been there,even befor I knew of HIM.

Dear Mary:
If you think, say, and do "honorable" things, then you are a vessel of honour: if you
think, say and do "dishonorable" things, then you are a vessel of dishonor.
The Bible says that Jesus "Knows those who are HIS." By that very statement, the
indication is that although Jesus knows, WE DON'T. So I am not really in a position to
judge you on this matter. But if you love God and love your fellow man, and you
are overcoming and conquering your sins, then I would guess that you are on the way
toward being one of God's chosen few.
God be with you,
Ray"
This is awesome. I had been wondering if there was some sort of litmus test to see if you were one vessel or the other. It is heartening to know that I am on my way to being one of God's chosen few. It is another good thing that Jesus knows His own. We are not alone. It is awesome in knowing that we do not have to go and strive to find and know Him in a sense, that he already knows and has found us. What a blessedness. Phillipains 4:6 might relate to this e-mail.
What are your thoughts on this?
Sincerely,
Anne C. McGuire
