You change - No You

I want everyone to change and see the world like I do!

Yet I know if they did then the world would have little contrast, and I already have a twin, so I don't need a billion of them.

I desperately love God and love most people. It amazes me that I can often love a sinner who is evil easier than a good person whom I feel should act better. I can so easily except a person whom I know is not going to treat me right, yet struggle with people who I fell should know better. For some reason I go crazy over leaders that manipulate and professing spiritual people who are opportunist and focused on getting others to do what they are called to do.

The answer to all these issues is the cross. But I want them to embrace the cross not me. Why should I change, don't I have the truth? Don't I know more than they do?

In the reality of God, each one of us is to take their own life and deny themselves and follow Jesus. We get in trouble willing and desireing others to be Christlike and remove the focus from our own hearts and Jesus. It is not hard to find things wrong. Can we find anything good, anything noble, anything of a good report?

In the beginning God made man and women. Both of them different. Both of them made for different things. And that was just the start of all the different people He would make for His earth and His body.

What is evil?

Credit for evil

Have you ever noticed how much credit we give to evil? If something bad happens we say that Satan is attacking us or that some evil (in people or in the world) is coming against us. Is that true? I’m a fairly charismatic mystical spiritual follower of Jesus and yet I do not think every action and reaction of mine is good or evil. I mean in the space between God and Satan is me. And the me that I am has motives for doing stuff. I can be stupid, mean, immature and yes evil. So should there be space in this life to live and call some of the stuff that happens to us “the land of immaturity of others”? Or are those who disagree with me under the influence of the evil one. O – I guess we all are under the influence of the evil one. But is there any wiggle room (freedom) under that influence? Is there any authority and domain of person?
If there is space for personal immaturity and failings then I do not need to attack you every time we come into conflict. I can live my life more to love you and help you than to fix you and overcome you. Did you hear that? I can live my life more to love you and help you than to fix you and overcome you. Don’t you just love the way you act when you are drive to fix others. I mean, how many of the ills of life would go on to destroy the world if we did not undertake the duty of fixing all those who differ from us ( I mean differ from God). Often I have found the only injustice that I tolerate is that which is found in my own heart. ( An observation I have made over and over again is that a little deed of darkness was testified to be the work of Satan hindering the daily activity of one of His Saints while some true act of love and kindness is not even recognized. It is as tough we live to promote evil and neglect good)
Community is one of the six things we need in Christ Jesus so that we live our life well. Community is built on family. It is built first on the family of God and then natural family. God made His family first. If you want to live a better life, give fixing those in your community a rest and simply try to live in family.
WARNING!!!!!
If you study the role of family in biblical history you may want more not to be a part then to be a part. But we all must remember that the goodness of the path we take is determined by the destination and not they ease of walk.
PS: Even God disciplines those He loves.

The New You

Time
One way that you can move on from being stuck in where you are now is through a better understanding of time. I think most of us need to improve our theology of time.
Do you have a work life, a home life, a church life, a private life? Well the first thing that I suggest you do is to unify your life and stop dividing yourself up. What if in dividing your life into different time compartments you are also dividing up who you are? What if one of the reasons you feel overcome by “not enough time” is the result of trying to live a divided life rather than a whole and unified life?
There are many ways to look at time, one of them is like a map. But if your life map is all about the time you spend doing different things you can look at that map and believe you are going nowhere and doing nothing. If that is you, here is a suggestion.
Stop focusing on what you do and in a real way, enter into the place of abiding in Jesus Christ the Lord. Enter into the Master and ruler of time and there ask for a revision of your vision. Ask Jesus to make your life whole, united. Now ask God to allow you to see that everything you do, everything is who I am. Ask God to reveal to you that your life mission is not a part of your life, it is all your life. I am saying that what you do with a part of your life (like ministry, family, job) or whatever is not your life. Your wondrous beauty is in all of who you are.
Going to work and healing the sick are the same thing if your life is aligned to God. In fact many people are trying to verify their life by doing some great things in the spirit while their main calling is to do great things a work. Because of the fall we often hate the very thing we ought to love. But that is for later.
There is a simple and complex beauty to life in God. 6 areas or arenas of living need to be integrated so that we live out our created purpose. Time, identity, community, skill, vision and transportation are all necessary ingredients to harmonize.
