Ezekiel 4 - 7; Revelation 3 (The Message)

My passion……it flares and embarrasses me……it flares and drives me…so far and then I stop and in my embarrassment I wait……..and then it flares and …….

passion for God…for lost people……not 'lost' in a judgmental way although that’s probably how it sounds but lost in …tears come to my eyes and I don’t know what to do and is loving YOU enough??? It has to be……it just has to be…….

Ezekial 7:27 I'll deal with them where they are, judge them on their terms. They'll know that I am God.'"
Not for me to DO anything……????
Judge them on their own terms…….CS Lewis says “There are two kinds of people: those who say to God, "Thy will be done," and those to whom God says, "All right, then, have it your way."


Revelation 3: 10"Because you kept my Word in passionate patience, I'll keep you safe in the time of testing that will be here soon, and all over the earth, every man, woman, and child put to the test.

Passionate patience ….I ‘think’ that’s where I’m at usually…that is whenever I’m not tyrannized by what I want…….

/Why pray, if He is sovereing and in control? Pray so that we may co labor with Him...so that we may share in His burden...that we may be a part of what He is that is bigger than we are...
and Thank God He cares enough to keep on working in us...

I'm definately that someone who God says ok have it your way...God is just pouring out to me left and right over this unemployement time and I've missed so much of it. It's new for me to sit back and take it in. My head is always ten steps ahead of me...

"Passionate patience ….I ‘think’ that’s where I’m at usually…that is whenever I’m not tyrannized by what I want……."...Passionate patience...what a fraze, what a term of unreality for me, but a deep desire!

"tyrannized by what I want" - I know that feeling. Great CS Lewis quote.
