Come to these threads as you are; leave with what you have discovered.

Absolutely no flaming! These daily threads are intended to be devotional in nature. If a particular day's offering says nothing to you, please just go on and wait for the next day. Consider these threads a DMZ of sorts, a place where a perpetual truce is in effect and a place where all other arguments and disagreements from other times and places are left behind.

I can attest from personal experience that reading from Chambers daily will almost certainly change - not one's faith - but one's perspective of his/her own faith, and open up new vistas in your spiritual life. If - when - this happens to a reader of these threads, and they choose to share what has happened within them - we are treading on hallowed ground. Be respectful.

Does He ever find me pondering the time when I cared only for Him? Is that where I am now, or have I chosen man’s wisdom over true love for Him? Am I so in love with Him that I take no thought for where He might lead me? Or am I watching to see how much respect I get as I measure how much service I should give Him?

This is good.

“Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that naturewill reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.”- Galatians 6:7-8

Another body blow for good by Oswald.

Thanks.

Mercifully, God has brought me to the point where this one doesn't sting near as much as it did 30 years ago.

Nice to see He knows what He's doing in conforming me to the image of His Son.

Now, if He'd only work a little faster! LOL.

My emotions can still cover quite a range on a number of issues. But I'm emphatically more settled than ever

That God is God and always will be God.
That God is good all the time; that all the time, God is good.

That HE IS WORTHY our Praise and our Love.
