This is not trying harder to gain your entrance to Heaven. It cannot be earned. If anyone is confused about this, send me a note, and I will try and explain, if you are uncertain if you are going to Heaven.

Forgive me Lord, for I am a sinful person, and don’t measure up to your standards. I put my Trust in Jesus, who was and is adequate for Myers.

I used to read this to my small groups to see if anyone was listening, “Rejoice when things are hard, “Pray when you feel like it, and give thanks in some circumstances. I just wanted to see, if someone was aware of my misinterpretation. Most of the time, someone would say, hey, that’s not what it says. Funny how our minds can make it sound the way we want it too, but are ignoring what it says. I wonder if God, does the same, to remind us, we’re not getting it.

Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for HE is GOOD, HIS LOVE ENDURES FOREVER! Our circumstances…….do not dictate…..our RESPONSE to GOD!

What is this attitude, you say? See below…………

“Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves; do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others.”

‭‭Philippians‬ ‭2‬:‭3‬-‭4‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

Take every thought Captive……

“We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ,”
‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭10‬:‭5‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

Oh be careful little eyes, what you see, Oh be careful little ears what you hear, for the Father up above, is looking down with love, Oh be careful little eyes what you see!
For our Struggle is not against flesh and blood. Ephesians 6
