I have been thinking deeply about homosexuality. (Not for me, but about "it")- does anyone ever consider how homosexuals use the rainbow as their emblem... when after God destroyed the earth because men were exceedingly wicked, He put the rainbow in the sky ... saying He would not destroy man again by flood...
Another thing I have been thinking about is how people, if they felt comfortable talking about their inner struggles, maybe homosexuality, or who knows, drug tempttation, anger issues.. all these things, maybe they could find real help. I think people, wheter Christian or not, get real uncomfortable when people begin confessing their Real problems. Mostly because they don't know how to handle them. But we should realize that wickedness is not uncommon to mankind. Jesus said the works of the flesh come out of men's hearts. Fornications, adulteries, thefts, murders, all manner of wickedness.
But... I really think and believe that just because you or I have a wicked thought, we do not neccessarily want to act on it. We do not even want the thought(s) whatever it or they may be.
So what should we do? Or what could we do?
Do you feel cpomfortable enough with anybody you know to be able to confess the worst possible thoughts you may have had to another living person? Or are you afraid they would judge or condemn you? I mean what about you, if someone confessed something horrendous, whether they were tormented by and idea or what if they actually DID something and felt BAD about it but needed help... how would you deal with it?
I mean, people, we need to be more compassionate with each other.. and love people no matter what. It is called unconditional love.
And it is the One and Only thing that will help ANYBODY and EVERYBODY to overcome the fall and the wickedness and the tempations of mankind.
All people need and truly truly desire is love, whether it be in the form of love, respect, appreciation, admiration, affection, recognition... whatever and everyform, it is truly wat people want.
(And need....... and desire......)
But WHY THEN ARE PEOPLE SO HESITANT TO GIVE IT? (love).
Why don't people love freely?
Are they afraid of who they love getting "the wrong idea" ?
Are they afraid of making someone else jealous?
Are they afraid of crossing boundaries, themselves?
How can we truly love others...?
Maybe they feel or think if they love they won't be loved in return.
I ddon't know what other people think....and I don't get too many comments here on this page. I don't know if that is a good thing or a bad thing but I don't write all this for the fun of it I believe I am dealing with some for-real issues here that I think about and pray about EVERY DAY.
I don't care what teh world says or what "man " or "woman" says...I believe in LOVE ... no, I am not talking about romance here though it does exists... I am talking about loving people the SECOND COMMANDMENT GOD GAVE HUMAN KIND! PEOPLE!
COMEON NOW!
Let's get with it! Why do w go around judging or feelin' like others are judging us when they probably arent!!!!!And even if they were or are.. is judging them back or shutting down or hating them or not talking to them (avoiding them) really gonna help the situation?
Why are we afraid to love people that are already loved?
Why are we afraid to show our true love?
We're afraid of getting hurt.. being hurt... hurting others....
I just found a quote in a book I got it's a book of proverbs on the Fruits of the Spirit... one of the quotes says:
"He who would have nothing to do with thorns should have nothing to do with roses"
We get hurt in life... we will no matter what.
We suffder sometimes, we cry... we have pain, it's part of life.
Solomon said with knowledge comes sorrow....
are you going to let pain or sorrow or hurts stop you from loving?
What about the love that doesn't stop.... or quit.. .and that does not get easily offended or stop loving because it was offended. We need to see that life is not about "us''. Yes, we are here and yes we're involved... we are alive. But there is a greater Cause, there is a greater ONE than us.
We do not live forever..... but there is One who does.
We should live our lives as though when we get old and are about to make our Final Journey Home, we can look on our lives and think, "YES, I did and said everything I wanted to... my days have been full of love and joy and peace. I have no regrets. I have been blessed. I have done good.''
The only thing that will satisfy you or anyone you know in life is love.
I truly believe this with all myheart.
Give love to someone you know today!
A post.script. note. about the homosexual thing I was thinking about ... Ihave heard women say when they have struggled with relationships that they "marry Christ". I have read inthe Bible.Paul talking about being married to Christ. And God Himself says He is married to the backslider.
When I think about homo's that wanna marry each other, I think, they should marry Jesus, instead.
I hope this doesn't offend you... but for real. What if you said that to a gay guy whao was flaunting his sin. King David said he cast down the wickedness of the wicked. So did Job.
And we gotta remember, people who are living in extreme wickedness do not truly like it.
They just don't know what it really feels like to be truly loved, cared for, believed in, stood up for, appreciated, understood. I'm not talking about understaniding sin, I'm talking about understanding pain.
Sin comes from a lack -
what?
A lack of LOVE.
Love people... you never know whose life you might change.
I think also (true) forgiveness, and (pure) humilty can sudue all manner of evil.

