Hello When, I was a young child the neighbor hood kids would play Bible School. We would put on sing and skits and invite the neighbor ladies to watch us. Some were Catholic, some Lutheran and a variety.
But, a while before leaving churches it hit me. A strange feeling. They would act out scenes from the Bible and do skits and all kinds of things. A thought came to me. This is Big People doing childs play. I just could not get rid of this. It always has a leader and followers. And then they all clap. At the end they all praise each other for there hard work. I believe God made me see the sham so I would leave. Amazing the different things along our journey that led us where we are at. He for sure does direct our paths. There was lots of times I thought, why do I think this or that and it goes all against the chruch doctrines. I even belive he wanted me to change my mind about things, but he used a variety of things to make me leave. I use to sing solos at the church.
They would all brag on me and think she is so holy. Then even with that depression would set in. No, one knew it. It was not full filling. That , had to come from God. He was showing me applause from men doesn't mean a thing. Now, I dont care if I sing at all. But, my heart sings alone with him. I love just telling him how much I love his truths and the changes he is doing in me.
This is just some of my thoughts. But, he uses it all.
In His Love,
Marlene
