O LOVE THAT WILL NOT LET ME GO

" ONE LINERS FOR YOUR SOUL" & ONE A DAY

   Take these seeds of thought below and turn THEM into a wisdom tree.

A Dangerous Experiment Called Prayer

Would you be willing to conduct an experiment that could make you feel better

than you have felt for a long, long time?  Is it difficult?  Yes.  Mind boggling? Yes. 

Doable? Yes!

Spend the next 90 seconds praying that God will help someone who has recently

hurt you. 

Pray to be able to forgive someone who has done something to you that is unforgivable. Pray for that person who gave you the finger on the highway this morning.

Pray for that wife, husband, child or friend who made you unhappy.  Pray for the boss or

co-worker(s), who make your existence unbearable.  Pray for the unlovable.

I accept the fact that you think I'm crazy to suggest it.  I do, however, have to remind you that it isn't my idea but the Lord's.  And just remember, the consequences of your anger are far worse than whatever were the causes of it.

George Matheson who wrote, “O Love That Wilt Not Let Me Go” went blind at an early age.

The woman he loved most almost tore his life in two.

But George Matheson still wrote this magnificent hymn.

Beethoven, great master of music, at the very summit of his career went stone deaf. He could not even hear his own last symphony played, but Beethoven did not run over in a corner and pout or play out the rest of his existence in an extended nothingness.

Rather, he stayed in the stream of life writing even more brilliantly than before.

Henry Van Dyke who knew his share of pain wrote…

“With eager heart and will on fire,
I sought to win my great desire.
“Peace shall be mine, “I said, but life
Grew bitter in the endless strife.

My soul was weary, and my pride
Was wounded deep. To heaven I cried
“God give me peace or I must die.”
The dumb stars glittered no reply.

Broken at last I bowed my head
Forgetting all myself and said;
“Whatever comes His wil be done,”
And in that moment peace was won.

They loved life and met their challenges with action and attitudes that said “I will give my best even on those days I feel my worst.” And we are blessed by such fortitude as were they.

"Be Wise"
“Be very careful, then, how you live--not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is.” Ephesians 5:15-17

Is Your Love For God Only Puppy Love?

What if God’s love for us was no deeper than puppy love? 

Would He have sent Jesus to earth to die upon a cross?  Would puppy love put up with us as we persist in living OUT OF SORTS WITH HIS WILL AND WAY, and still forgive?  Thanks be to God that His love is mature and everlasting.  Not puppy love!

This is a long ago story…

He was the founder of a flourishing Christian community in India, although he had never been out of England.

To the amazed listeners he said that when he was five years old he wanted to give a penny to the missionaries but strongly objected to putting it in a brown box.

He had no proof that it ever went abroad.The local minister was a friend of the family and also the friend of an Indian missionary. So the minister, to please the child, sold him a copy of the New Testament for his penny and directed the boy how to post it to the missionary in India, having first written on the flyleaf an inscription giving the name of the boy.

The missionary gave it to a poor native who had walked miles through the jungle to procure a testament, but who couldn’t afford to buy one.
Nothing was heard of the incident for twenty years.

Then another missionary, preaching in a jungle village to people whom he thought had never previously heard the gospel message, noticed that his words were causing excited delight.

Pausing in his preaching to ask questions, the preacher found that the people knew a great deal about Christ and that many were serving him.

No preacher had ever been to the village before.

The little Christian community had been born through the love and life of the native who had been given the Testament…the Testament which was sold for a penny to a child of five.

“We are therefore Christ's ambassadors…” Corinthians 5:20

EXCESSIVE PRIDE

" ONE LINERS FOR YOUR SOUL" & ONE A DAY

       Take these seeds of thought below and turn THEM into a wisdom tree.

      Don’t believe in the count of ten.  Everyone gets knocked down, but everyone

 

doesn't lie there and allow themselves to be counted out.  With your face in the mud, it

does take courage to roll over and stare at the stars, but remember that courage is not the absence of fear but the mastery of it.

Excessive Pride must always sit at the head of the table.

One young snob suggested that excessive Pride was really only “Enlightened selfishness.”

Excessive Pride is the donkey that carried Christ into Jerusalem and thought that all the loud hosannas were for him.

Excessive Pride stands in the vestibule of the church and does not say, “Let me tell you what my Lord has done for me.”

Rather, it shouts, “Let me tell you what I have done for the Lord. Indeed, let us see if I can find my pedestal; I always speak better when I am standing up there.” Excessive Pride is a loud mouth that doesn’t know when to shut up.

What are the causes of Excessive Pride ?

Excesive Pride of birth? Was not Christ the Son of a carpenter?

Excessive Pride of wealth? Did not Jesus have but one seamless garment to his His name?

Excessive Pride of reputation? This Son of man, did He not eat with publicans and sinners?
Excessive Pride of self? In the garden, did not this Master Workman of the race pray, “Not my will but Thine be done.”

