Ecclesiastes 10 -12; Psalm 94; Ephesians 5

What if I'm wrong
what if I'm right

the confusion still reigns with a quiet resolution of 'whatever'..... I know what I think I know.....is what I 'think' I know making me softer?
why is that the be all, end all in my mind??
I don't know but it is.....I want to protect and I want to BE protected.......

Ecc. 12: 12-13 But regarding anything beyond this, dear friend, go easy. There's no end to the publishing of books, and constant study wears you out so you're no good for anything else. The last and final word is this:
Fear God.
Do what he tells you.
14 And that's it. Eventually God will bring everything that we do out into the open and judge it according to its hidden intent, whether it's good or evil.

Before this he talks about enjoying God in our youth....I didn't....I didn't know, avoided knowing because I thot the knowing killed enjoyment.....what a load of crap....I have a daughter trapped by this thinking.....her creativity bound in her avoidance of Him and His direction....what I showed her breaks my heart.....what I modeled to her makes me so sad.....a life lived in GRACE, drenched and enjoying she didn't see.....

Eph. 5: 1-2 Watch what God does, and then you do it, like children who learn proper behavior from their parents. Mostly what God does is love you. Keep company with him and learn a life of love. Observe how Christ loved us. His love was not cautious but extravagant. He didn't love in order to get something from us but to give everything of himself to us. Love like that.

alot more there but for this morning in the softness taking this.....to be soft and love extravagantly.....please Help me Father....please.
