Loving Matthew

Reading through Psalms, and these verses have really stood out to me. "Who can discern his errors? Forgive my hidden faults. Keep your servant also from willful sins; may they not rule over me." Psalm 19:12-13

Morning

“The Lord our God hath shewed us his glory.”

- Deu_5:24

God’s great design in all his works is the manifestation of his own glory. Any aim less than this were unworthy of himself. But how shall the glory of God be manifested to such fallen creatures as we are? Man’s eye is not single, he has ever a side glance towards his own honour, has too high an estimate of his own powers, and so is not qualified to behold the glory of the Lord. It is…

Morning

“Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God.”

- 1Th_1:4

Many persons want to know their election before they look to Christ, but they cannot learn it thus, it is only to be discovered by “looking unto Jesus.” If you desire to ascertain your own election;-after the following manner, shall you assure your heart before God.

Romans 8:26

Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

Once, when my father was hospitalized, I remember driving as fast as I could to the hospital to see him because his condition was deteriorating rapidly. I was just sobbing in my car on the way there. I didn’t know what to pray.…

His Calling, Your Calling?  Matthew 9.9-13 



I remember how my mother used to relate stories from her youth, waxing nostalgic as she did so—often with a far-away look in her eyes, as she talked about St. Jo, Mizzur-uh (Missouri), about growing up with ten children, and a mama who always had a song on her tongue, usually an old hymn.

Distractions … from Spiritual Growth

Today I was with my corporate guys, who were willing to ‘stop the presses,’ in spite of all the work going on around them—emails, phonecalls and voicemails, pressing matters which vied for their attention--to carve out time to come together, look at God’s Word, and have their embers stoked into flames.…

A Time to Grow.

To everything there is a season, 



a time for every purpose under heaven: 



a time to be born, 



and a time to die; 



a time to plant, 



and a time to pluck what is planted; 



a time to kill, 



and a time to heal; 



a time to break down, 



and a time to build up; 



a time to weep, 



and a time to…

And those around us are pulled into the tide even if they don't want on this ride. Because of the choices we make we affect those around us every day. Speak love not hate. For…

Are we to far gone to stop this hateful path were on? Why is it so hard to show real love? Why would you rather pretend than live? Sooner or later the pains going to come. No matter how far or fast you run. You cant out run the FATHER. So instead of running from HIM try running  to HIM. Let HIM heal you so you can love again....REAL LOVE... TRUE LOVE...PURE LOVE......GODS LOVE.....
