Christiancowboy1 View Profile History	A Little Tid Bit Posted : 8 Mar, 2010 08:42 PM Col. 3:21 Fathers do not nag your children. If you are too hard to please, they may want to stop trying. This little verse has meant alot to me for along time. It May seem like a little verse to you, but it has a hug meaning. It shows that if we are too hard others, they will believe they can never measure up or achieve the goals we require of them. In this same way, God knew we could not measure up. Therefor, he had compassion on us, with patience and understanding. For God sought and lifted us up with love through Christ. Even though we did not measure up, he showed us his total exceptance for us. In this same way, we should seek to lift up others and our children more then we seek to always be correcting them. Children and people know what is right. They are seeking exceptance, and love. When they know they are totally excepted and loved unconditionally, they will try harder to please and do the right things they know to do. I have to say, the Lord sure does work totally the opposite from the ways and thinking of the world. Those who always seek to only correct and then love, will find they push others away, instead of drawing them. God uses love, not correction to draw us. God loved us first then he guides us with love. With God love is given freely, with the worldly thinking, it is always continuely having to be earned over and over again. I guess the little tid bit is not so little after all. Because just like the verse says, (which comes from him). Fathers do not nag your children. If you are too hard to please, they may want to stop trying. Isn�t it quit ironic how he (Our Father) does exactly the samething for us, he instructs us to do?

You see, many of us have been friends for years and enjoy the banter as much as anything else. Like Walter and I, we have argued the same things hundreds of times, and while it may not seem that way, we respect each other and our right to our opinions. It is mostly harmless and in good nature. Be blessed, my friend, Leon Post Reply

"(Our Father) does exactly the same thing for us, he instructs us to do?" God never begged us for His love or to be righteous. He only provided us the way and instruction, but He left the choice up to us, and still loves us anyway. God, unlike man....discplines us out of His love for us, whereas man often disciplines us because of mans "pride". ~ GraceMae Post Reply

Christiancowboy1 View Profile History	A Little Tid Bit Posted : 9 Mar, 2010 10:38 PM Well Leon, I was given a spirit of debate, but a spirit of truth, aand peace in all things. I am led by the spirit to write and encourage others, not to show or debate that I am great, but that he is great. You could say this not my first rodeo posting and blogging. I come in peace and love only. Blessings, David Post Reply
Christiancowboy1 View Profile History	A Little Tid Bit Posted : 9 Mar, 2010 10:45 PM I meant to say i was (not) given a spirit of debate. Thx for the heads up though. I know that the Lord can use one thing and it have a different meaning and purpose to people. I have read the word alot and will get one thing from a verse one time and then another thing another time. It is all the Lord's will and purpose for me each time. I just except it and give him praise in all things. Blessings, David Post Reply
