Stay with it.<br /><br />And <i>thank you</i> so much for recognizing the Source of any understanding and love found here. It is all Him.

If you deeply, passionately loved someone and saw them in a life-threatening situation from which you had power to rescue them, would you do so at cost of your own life?<br /><br />Would you be less willing if that someone was one rather than many? Or many rather than one?<br /><br />The Lord's love for us is great enough that He comes to dwells within us. He suffers whatever we do, <i>from the inside.</i> His suffering for us did not end at Calvary.<br /><br />Likewise, in our close fellowship with Him, suffering becomes a privilege. He shares with us His griefs, as a closest friend might.Anne Lang Bundyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02998809463390846323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920734279360907280.post-24362496377352980132009-12-11T12:16:47.683-05:002009-12-11T12:16:47.683-05:00ut-oh. this prompts a question. do you think tha...ut-oh. this prompts a question. do you think that Christ would die on the cross for you alone? i don't believe He would do it for me alone.unnamed ladhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00147841736324054200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920734279360907280.post-13505364615695887022009-12-07T20:56:20.815-05:002009-12-07T20:56:20.815-05:00T.

We are citizens of Heaven.<br /><br />Natasa, it's all a matter of to whom we give more attention, and who has captured our hearts.<br /><br />Gwen, what does it take for us to understand the Tyranny of Self? You've so deftly nailed it for what it is.<br /><br />Wendy and Russell, I know of no other principle which has enabled me to so clearly see both sin and forgiveness. When David speaks in Psalm 51 of sinning "against only" God, it becomes clear that not only does God own the sin done to me, but the sin I do to anyone else,<br />because<br />He <br />owns<br />us.Anne Lang Bundyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02998809463390846323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920734279360907280.post-63003691977401218082009-12-07T20:23:46.050-05:002009-12-07T20:23:46.050-05:00Anne, I have not thought about Jesus owning insult...Anne, I have not thought about Jesus owning insults directed at me. Lately I have been visualizing Jesus standing next to me in different situation, while they are unfolding. <br /><br />Next time I am being attacked or perceive I am being attacked, I will visualize Jesus literally standing in front of me . . . and see what happens...<br /><br />Thanks -Russell Hollowayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04257247185461047076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920734279360907280.post-85633704885551888582009-12-07T08:31:05.734-05:002009-12-07T08:31:05.734-05:00I know I've read it.