Excessive Pride in death? Was not “Jesus the Nazarene” crucified on a cross between two thieves?

“Humble yourselves [feeling very insignificant] in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you [He will lift you up and make your lives significant].” James 4: 10

FOOLS COME IN SMALL PACKAGES THAT CONTINUE TO SHRINK RIGHT BEFORE EVERYONE’S VERY EYES (more on envy)

" ONE LINERS FOR YOUR SOUL" & ONE A DAY

    Take these seeds of thought below and turn THEM into a wisdom tree.

     

  It is important to stretch, but not tear, our emotional and spiritual ligaments.  To make our goals realistic. To pray for perfection while realizing that we will never be good enough to be our own Savior.

Don’t be a tide.  Too many people let their goals ebb and flow.  They go from high tide to mud flats.  With no persistent consistency, they may sparkle in the sun but stink in the dark.

Mascagni hated Toscanini, one of the greatest conductors of all time.

They had never met but he was so envious it would sometimes make him ill for days on end. He could not stand the thought that anyone would think Toscanini better than or even equal to him.

And then one day there came to be a gala festival in Milan honoring the composer, Verdi.

Both men were asked to conduct.

Mascagni’s response was to be expected. “I will not conduct unless I am paid more than my rival. It need be no more than one libra but it must be more.

The management agreed.

The festival was a success.

Mascani received his fee…at least one lira more…in fact that is all he received, for Toscanini had conducted free of charge.

The Bible is full of case histories concerning Envy.Cain and Abel, Joseph and his coat of many colors, Christ and the Chief Priest and Scribes.

There is, of course, Christ’s parable of the elder brother at the redemption of the Prodigal Son.

Envy is not kind. The Canterbury Tales were quite correct when they represented envy as “sorrow at other men’s goodness or joy at other men’s sorrow.”

“ But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,” (Galatians 5:22-26.)

********************************************************************

 

Paul fully sensed that envy and pride were like a gruesome twosome, standing on a corner, plotting against their next victim.

In Christopher Marlowe’s play “THE TRAGICAL HISTORY OF DOCTOR FAUSTUS” Envy defines itself. It says, “ I am Envy. Begotten of a Chimney sweep and an Oyster wife. I cannot read and wish, therefore, that all books were burnt. I am lean with seeing others eat.

Oh, that there would come a famine, through all the world, that all might die, and I, live alone. Then thou should see how fat I would be.

Envy is a God-complex. It is the self- appointed Kingship. It refuses the right of any other individual to have more talent, more money, more intelligence, more of anything.

St Thomas Aquinas said, “Envy is the direct opposite of mercy” and if this is true then Mercy must be the antidote for this terrible sickness.
If Energy is self-love, coupled with fear…then mercy must be other-love coupled with compassion.

If envy cannot stand for others to prosper, then mercy must rejoice in others prosperity.

A heart at peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones. (Proverbs 14:30)

              Take these seeds of thought below and turn THEM into a wisdom tree.

    

A Formula To Make Yourself Perfectly Miserable

1.        Dwell on your troubles and in the process, double and triple them.

2.        Nourish your grievances until the miniscule becomes mountainous.

3.   Believe that happiness can be achieved by chasing it.

  4.        Put selfishness in all things at the top of your priority list.

5.   Take no responsibility for anything anywhere at any time.

6.   Always insist on your rights with arrogance.

Obviously, the exact opposites will have the exact opposite results.

Can we learn from this?

How can we help but learn from this?

What will we do with the learning?

The liberals and the conservatives were at each others throats. Both sides were blessed with love of liberty, but neither side was willing to give it to the other.

They treated non-essentials as a matter of life and death.

One side argued for the spiritually irrelevant custom of fasting; the other side  created long-winded debates about special dates and seasons.

They fought over Sabbath days and servants, old customs and new innovations. Instead of living together as Christian, they fought like pagans.

When Envy got tired, Pride took over. When Pride grew weary, Envy stood ready, to take up the cudgel, again. Into the MIDST OF THIS FOOLISHNESS, STEPPED THE Apostle Paul, saying in essence, “Hope, love, faith, these are what count. If you’ve got all that energy to burn, don’t waste it arguing among yourselves. Go out and argue against the pagan. Go out and argue for God.”

“For where envying and strife [is], there [is] confusion and every evil work.” James 3:16.

Build a king-sized belief system.  Believe that even if you may have trouble moving the proverbial mountain, with God's help you can be a first class shaper of molehills.  And, yes, one day you may well move that mountain in a glorious whoopee time.

The moral behind all of this?  Believe in yourself.  Believe in yourself.  Believe in ourself.  By the brace and grace of God, BELIEVE IN YOURSELF!

