It's technically morning, but it's actually very very late at night. But it's spring break (!!) and you're worth it. So here goes....
Don't care about other people's opinions. Don't be hasty. God is leading the way. What do you want to ask him? You see Jesus? He's human and has a comfort zone?! Not by the way he's acting... Don't be hasty.
Love,
Luke 19
Oh no, I have the Zacchaeus song stuck in my head! Hahahaha. Woot Zac for being so generous!
So Luke ends with the talents story. You who are faithful with little, here's more. Well Done! That's what I think when I'm working at an almost-minimum-wage job :-)
Now it's the Passion. Awesome. That starts on Sunday here too... I wonder if it was snowing here when Jesus was carrying his cross.... That's a really weird thought... huh. (it's snowing here right now)
God, I pray that I would see Your coming. How you're working here on earth. How you're coming into each person's life. Lord, let me recognize it. I don't want to be blind to You.
And then Jesus drives out the money changers. Luke doesn't mention the whip. I think only John does... hmm... It's an awesome piece of knowledge. I wonder if God would give me whip lessons in heave, but we'd never need to use it, right? haha. I'm in a weird mood. It's late at night. (and it's kinda without permisson... or censure... hmm...)
Luke 20
Jesus is really quite the smart guy. Oh wait, that shouldn't surprise me. But that's a smart question to ask the Pharisees: John's baptism... what do you think? So there are times when you can choose not to answer a question.... good to keep in mind. I mean, keep with the spirit, me, but hey, good to remember, no?
I wonder- WHOA I just had a thought. Jesus had a comfort zone. He's human, right? He must have had a comfort zone. So like, all this time he's been acting on his God side, but he's got a comfort zone. God, show me what it was like to step out time and time and time again and say the gutsy thing, or do the crazy thing, hang out with the wrong people, etc. Lord, how often did you have butterflies in your stomach? Wow...
I was just going to say, it was pretty gutsy of Jesus to tell a parable about the Pharisees... 'course, he knew time was running out, so it wasn't like he had a life to worry about...
And so they try to test him. But Jesus is awesome, and God, and the bible says don't test your awesome God. Or something like that.
Dear sister: Give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and God what is God's. He he
I've always wondered if that woman was intentionally doing something to all her husbands... or just a bad cook? I dunno...
If I could ask Jesus any question, what would it be?
Holy smokes, I gotta think about that for a bit... I might have to give me a few days...
Luke 21
Even when you have little, if you are generous with it, then God sees and smiles. That's enough.
I really don't want to be on earth at the end of the age. Lord, do you think you could... wait?? <:-)
I feel selfish, but that's honestly what I think whenever I read about the end times on earth...
17All men will hate you because of me. 19 By standing firm you will gain life.
What would my life be like if I took the hatred of the world for granted and did not look for acceptance. What would my life be like if I God was all that mattered and I honestly DIDN"T CARE WHAT OTHERS THOUGHT OF ME??? Do I do that? No. People's opinions are way too important to me. Help?!
Proverbs 19
2 It is not good to have zeal without knowledge, nor to be hasty and miss the way. Soo... if need be, take more than 4 years of college? Just a thought... Other ways to use this. careful consideration of what college to go to... not just jumping to conclusions and be hasty and miss the way? The destination might be the same place, but the path taken will be different. Careful.
14 Houses and wealth are inherited from parents, but a Prudent Wife is from the LORD. Or an Awesome Husband.
21 Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is the LORD's purpose that prevails. SO true!
23 The fear of the LORD leads to life: Then one rests content, untouched by trouble. Ok, so I am definitely going to rest content and untouched by trouble tonight. I actually am doing the right thing and loving God more than sleep.... hehehehe I'm not going to wake up content, but that's a different story...
Revelation 19
So I pray to be NOT on earth when the end times come, yet they couldn't come quick enough, because after that is a God party/feast in heaven!!! And a wedding. Awwwww
Heaven standing open. What a GLORIOUS sight!
The rider on the White Horse. My Knight in Shining Armour! I love him. He's my light. I love you!!!!!
Hallelujah!
