If you write God on one hand and ________________ on the other hand (something that is important to you)....the hand w/God on it has to be first, hold it up right in front of your face...HAS to be first.....
on my other hand is 'fitting in'...whenever that hand, that god comes before YOU I am in trouble.....
I've been in trouble here lately....seeking a place to fit more than seeking You...seeking the approval of people more than You.....it's so sneaky too you know? I can think I'm about seeking You and Your face and all of a sudden I want someone to notice THAT....someone...anyone to admire or encourage that seeking....even a comment or two here becomes what I seek...then I'd fit.....and really ....really???
What You call us too, is about seeking You and Your face alone.....You are a jealous God and I know when I put anything else in front of You......I am in trouble....
what's on your other hand??
Everything in the reading today makes me weak in the knees....it's true....all of it...You are a God who saves and we are blessed to be in Your number.....it's not about 'fitting in'...or doing anything for God...He's done it and now.....seek Him and His face only....and because we can't we pray for each other.....
Hebrews 12: 18-21 Pray for us. We have no doubts about what we're doing or why, but it's hard going and we need your prayers. All we care about is living well before God. Pray that we may be together soon.
May God, who puts all things together,
makes all things whole,
Who made a lasting mark through the sacrifice of Jesus,
the sacrifice of blood that sealed the eternal covenant,
Who led Jesus, our Great Shepherd,
up and alive from the dead,
Now put you together, provide you
with everything you need to please him,
Make us into what gives him most pleasure,
by means of the sacrifice of Jesus, the Messiah.
All glory to Jesus forever and always!
Oh, yes, yes, yes.

The boiler room started from a group from our church (Metro Christian Fellowship) but I have never been down there.
I understand not "fitting".. it is hard to feel a part of any group.. I don't seem to fit in these days.
