The Lord sets standards. Do I love Him enough to strive to reach them? Vol 1 Chap 15

“The Lord does not give me rules, He makes His standard very clear, and if my relationship to Him is that of love, I will do what He says without any hesitation. If I hesitate, it is because I love someone else in competition with Him, myself. Jesus Christ will not help me to obey Him, I must obey Him; and when I do obey Him, I fulfill my spiritual destiny.” Oswald Chambers

The word muss - must in German is a power word.  It means something that rises up within us. It is a word that defines character.

Alone I stand before God. No one else, just me, standing there, holding my choices.

It does not matter at that point what anyone else has decided to do.

It does not matter what anyone else has chosen.

It does not matter what anyone else has told me to do and then done differently themselves.

It only matters – did I obey?
Did I trust Him and obey Him?

And Jesus says, "Come."
He repeatedly says, "Come."
When will his heart be free from aching from those who deny Him even after they know Him?
When I love Him I must follow Him.

Because He IS the I AM, i am

We invite you to join us in our
Reading, Reflection, and Bible Community
A place all denominations are welcome
A place to intentionally read and ponder what the words of God mean to my heart.
A place to be encouraged to search my own heart and look deeply inward.
A place to ask God to change my heart and grow me into the person He has designed.
A place to come and share just my presence by leaving my name,
Or, if God has impressed something on my heart about how He is touching my own life, testifying this to His glory.
Pray and consider becoming a member.