The Greatest Commandment
"Love the LORD thy God with all thy mind, heart, soul and strength..."
and
"Love thy neighbor as thyself".
Sounds easy, right? We make it harder than it should be, no?
How do you love the LORD thy God with all thy mind?
I'm not asking not knowing.. I am asking... you!!???
How do YOU love the LORD with all YOUR mind?
How do YOU love Him with all your HEART?
How do YOU love Him with all your SOUL?
How do YOU love Him with all your STRENGTH?
I can't answer these questions for you... only you yourself know what is in your heart and who you are... what you give (to God) is between you and Him.
But are you gonna' let things come between you and Him?
What I mean is....when you are in a crowd ... are you gonna' let fear of what other people think stop you from worshipping the KING?
David sais over and over in the Psalms that he shouts unto the LORD ... that he makes known HIS praise among the people.... He (David) danced naked in the streets of Jerusalem praising Our God!
And when his wife got mad.. he told her he planned on becoming even more undignified than that! (To honor God..)
Because it doens't matter what man thinks... it can be easy to get sucked into the trap of thinking that you have to please everybody...to keep peace or to keep people happy....
But if you are making people happy at the expense of drawing deeper into God... then I think you are paying a pretty high price.... and hurtin' for it too.
Why then do we sometimes stop ourselves from being who God calls us to be?
(criticisms...)
We are Called Out----We aren't supposed to be like everyone around us.
OH! AND .... If you're in a place where you DON'T feel the FREEDOM to WORSHIP the LORD the Way you should or desire to... then realize it is in YOUR ability to pull that stronghold down... and bring in God. See, He lives inside us.. and we carry Him where ever we go... You can move into the Presence of God... and you can move others into His Presence. We have to train our selves (Whole Selves-mind, heart, soul, strength aka will of the flesh) to hasten to be sensitive to the Holy Spirit... and not for us for Him.
We can bring down strongholds.
We can Worship the LORD.
Where the SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS, THERE IS LIBERTY.
Worship the LORD- Bless His Holy NAME. Glorfy the LORD thy God. For HE alone is WORTHY!

The Press
When it comes to men, I am so confused.
When I think about my life, and the things I have lost for Christ, and my ministry, I guess I feel, there is healing in the hurt...in the fact that I minister to people who will never have to go what I went through- yet I give myself for their life.
I am not jealous....I am not envious.
At a loss... to a greater gain.
I am deeply sorrowed by my own pain, and yet, because I'm in God's care, I am o.k. with it.....
Life so fragile, so powerful. So eternal, experienced in this flesh.
I praise my God~YHVH.
GOD ETERNAL. THE EVERLASTING GOD.

girls, boys, love, ...and wrestling.
People talk too much...they would rather talk and complain and judge others than watch and pray and do what needs to be done.
Boys always make me cry.
Keep walls up and be safe and unharmed, or let walls down and be hurt ?
Should we hope for something grand or just wait and see what happens?
Shall we test each others' hearts and see what is inside them? What to do if you should fail? What to do if I should win?
What does unconditional love mean to you?

Choice and Ability
I was reading an article and out of nowhere the idea of "choice and ability" came out of it to me.
I think it is easy to see the words choice and ability and think "she is talking about doing what you can..." or in other word, settling for less.
We humans have been given the "ability" to do great and mighty things. Some of us use our abilities, some do not. Some use them for good, some use them for evil. What we choose to do with our abilities is up to us. We can be selfish and try to satisfy our own self-gratifying cravings, or we can seek after God and ask Him what would He have us to "use" our "ability(s)" on...for Him.
I, personally beleive, that every part of who we (individually) are has a special and unique purpose and capacity to serve God with. I do not think that He created us without knowing that some things that we do for Him we enjoy, and some things we do for Him we do not always "enjoy". But we do them anyway, for a greater cause.
He knows this. For He created us this way.
I think, if we look at life and what we "do" with it (by our workings of our abilities), we can learn more about life, the LORD God, and each other, in ourselves. If we "reflect". (on the inside)
I think it helps us attain and achieve the Higher purpose of creation.
So, choice then, can be.... up to us. We all have "free will", or, aka, "the law of liberty".
We reap what we sow. Pressed down, shaken together running over shall be given back to us in full- according to how we do, and give. It could be time, money, time with the LORD, Bible-study, excersizing a habit, whether good or bad, because practice makes perfect.
("but only if you practice perfect" my Dad always said~)
So... what are your abilities? What are you going to do with them? What are your choices? What potential is there in you? In Life? in Love?
How far are you willing to go for what you want in this your life, or what you think you want?
Some reap 30, some 60, some 100 fold.
Let's strive to be the best we can be... and even if that means being humble, for our own sakes!
Be Blessed~
