Theocentric Musings

But in my own life it was only when I came to the end of self-effort--when I saw that I couldn't do all the things that Christians are supposed to do--that I gave up and turned to the Lord. When a man turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. When we stop trying to do it ourselves and rest in Jesus, trusting Him in us to live the Christian life, we are no longer blinded by the veil. - Juan Carlos Ortiz

I used to be popular, I was cocky, it was almost like being a rock star. Everyone knew me or knew of me. Everywhere I hung out I took over. That all changed, I changed. Now to most I'm nobody. Some people don't even see me, I'm just a quiet guy in the crowd to them. But you know what? I'm happy being nobody to the world, because now I can be somebody to God. Thank you Lord.

In a half hour this gospel will be etched in my flesh, it has already been firmly entrenched unto my soul... John 14:6 Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."

No one can keep me down! I am responsible for my responses in life my attitudes and my decisions. Holy Spirit I ask for your help. You live in me and you are my Helper! I refuse to continue blaming others. I will respond to life with God's Word. I am responsible for my thoughts my actions and my REACTIONS. I abandon believing things are the fault of anyone else. I am more than a conqueror through God's great love.

Today I am thankful to God for giving me the strength to forgive myself so that I can forgive others. Forgiveness is a difficult thing but I was blessed to have a good friend guided by God to help me.

Vengeance is the way of the fool that doesn't realize that by not seeking revenge they have already won!
