Philippians 2

12-13 What I'm getting at, friends, is that you should simply keep on doing what you've done from the beginning. When I was living among you, you lived in responsive obedience. Now that I'm separated from you, keep it up. Better yet, redouble your efforts. Be energetic in your life of salvation, reverent and sensitive before God. That energy is God's energy, an energy deep within you, God himself willing and working at what will give him the most pleasure.



I don't get it....or maybe I get it and forget......?? I KNOW childlike is want you desire and I more naturally lean to childishness....



Check out Gabe here, he had just lost @Musical Chairs and threw himself on the ground in a fit... I wonder if that is not what I look like to God though not nearly as cute, way more stubborn and uncute...don't get me wrong I imagine He's more brokenhearted at my stubbornness....... but for purposes here I think I may be yet again coming out of a FIT and His grace, His energy deep in me keeps me going......working at what will give him the most pleasure....
