (Canada) several times (with small kids) and even to Great Britain.  I feel like I might be staying put now that my kids are 5 and 3 but who knows, maybe some of us are meant to be wanderers.  I am also a loner.  My wife makes friends wherever we go but I prefer to keep to myself.  My friends are here at BT.

God bless
Scott
