Anyone wish you could hear other's thoughts or that yours were audible??? Yeah.... that would be a disaster.
I was enlightened to see how this passage demonstrates how Jesus is concerned with what is going on in our hearts and minds. Beth's statement that "He holds us responsible for what we say to ourselves," rung true and was sobering for me at the time I read it... and even more so today. How is your self-talk? Are you speaking to yourself the way Jesus would want you too? Me? If today is any indication, I need some help with this. I'm actually thanking God for stopping me in my tracks because, I really messed up yesterday and have been telling myself what an idiot I am. Would Jesus call me an idiot? No. Would he want me to call anyone an idiot? No.
"You know what beloved? Dirt is dirt, and we've all got it no matter where we come from. I'm not sure Christ sees one kind of dirt as dirtier than another. One thing is for sure: His blood is able to bleach any stain left by any kind of dirt." Thank you Jesus!!!
I got a lot out of this day... more than I feel like blogging about right now. I loved that Jesus wanted a kiss. He enjoys our affection.
Anyone want to share what you think loving God with all your mind means?
