Thank you for this Chip, at this point of time in my walk, i would question this and probably say that they see a set of rules and regulations that cannot be attained, I am really struggling with my walk at this time, but I know in spite of all this, that God won’t give up on me as I do not intend to give up either, no matter how hard I make it seem

Sherry, So often when I wish to share with others anything, then much of self gets in the way. (So it seems) Even when I hope to encourage and uplift; then there are those who “read me” wrong and feel in the presence of a Spiritual Intellect. Twice, if not more, E-mails are “interpreted” by those who routinely scrutinize everything they read. Despite trying to show Jesus, they only claim to see weaknesses and faults. Are these people truly trying to help me, by pointing these things out, or do they seek to present a critical, and narrow minded position of superiority because of their “correct” understanding of things? To be hurt by those people shows that something isn’t right. Is the problem me or them? Ego and Self exaltation is so easy for anyone. Still, we, as humans who know better, ARE working at it, right!? Christ in me, the hope of glory. Not glory in Ego, or Self, but glory in HIM alone. Please tell me what you have experienced, and what might help others to stop looking at me and see Jesus living in me. God Bless You. Timothy

Something that has never left my mind was that I have family that knew me before I met Jesus and they now me after I met Jesus. I have always been hard on myself because I seem to fail at times and my flesh can creep up and get in the way. When I look inward I still see me but because of Christ, when I’m around family they see an extreme change in me That I don’t see. This is a work of the Lord that I have no control of, because it’s He not I that’s doing a good work, in spite of myself. There is an aroma of love toward others that is evident when Christ is evident in a person. My brother and other family was drawn toward the Lord because they saw Him in me, that I myself didn’t see. I knew I loved Jesus with all my heart, but I was unaware that it showed outwardly. When I have been told the change they see in me, at first it made me very uncomfortable that I was being watched and I felt like I had to be on my best behavior, as to not quench the Spirit, but the Lord let me know that it’s He not I, so I could rest in Him and stop trying so hard. It’s amazing how Christ can come through a person and that He is made known and we ourselves aren’t even aware of it. All I can say is, Only Christ!

This message appeared right on time and cuts right to the point. It answered the question I had in my mind today and pointed me in the right direction. As well meaning as the people in question might be, do they have Jesus or an abundance of words and teachings? Answer: words of Jesus, not the Living Person. Then why waste my time? Thanks, Chip!
