Ezr 7:10 For Ezra had prepared his heart to seek the Law of Jehovah, and to do it, and to teach statutes and judgments in Israel.


I like Ezra have prepared my heart... somehoe my computer got prepaired overnight. Last night it didn't work... today I come home and it's working... not sure why or how but I will not complain... rather I am taking this moment to blog before I loose it again! I had found out last night I can post withmy phone but after trying and trying realized I could only post about 2 sentences at a time... althought I had been working on my blog for over an hour it looked like I hadn't touched it at all... sorry about that. You should know that I think about you all daily even if your all just in my heart, even if you don't read this blog, know that my heart goes out to both christian and non-christian... that my soul is to do all I can for those around me.
 
Gal 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ, and I live; yet no longer I, but Christ lives in me. And that life I now live in the flesh, I live by faith toward the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself on my behalf.
 
I have been blessed by this calling. I have more peace, love, and patience... not through me but through Him.
 
The last 2 days I have had lessons from 2 differant sources both on the theme of Jesus Christ and our realationship with him. Today I looked at his calling to Matthew...
 
Mat 9:9 And as Jesus passed on from there, He saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax-office. And He said to him, Follow Me! And he arose and followed Him.
 
...a tax collector, a sinner, Jesus told him to come... do we today look apon Matthew and see the sinner or the follower? Isn't that alone an amazing testiment to us about Jesus' ability to save? To change us?
 
Joh 8:1-11 But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. And early in the morning He came again into the temple, and all the people came to Him. And He sat down and taught them. And the scribes and Pharisees brought to Him a woman taken in adultery. And standing her in the midst, they said to Him, Teacher, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. Now Moses in the Law commanded us that such should be stoned. You, then, what do you say? They said this, tempting Him so that they might have reason to accuse Him. But bending down, Jesus wrote on the ground with His finger, not appearing to hear. But as they continued to ask Him, He lifted Himself up and said to them, He who is without sin among you, let him cast the first stone at her. And again bending down, He wrote on the ground. And hearing, and being convicted by conscience, they went out one by one, beginning at the oldest, until the last. And Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. And bending back up, and seeing no one but the woman, Jesus said to her, Woman, where are the ones who accused you? Did not one give judgment against you? And she said, No one, Lord. And Jesus said to her, Neither do I give judgment. Go, and sin no more
 
I want to look for the good in other's rather than the fault. Jesus had the ability to look not for who someone was, but for who someone could be! I can be better than I am today, and I hope the day after I am better still... sure we will stumble... but I find the more I see the companion I have with my Lord, the easier it is for me. Sometimes I'm afraid we put God in a box. We make Him smaller han He is... less giving.... less understanding... basically more like us as humans. The problem is that we fear we will never live up to be as good as Him so we try to bring Him to our level so he is easier to obtain.
 
If my favorite singer wanted to be friends and I aimed to be like them... would they need to stop singing like a super star and come down to my level for me to accomplish that? Of course not... but would that stop them from being a mentor and friend? No... would my zeal to become better increase being such good friends with that person? I know myself and would assume that I would fight even harder to be at that level. That my mentor would be there to support and guide to buld me up and show me the way and if that mentor was a true friend would be able to look at every cracked note, every flat or sharp, look beyond that and see the heart. 
 
Sorry if that analogy doesn't make sense to you... but thats the realationship we are to strive to have with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  
 
 
Luk 19:2-5 And behold, there was a man named Zaccheus, who was a chief tax-collector. And he was rich. And he sought to see Jesus, to see who He was. And he could not because of the press, because he was little in stature. And he ran in front and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see Him. For He was to pass through that way. And when Jesus came to the place, He looked up and saw him. And He said to him, Zaccheus! Hurry and come down, for today I must stay at your house.
 
Not the sinner's we are.... but the saved that we can be!!!!!