I did not write what I share below. I was not there in some person’s study or living room or at the foot of a tree as they penned the lines…but they are priceless and their thought has survived.

What a blessing.

“When a man loves faith in God, he worships humanity; when faith in humanity fails he worships science, as so many are trying to do today.
When faith in science fails, man worships himself, and at the altar of his own idolatry he receives a benediction of vanity.

Hence the tedious egotism of our day, when men and women are self-centered and self-obsessed, unable to get them selves off their hands.”

He was an old and selfish and self-centered and he prayed…

Lord, bless e and my wife,
my son John and his wife,
us four, no more.

And down the street a childless couple prayed…

Lord, bless us tow,
and that will do.

Around the corner an old bachelor set a prayer in motion…

Lord, bless only me,
that’s as far as I can see.”

And then there is the prayer that is prayed or a prayer much like it…and it is a blessing to all who are touched by it or participate in itl

“Lord help all who live upon this earth
and give them faith and proper mirth.
From day to day help me to daily see their needs
and have no bad thoughts that are mental weeds.

Romans 15:1 “We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.”

One day a farmer hired a man. He asked him to paint the barn. He estimated it would take three days…

The man did it in one day.

Then he asked him to cut up a pile of wood. He estimated that it would take four days…

The man did it in one day.

Then he asked the man to sort a pile of potatoes. He wanted them divided into three groups; one pile that he could use for seed potatoes;
One pile that he could use to sell;
One pile to use to feed the hogs.

He estimated that he would do that in one day.
At the end of the day he went to see the man to see how he had done.

He had not even started on the pile.

The farmer asked what was wrong and the man said, “I can work hard but I can’t make decisions.”

How are you at making up your mind?

Are you one of those who weigh the good and the bad and then are afraid to look at the scale?

Are you one of those who are good at discussion but a failure at decision?

Do you sit before the fact of life, afraid both to do better and be better because it requires you coming to a conclusion?

There is a hymn and many of you who are reading this have sung it. Sing it again…or at the very least say it again and again.

I’LL GO WHERE YOU WANT ME TO GOD, DEAR LORD,
O’ER MOUNTAIN, OR PLAIN, OR SEA;
I’LL SAY THAT YOU WANT ME TO SAY, DEAR LORD,
I’LL BE WHAT YOU WANT ME TO ME.

“You will guard him and keep him in perfect and constant peace whose mind [both its inclination and its character] is stayed on You, because he commits himself to You, leans on You, and hopes confidently in You.”
Isaiah 26: 3

Luther Burbank, a patient master student in the world of plants, in the kingdom of Gods’ greenery discovered that every week is a potential flower; that the very qualities that make it a week could make it a beautiful thing to behold.

The same is true of man and woman.

There is really such a thin line between a devil and a saint.
All are born with innocence…yet one becomes a Hitler who lives to conquer and to kill…
And another becomes a Florence Nightingale to heal.

One becomes a Judas who betrays
And another becomes a Paul who becomes an emissary for God.

One becomes your neighbor, better than you…worse than you.
One moves toward heaven.
Another slings toward hell.

The great evangelist Spurgeon spruced up a good and god driven thought when he said, “Be great believers. Little faith will bring your souls to heaven, but great faith will bring heaven to your souls.”

Phillipians 2:5
” Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus…”

WHAT’S SO GREAT ABOUT CHRISTIANITY

" ONE LINERS FOR YOUR SOUL" & ONE A DAY

       Take these seeds of thought below and turn THEM into a wisdom tree.

        Is it possibly true that we all need, from time to time, to become as little

children again? 

   

Does an inability to relax or recreate, to balance between job and jog,

make us a dull and exhausted member of the human race?

There are those who brag that they haven't taken a real vacation in twenty years

and work twelve hours days.  Is that an echo of your work ethic?  Then remember that we

do not live by excessive labor alone.  You have a moral obligation to use the gift of time

wisely in a way that best benefits you and those around you.  And you have an obligation to remember that just as religion feeds the soul, leisure gives the soul a chance to remember it is hungry.

One day, many years ago, a boy ran away from home and became a seaman.

It was a hard life and he became hard himself.

Then one day, while in port, he entered a church and at the service the sermon so moved him he gave his life to Christ.

Who he had been and what he became were two different people. In time he became a minister himself.

One morning as he was preaching another young man did as he had done many years before, decided to come to church on that particular day and hearing the sermon was so inspired he decided to enter the ministry.

This second young man’s name was Thomas Scott.

In turn, Thomas Scott became an influence to a man named William Cowper who wrote hymns such as O For A Closer Walk with God, There is a Fountain Filled with Blood, etc.

The hymns of William Cowper inspired William Wilberforce who led the fight to end England’s role in the trafficking of slaves.

We are all Johnny Apple seeds of the mind; sowing seeds, reaping all kind of lives for good, fairly good or not so good at all.
