It's not about what we can go out and discover, but rather what we can re-discover within ourselves that has always been there. Kenneth, Yes indeed, I am with you on this.

We are told to grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Savior.But what we have to ask ourselve's is,what does the knowledge of our Savior do for us?I used to think that i had to learn more about jesus,this to me was growing in my knowledge about him.But the way that i see that now is,that it is not me growing in my knowledge of him.But growing in his knowledge about me,and what he know's about me.Are you with me here cliff?Jesus has a great knowledge about us all cliff that is why he sent his spirit of grace into all our heart's causeing us to cry out, "abba Father" For that is who he is our Father.If we think that all our thought's about him will lead us to some spiritual high.Then we are still blinded in our thought's to our true indentity.It is when the mind begin's to comprehend the savior's knowledge about us.That is when the heart and the mind become's established in grace.And that is where we find true peace and rest.Then as you have said,we can be the master of our own thought's. Looking forward to the next post. Send my love to your Family.

Jesus constantly dealt with the self righteous and yet what kept him at peace was He knew who He was. He knew he was perfect in God's eyes and he never doubted that because of what others thought about him. Yes, I know this is not easy because we have all been indoctrinated with the idea that we have to DO or BELIEVE something to be OK in God's eyes, but the beginning of taking control of your thoughts is to remember that at every point from your beginning of physical life until it's end you are loved perfectly by your Creator. As you believe this more and more those kinds of people will run off of you like water off a ducks back. Hang in there my friend.

How's this for "perfect": Just yesterday an elderly lady who lives in my neighborhood was out walking, and stopped by to quiz my wife & me as to who we were, how we liked living in our new home (only lived there 1 year & don't know many folks), etc, etc. Well, it wasn't two minutes into the conversation, this lady asks "Where do you all go to church?", as if she just assumes everybody goes to church. Something in me that is obviously not my perfect creation felt like telling her to kiss my ass; what damn business is it of hers who I am or where I do or don't go to church? Nosy people, I can't stand them!!! I walked away with one of my children when she asked her question, and didn't talk to her anymore. I let my wife finish talking with Mrs. Rigtheous. Apparently, this question was as important to her as anything she could think of, because she went on & on with my wife about church things. (My wife still attends church services sometimes). Anyhow, it left me in a pissy mood for the rest of the day. I guess I let things get under my skin too easily.
