As I hear, I judge, and my judgment is just, because I seek not my own will but the will of him who sent me.
* what things do I think I can do without God? Or what I am doing in my own will? John 8:28So Jesus said to them, "When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he, and that I do nothing on my own authority, but speak just as the Father taught me.John 14:10Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own authority, but the Father who dwells in me does his works.“ Jesus emptied Himself of His divine prerogatives as eternal deity and became a servant so that God might be all” His life was one of absolute submission, trust, and dependence on the Father”

one layer at atime Part17 (Story of dad

for a whole year they lived together, each day a layer of flesh was pilled away. His daughter had fought for years to get him to stop drinking. Wasn't God able she thought .But was he willing yield to Christ? The day came she said " God I will love him and accept this, I will honor as my father even if ever stops. God only you can change him. a week later her father came to her, I going to stop drinking. But this time I am going to God. God can keep from this. and he never drank until he died. He was on who loved to sit in the sun and work with his hands. If when he couldn't walk much he would go outside and sit in sun. But the day came when he got a hospital bed, more and more he rested in bed. This was when her father started to write letters.he called her in, listen to this what do you think?Jesus called out from among the crowd, for off in a distance was a blind man. The scriptures tell us that it was Bartimaeus, a blind beggar placed on the side of road. Maybe he was nobody of any importance, no worldly wealth, not a educated man and surly no one need listen to him, just a blind beggar. And as he sat there alone, in a world of darkness, a world despair, a world filled with broken promises, it was then he heard that it was Jesus that was coming his way. His world had left him blind and empty, but the thought of calling out to the son of David gave him hope. And he cried out, and made himself such a rucks so all could hear, and Jesus the son of the living God stopped and called out to him, and told him to simply come. As we fight with lives daily affairs, its easy to become so wrapped up, and to forget about the words of our savorier. To simply drop everything and just come. When I was young I would listen to my friends talk about the meaning of life. Very few of us really seemed to know anything and found our selves struggling with life problems. Little did I know about Gods gift towards mankind and that his only son, Jesus died so many years ago on the cross at calvary. His death and his resurrection brought a new hope and a new reunion with God. For life is a gift, a wonderful gift, and we all were created by a touch of the master hand. God redeemed his creation by sacrificing his only son, for the sins of mankind. We have been set free, longer subject to the conditions of bondage. Look no longer to worries of this world, but towards Jesus. Cast your doubts, your scattered relationships, your addictions, your fears ,and your broken hearts on him. Jesus is faithful to forgive us of our sins, if will simply come to him. Blind Bartimaeus cried out, and the son of a living God, the one that hung stars in the heavens above, stopped, and told him to come. When Bartimaeus heard the voice of Jesus, and the commandment to come, he dropped anything and ran towards his salivation, for he was still blind, but he did not need his eyes to guide him to the lamb of God. We all need the boldness that Bartimaeus had. He had not seen any of the miracles done by Jesus, but yet he responded with faith from the words he had heard. We all must over come our fears, and our doubts, and take that step to call on him. As I sit in my wheelchair, I wait to hear the voice of my master, and on great and wonderful day, all my struggles, all the sickness, all the worries, all the cares of this world will be forever left behind. I will leave this wheelchair, and start running towards my risen savorer, the King of Kings & Lord of Lords. Jesus said come to me, all of you that are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I ’am humble and gentle to your heart, and you will find rest in your souls. Matthew 11:28. Now rejoice my bothers and sisters for, soon and very soon, we are all going to see the King. Listen with your hearts, and fill your souls & minds with his holy words, and as you lay down lives daily struggles, take up his yoke, and find rest for your souls in the words of almighty God. I declare to you, that if you will simply call out on the name of Jesus, then the God that creator heaven and earth will stop and hear your cries. It did not matter what the crowds thought, for Bartimaeus had appointment with the living God. Lift up your hands and yours hearts this day and you will hear, Jesus saying, if you are in need of comfort, in need of a new life, a need of rest, then simply come to me.. Your brother in Christ...

He was a poor man, but rich in simple faith he was growing in. He would offer his shoes if you needed them. It was said that when he was young right after Christmas, he just gotten new boots. When they walking he saw a man with none. He took them off and gave them to him. He told his daughter do what I couldn’t do. Go where I am not able to. I see now that living for God is the only way. Preach Christ don’t give up. But still he got drunkeach night. He said that the pain from the cancer was so bad, he rather drink it way. God was pressing hard and apply heat to make him in a treasured jewel.
