You are the innocence of a child, the heritage of a son, the wonder of creation, the counsel of true wisdom, the might of a word, the God of all, the everlasting outside of time, the Father of loving discipline, and the peace that surpasses understanding.

Why does the Lord want me to avoid gossip?

12/8/10 Does anyone want to live a life that is long and prosperous? Then keep your tongue from speaking evil and your lips from telling lies! Turn away from evil and do good. Search for peace, and work to maintain it. Psalm 34:12-14. Lord You work all things for good for those that love You and are called to Your purpose; Your good intention is for me to have a long and prosperous life. When I speak evil gossip it separates, I want to either speak in love or keep silent in confidence. Gossip is lies because it's only my side, love turns from the evil I can say to slam others to the good I can do for them or the silence I can keep to honor You. Peace brings us together; gossip causes wars that separate. You are the Prince of Peace; You give me peace I can't understand; help me to live a life that brings peace to others. http://chastityhead4God.blogspot.com

How can I be fruitful for the Lord?

12/6/10 Make every effort to respond to God's promises. Supplement your faith with a generous portion of moral excellence, and moral excellence with knowledge, and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with patient endurance, and patient endurance with godliness, and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love for everyone. The more you grow like this, the more productive and useful you will be in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Peter 1:5-8. Help me to have faith instead of fear; moral excellence instead of a blind eye; Your knowledge instead of worldly wisdom; self-control instead of self-gratification; patient endurance instead of impatient demands; godliness instead of self centeredness; brotherly affection instead of stranger indifference; love for all instead of just for my own. Fruitfulness is productive and useful for You not destructive and harmful to others. Make me fruitful. http://chastityhead4God.blogspot.com

How does the Lord ask me to forgive?

12/1/10 Do not judge others, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn others, or it will come back against you. Forgive others, and you will be forgiven. Luke 6:37. Lord as a child of God You don't judge my sins but whether my actions are for You, me or others. Forgive me for judging others words and actions. Lord You don't condemn me but offer me the free gift of eternal life. Forgive me for not sharing the gift of life enough with others but instead ignoring their condemnation of death. Lord You forgive me over and over. Forgive me for limiting my forgiveness of others that You freely give. I judge not wanting judgment; I condemn not wanting condemnation; I am forgiven not wanting to forgive. I am a saint that sins Lord use me to reach sinners to be saved. http://chastityhead4God.blogspot.com
