***One size will never fit all at the human level.

Assuming that because one size doesn’t fit all, therefore a given presentation, personna, whatever—can’t have any redeeming social or spiritual value is a hazardous judgment—in my experience.

Beyond that . . . folks are quite welcome to avoid my posts. I’m not offended. My posts are primarily aimed at whomever they may have some eternal value for. I’d rather others ignored them. But that’s really up to them, of course! LOL.

Now, if folks are trying to tell me that my personna, style, motives, etc. are worthless or worse . . . wellll . . . I don’t think that message will get too far. I’ve too many decades seeing otherwise first hand.***

Presenting a misrepresentation of the Church of Jessus Christ in multicoloured and multi fonted fashion doesn’t seem to have much spiritual value.

IF The Lord is telling you to AVOID reading my posts, I’m not about to argue with Him!

Far be it from me to waste your time or worse! LOL.

As to spiritual value, or not . . . I think I’ll go with The Lord’s assessment.

Scripture says that He tests us with PRAISE.

Human praise is comforting, gratifying, encouraging. And, honor to whom honor is due. Certainly to be a Barnabas is a fitting Biblical way of traveling—much to be preferred over lots of other options—on average, most of the time—in most contexts.

But in the overall scheme of things . . . It’s highly likely that, comparatively, only Daddy’s Praise amounts to anything significantly eternal.

Better to be focused on our Lord so extensively and thoroughly that neither praise nor assaults cause the least flutter in our spirits, emotions, minds.

And . . . yet . . . to avoid being so “Heavenly minded” in silly ways that we are of no earthly good.

But, thank you for your exhortation. I’m sure Daddy will be checking His records to see where He went wrong in His assessments. Perhaps He’ll ring you up for a refresher course in proper judgment about such things.
