Me,,, In the Middle

On By foulweatherfaithIn ThoughtsLeave a comment

Ever since Jesus got my attention and brought me back under his wing, with a few pretty devastating consequences a few years back,,, I have been trying to coordinate with him on life issues a bit more !!!

Usually things go pretty well if I follow the,,, “Me,,, Jesus,,, Results”,,,scenario !!! That is where I go to him to show me the path ahead,,, according to his Will !! Without a doubt,, that is always the best way to go !!!

Sometimes though,,, I get an attitude that I should do it a different way,,, My Way !!! This I call the “Me,,, Me in the Middle,,, Results” scenario !!!

Now I have to admit something. My history and experiences have proven 100% of the time that “My Way” always returns the least desirable results !!!

So why do I do it ??? Well call it Arrogance, Pride or Blind Stupidly,,, any of them will apply !!! It is also known as “Shooting Yourself in the Foot” !!!

“My Way” always results in,,, what I like to refer to as, a wrestling match with Jesus !!!

Well ,,,, you will never win that match-up !!! You can’t fake him out, lie him out, deceive him out, sneak one over on him or hide from him ,,, he created you and knows everything about you ,,, everything!!!

So stop beating your head against an immovable wall and turn back to him !!! He will guide you back onto the right track,,, his track !! It may not seem like the best way to you at the time, but in hindsight, down the road, you will realize it was the best possible outcome to any situation you get yourself into !!!

Believe me,,, I have experienced it in my life many many times !!

If you don’t know Jesus or haven’t asked him into your heart and life ,,, well,,,,you are pretty much on your own !! You can just continue to be foolish, arrogant, stubborn, and defiant ,,, which in each case, will eventually come back to bite you !! I know that from experience as well !!!

Ask Jesus into your life and let his light and wisdom guide you forward ,,, in this life and for eternity with him in heaven!!! It’s a peacefully fulfilling path !! Let him solve any problem to your benefit,,, because he loves you unconditionally!!!

Please get back on track ,,,, you won’t be sorry !!!

May God Bless and Protect You !!!

Truth or Consequences Update

On By foulweatherfaithIn ThoughtsLeave a comment

Hello, Everyone-

Here is a repeat of a blog entry I wrote back in 2016- As for the Truth part,,, it has not changed in the last 9 years except that the Real Truth has become even harder to follow !!! Look around and tell me that lying and worldly truth have not become unbelievable !!! How many News programs do you trust to tell you the truth,,, I mean the real unbiased truth as to what happened or was stated ??? Not Many or Maybe None !!!

Gods Truth never changes,,,, 0000 ,,,, 1900 ,,, 2024 or 3535 !!

On the other hand,,, the world’s truth constantly changes,,, just change the station or politician, or person you are listening to.

If you want the Real Truth, turn to the Bible, there are answers to anything you may encounter in this world !! It will also warn you of the Consequences if you don’t take it to heart and change your path !!!

Believe me, I can attest to this fact, as I have lived through and am still living with the consequences of my sometimes stubborn and arrogant past !!! Consequences are never very pleasant !!

Now,,, April 2016

I remember when I was growing up, years ago, there was a TV show called “Truth or Consequences” The theme was that if a contestant couldn’t answer a question with the truth,,, there would be consequences. I also have a friend that grew up in Truth or Consequences New Mexico. Does that sound like a western town??

Anyhow my experience in life has been that, if you don’t tell or live by the truth,,, there will always be consequences down the road,, pretty much for sure. It is true in this life and will be true in eternity. John 14:6 says (KJV) : “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life:no man cometh unto the Father, but by me”. If we choose to live by, believe and accept the truth of Jesus in this present life, we will be with him in eternity,,, if not,,, there will be the consequences of eternity separated from him,,,,,, Hell. The truth is always the best way !!!

May God Bless Your Day !!!

Up and Down

Here’s a thought from my life experiences ,,,,

There is always an Up Side to any Down Side and always a Down Side to any Up Side,,, The trick is to stay focused on the Up,,, whether Up or Down !!!

Focus on Jesus Christ; he is Always the Up, whether you are Up or Down !!

Focus on him, and the Up will be sustainable ( relating to a lifestyle involving the use of sustainable methods ), and the Downside will be unsustainable ( not capable of being prolonged or continued ).

Focus on Jesus and let him lift you Up !!!

May God Bless Your Day and Lift You Up !!

Depression

Hello Hello-

Depression,,, we have all been there and felt to lack of “something” “anything” when depressed !! There are lots of examples of cure’s to depression,, i.e. ,,, positive thinking,,, change your schedule,,, call a friend or loved one,,, do something, anything, different in your life,,, get drunk (bad idea) ,,, get loaded (another bad idea),,, run away ( hard to outrun yourself )!!! So what works ???

Well I can tell you I have had some very depressing times in my life including “me caused” or ” life caused” or “getting younger caused”,,, but the result is always the same,,, you have to get over it and move forward !!! So what have I found that works for me ???

GIVING ,,,, Yes Giving !!! Give freely to someone with no strings attached !!! It can be a gift,,, lunch,,, time,,, friendship,,, being there,,, ride,,, companionship,,, love,,, anything from your heart !!! Just do it with no intensions/expectations of anything in return !!!

I tell you what ,,, in my experience,,, it is hard to stay depressed after you give to someone and feel the reaction and the joy in your heart !!! Doesn’t have to cost a penny !!!

Next time you are a little or lot depressed,,, give it a try and wipe out the feeling of depression so you can get back on track and move forward !!!

Thanks and May God Bless Your Day and renew you after depression !!!
