dpg3 other then our tongue,I think, one of the second hardest things to control is our mind! The five senses God gave us,can sometimes lead to to feel helpless,and because of that,worthless, not only to family and friends,but to ourselves as well! Through many mistakes in my own life,I have found renewing ones mind through the Bible,and chooseing, yes chooseing God's Word over what is in plain sight,and smell and feeling leads us to victory rather then defeat! A well to do couple I met the other day,the man was a computer Genius,and gave his heart and soul and mind to the Lord,his wife,dressed very well, as well,but always complained about everything! Nothings was ever good enough or right enough for her,a friend of mine asked the man about his wife,saying you seem very content? what does your wife do for a living? his replay," OH my wife is a manufacturer!! OH!! said my friend what does she make? She makes other people unhappy, that is what she always manufactures! She does this,because she chooses to do this.MY MY!! Something for us to think about,with so many in such turmoil perhaps it is right to be thankful for what we do have!! Rather then spreading unhappyness to others,because of what we want.So for me,I am learning how to correct my mind as well,I am looking at how I can help another,encourge them,give them a rope,rather then yelling down to them I will pray for them. My rope I give to you, to give to your friend is this. Do one simple task,just one!! LOVE others as you would have them love you! rom 13:10 Love fulfills the entire law!! and that is not all love does!! it covers a mulitude of sin!! 1 Peter 4:8 When we take our mind off self, and put it on others,because we need this ourselves,we find our mind, becomes healed,by not only the Word of God,but by our own actions concerning the Word. Remember james 1:22?? Be ye what?? amen doers of the Word and not hearers only decieving our own selves!! the reason for this is explained in verse 23-27 If the man should ask but what is love anyway?? Please show him this 1 Cor 13:1, then verse 4-7 we are giving this man love for free here,we do not know your nephew,nor did Jesus know us,when he gave his very life for us,and rose again so we can have the choice, and not be made to serve. We love him,because Jesus first loved us,Jesus want him to live!! if he askes for prove cool!! show him prove!! John 15:16 Your nephew like us was born into this world,to bear good fruit,to encourge, as well as be encourged to love,even as he is loved by all of us!! My prayers are with you!! Rick is loved!! And he can see for himself he is loved so much!! that he is forgiven, even as we all are forgiven for our sins! I send Rick LOVE from Jesus,and from those of us,who follow his graceful loving, wonderful name!
