Ezekiel 15-16; Psalm 70; Revelation 6

Just between YOU and me....Father
Just between You and me......
Not for me to teach or preach
Just between You and me.....

Just feels like a song is in there somewhere......the journey to a personal relationship with the God of the universe through Jesus Christ. A coming to know what a heartbreaker I am, let alone a rule breaker.

'And yet' ......'but' .....'what about' .........all of those self protective, all about ME , sinful stop gaps keep me from being free, totally and completely free to RISK EVERYTHING.......

Eze. 16: 63 Then, when I make atonement for you for all you have done, you will remember and be ashamed and never again open your mouth because of your humiliation, declares the Sovereign LORD.' "

And the song I Can Only Imagine comes to mind....

I KNOW I am going to heaven so LIVE LIKE THAT.......

what a crock you know all my stop gaps....and in Romans 2: 8 But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil, there will be wrath and anger.....

So I break your heart yes and yes and yes but it is SIN big old ugly ass SIN and I better realize that...... All these verses convicting me of being always about ME and I have to learn how to live ABOUT YOU.....

My sould cries...Selah! Thank you for my sister Becky...thank you for this truth...it ain't and never will be about me! Nope! Nope! Nope!

Yours Completely,
