If I surrender myself anymore I should quit school, which is selfish because I am better myself, and live in a homeless shelter helping out the unfortunate, or in some third world country never doing for myself, never speaking above a crowd, afraid to interept because of hurting my neighbors heart. I will also never tell a joke or tease because it could hurt someones feelings somewhere. I will never get anything done for myself. If we all lived for a fellow man then we could never learn anything for ourselves and none of the people we serve would "want".
I do not shout Gods name on the roof tops. Nor do I sing Gods praise aloud. In the past my love for God was weak but is stronger now than it has ever been. I will not have faith. I will have knowing. The knowing that God exists and his love is everlasting and ever-encompassing.
Either, Mustardseed, you are channeling something other than God or you are simply doing automatic writing, whereas you are letting your subconscious do the work and build a profile based on my posting. Your post was a direct response to my apparent impatienceness and seeming spiritual development.
You obviously have no idea who I am.
If I am always to put others first where does God come into the picture? Second? Is God the others he is refering to. I will always put God first regardless of my fellow man because only so much can be done... and no more. If Jesus had put his fellow man first when men were sinning inside the house of god he would not have ape crazy on them and God definitely wouldn't have summoned Moses to damage the Egyptians. If God is ever knowing through all times then he should go change what he told Moses to do and instead tell him to love his fellow man and surrender himself to the Egyptians as the Israelites did and were forced to.
Write now I am channeling love straight from God. Tears fill my eyes because of his presence as I write this. He doesn't doubt my love.
