If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.
Colossians 3:1-4 AMEN!!!!!!
Corinthinans 10:5
We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.
So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. Do nothing from rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.
—Philippians 2:1-4
This verse stuns me with it's truth...circumstances lately (mostly me being self-centered and not Christ centered) have put me and my love on different sides of the street, so to speak. I going my way, and he going his. That is until this weekend, when an AMAZING thing happened. He went to the "Walk of Emmaus", a soul stirring, Christ facing, discipleship training, life changing retreat...although he says it was definately not a "retreat" from anything. Anyway, he got back, and I was tired of being by myself...very self-absorbed about what I have been so wrapped up in lately (me=baby...i want baby...i want baby now,now,now!)After a couple points it came to a boiling point. To make a short story long, we had a VERY intense discussion, until we realized WE WEREN'T IN CONTROL OF ANYTHING. I know, obvious point here. But we realized it at the same time, and made the commitment to push ourselves aside, and let God use the passion in our hearts for what HE WANTS. Since then we have made time to pray together every morning and night. We both are doing our Bible studies, and all is well with my soul. PRAISE GOD!!!!!!!!!!
