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.

You’re welcome.

Folks amaze me when they proclaim and assure me that it is God’s words, that God will do this, that God will like that, and actually give His mindset.

God will Judge me as He will. I am His Creature. He is not mine.
