Hi Brother, missed you the other day. Havent
had much time to spend here so I sort of stop by and read a few quick lines here and there. When not at work, I have had projects at home. Did manage to get some fishing in last week however. Got into some nice slab crappies! ....[X(]Than the snow started, yes snow
God Bless my friend,
You will be tickled to hear what happened to me 10 minutes ago...I got up and read my Bible this morning and turned to Romans 4..I read about Abraham being justified by fatih alone..BUT I said Lord...this does not work with James chapter 2...I'm confused..I know Romans 4 is not about the works of the law because Abraham was 400 years before the law...
Then about 10 minutes ago the Lord spoke to my heart to read Psalm 31..I had no idea what that Psalm said..here it is..
Psalm 311In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness.
"deliver me in THY righteousness."..the lights came on !!! It's been God in me at work through me all this time..as Ephesians 2 says " Not of works lest any man should boast..for we are HIS WORKMANSHIP!!1 John mentions 32 times.."YE KNOW" YE ARE OF GOD BECAUSE HIS SPIRIT WORKS IN YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Blessed be to God!!! my work now...to let God work through me and stop hindering the gospel through foolishness...as Jesus said,"The Spirit is willing but the flesh is weak." In summary.BY GRACE WE ARE SAVED" the righteousness is not ours..It is God's ...beleive it and your faith climbs to a 10
God bless brother,

PS I'm happy for ya about those fish..God is wonderful..I thank God I don't get convicted about hunting and fishing..those are wonderful times indeed.
My friend,
I've never been so happy in my life..I really don't even know how to behave..there is nothing like knowing that God loves you..I am truly free.
Gdo bless..I appreciate the seeds and influence you have been in my life...Grace seems too good to be true..It has to be revealed I reckon..I mean when one looks honestly in a mirror..can you blame that person for doubting God's love..YET ..He does love us..to the utmost..enough to take our punishment..I love Him so much..Honestly ..I know I've been touched for I have zero annomosity toward anyother on here..his love is overwhelming.."It's shed abroad in our hearts."It's an over flowing well...of living water
God bless,
C7
