Treasure the Truth

Well I guess it is about time to add to my blog again…..I haven’t written much lately, because I have been doing some thinking….thinking relative to why I was doing my blog !! Was it to encourage others ….I think so! That is good !! Was it to share what the Lord had laid on my heart….I think so! That is good too!! Was it to demonstrate my spirituality….I think so !! That is probably not so good !!  I think that is part of why I was writing then….tho’ hopefully not why I am writing today. …I pray it is not.  Because I am sure that the last reason was not pleasing to the One I am suppose to be writing this blog for and about. As a matter of fact, it is no longer too pleasing to me either! I can’t prove how spiritual I am….that has to flow from my heart and be seen by those who read my words.

Most all of my life I have lived in a Christian home, a Christian environment…with the Lord as the center of my life. I firmly believe that without Him I could do nothing and that with Him all things are possible. And I do believe that with all my heart. But I also know that at times my heart is deceitfully wicked and it blinds me to the truth of the matter. So, that is what I think has happened and why my blog has gotten stuck in the mud, so to speak! Because my focus was on who was reading my blog and what they had to say…how many followers I had and who they were. Writing my blog was a good thing but a good thing done for the wrong reasons is still sin …..Whew, that said, I feel a bit better!  I think so ! It is never easy to look at the sin in our own lives but knowing the faithfulness and forgiveness of my Lord helps a lot. He understands that we are frail and human and HE LOVES US anyway…. How can we not love a God like our God ??

You know, saying those two earlier statements brought a song to my heart and my lips! In fact it brought two…One is an older song "Without Him"
Without Him I could do nothing…Without Him I'd surely fail
Without Him I would be drifting….Like a ship without a sail
Oh Jesus, oh Jesus Do you know Him today Please don't turn Him away
Oohh, Jesus, My Jesus Without Him how lost I would be

One is a newer song by Hillsong “All Things are Possible”

Your praise is always on my lips, Your Word is living in my heart,

and I will praise You with a new song, my soul will bless You Lord.

You fill my life with greater joy, Yes I delight myself in You

And I will praise You with a new song, My soul will bless You Lord

When I am weak You make me strong… When I'm poor, I know I'm rich

For in the power of Your name ..All things are possible

So am I going to continue my blog…..I think so. I trust that I have the right attitude and a clean heart now….and also that I will be writing for all the right reasons this time . I also trust the Lord to show me when I am not writing for the right reasons…I want to bring honor and glory to Him alone. HE is such a TREASURE…a Traceable, Trustable Treasure
