Rebel. Matthew 5:8

Posted on by Just broken

Matthew 5:8 (NLT)
8 God blesses those whose hearts are pure, for they will see God.

Daniel 9:9 (NLT)
9 But the Lord our God is merciful and forgiving, even though we have rebelled against him.

Psalm 16:8 (NLT)
8 I know the Lord is always with me. I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me.

Even when I rebel against him. I pray for those in open rebellion, and I pray for us who while not in open rebellion are rebelling nonetheless. May we see our rebellion and ask for correction.

May our efforts be pure, may our hearts be pure in submission to God, to the will and direction of Christ. May we be the vessels we’re called to be. May we be people of action in God’s will to make the difference He calls us to make.

Psalm 90:17 (NLT)
17 And may the Lord our God show us his approval and make our efforts successful. Yes, make our efforts successful!

May our rebellion be turned toward the world and not Christ.

I Love The Father, Son and Holy Spirit and the blessings He has poured into my life. I pray that I live a life that glorifies Him in all I do, but I fail every day, many, many, many times. I have come here through brokenness, a trail of pain and broken promises that I've created through my self centeredness, self will and arrogance. For those I've hurt, please forgive me for what I did. Those things that I remember I am truly sorry I did them. I wish I could undo them. I can't. I use these lessons as motivation to be a builder, to take those experiences and hopefully keep someone else out of their own similar experiences. I love my wife, my children, my family, my friends, my strangers, and those the world would like to dismiss as an unfortunate error messing up worldly perfection. I get frustrated with all of the above too, for I am broken, not like God. Lord, give me your wisdom, your patience, and knowledge of your will for me and the strength to carry that out in all I do. I believe we have work to do while we are here and need to be actively engaged in allowing God to work through us. A Christian is someone who does what The Father, Son and Holy Spirit calls them to do, a builder not a taker, a conduit not a pinnacle, humble and serving. Micah 6:8 Matthew 25:31-46
