It actually has had a great deal of impact on me re-ordering our lives, and especially my marriage. Our prayer (my wife's and mine) has been for grace to live a life centered on, dependent upon, praising the, living the gospel of our crucified, buried, and risen Savior, Jesus.nunnkindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01704881913640824635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3563948728142405444.post-18693235260378094342010-04-16T11:22:06.402-04:002010-04-16T11:22:06.402-04:00Amen.

God is in control. Don't mistake strengths for weaknesses and vice versa.<br /><br />If your conscience convicts you of an area in your life, then give that up - if it is pride, then put yourself in situations where you have to let it go. They don't call it "practicing Christianity" for no reason ;)<br /><br />Sometimes, I think we see God as standing with His arms crossed and a frown on His face tapping His foot in impatience. I know I'm guilty of that too often.<br /><br />We don't take anything from, or add anything to God by our day to day actions. A sheep may frustrate a shepherd, but only to a point. The shepherd is not going to beat the sheep or let it go hungry or let the wolves get it (if He can help it - and I can only believe that He can indeed prevent it).<br /><br />Of course, it is infinitely more kind of the sheep to not go wandering off and causing difficulty for the Shepherd. :)<br /><br />God Bless you Mike. I enjoy your blog and our discussions :)<br /><br />ChrisChris Taylorhttp://sharpeningiron.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
