The same counts for our children, if they do something which is wrong and we as parents don't correct them and discipline them, they know they were wrong and will try to stay away from us but when we correct them and discipline them, they know that we love them and that we don't want the distance between them and us because of wrong behavior. A child who is not disciplined will not learn to forgive and will always feel guilty of something. Therefore we need to discipline our children if we love them. Proverbs 22:6 6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. 3 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be raptured into glory, In the Holy City dwell — New Jerusalem, New Jerusalem; With the overcomers shouting, How our praises then will swell, In the New Jerusalem. As a pilgrim here I wander While afflicted I rejoice, For a better land I soon expect to see; Though all others seek for earthly gain, The Holy City e'er Will my aspiration be. On the rough and rugged path, Just by thinking of that city, I'm restored; Though my eyes be filled with tears, My heart will evermore be fixed On that City, my reward. And I run toward the goal; I pursue the prize, God's highest to obtain; Pressing forward toward the mark, I run forgetting all behind, Thus the Holy City gain. By His love and through His grace I'll In the Holy City live — New Jerusalem, New Jerusalem; All saints leaping, singing, shouting, To the Lord their praises give, In the New Jeruslem 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it from a hymn? 14 minutes ago, angels4u said: And I run toward the goal; I pursue the prize, God's highest to obtain; Pressing forward toward the mark, I run forgetting all behind One of my favorite scriptures! Philippians 3:13-14 King James Version (KJV) 13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, 14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call me silly, but I guess I sometimes have a soft spot for the underdog... Or in this case, 'under-bird.' lol (I figure God created each animal for a purpose.) And of course, birds are just so pretty In this poem I make a comparison between these sometimes disliked birds and we who can sing "Amazing Grace! How sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me." The Starling (a poem by turtletwo) Simple starling - called a menace There is beauty in your form Your Creator looks down on you Gives you life and keeps you warm Makes me think of how God loves us How we're cherished in His eyes He who made us takes the foolish And through us, confounds the wise "But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God has chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty" (1 Corinthians 1:27) 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To avoid rambling on, I'll just give you an interesting nugget which I hope will encourage you to look at the system in a new light. We, of course, refer to these offerings to Yahweh as a "sacrifice". The connotation of that word means giving up at your own expense or losing something personal for another cause. Whilst that is indeed true, consider the original Hebrew word "Korban". Korban means to draw closer or to get nearer. How vastly different! Therefore, rather than thinking "sacrifice" which focuses on what WE are giving up, if we understand it as "korban" we can focus on the fact that this is a gift to Yahweh - to draw nearer to Him, to get closer to Him. Praise Yahweh that he instilled a system to enable man to get closer to Him! Consider the English terms for the Hebrew terms below to see how they are brought to life with this understanding Burnt Offering: Korban Olah - to draw close through an ascending offering Grain Offering: Korban Minchah - to draw close through a gift offering Fellowship Offering: Korban Shelamim - to draw close through a thanksgiving offering Every Korban process has great significance as well, it's not arbitrary - but that's for another time. For now, think on this. Israel had a morning Korban Olah and and evening Korban Olah, besides all the other offerings. Now, scripture mentions that Daniel was praying at the time of the evening Korban Olah when he received a vision... So maybe a practise that we are being taught is for a morning and evening prayer (at sunrise and sunset), to give our thanksgiving so that we can "draw close through an ascending offering" with prayer. This is also reminiscent of the ascending incense before Ark of the Covenant, which is identified as the prayers of the saints. As for me, I have been doing this and, not only do I love it, but I feel it's a right and dutiful to do so. To thank the Father at the beginning of the day, for all that he has blessed you with, and at the end of the day for sustaining you and those you love through another day. I really don't feel it's legalistic (sometimes I miss sunrise and sunset!) but I feel that it helps keep me on track with daily gratitude and humility. So many interesting revelations surround the Tabernacle. Such a fascinating topic. Love & Shalom 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has no power over me, [31] but I will do what the Father requires of me, so that the world will know that I love the Father. Come, let's be going. This is one of the treasure that the Lord revealed to me..... and it gives me a lot of encouragement. When we face trials, persecutions, the worlds hatred, discouragement, problems, when everything just doesn’t go the way it should be bec we based it or expected it to happen in the world standard ..... its just like THE RULER OF THIS WORLD APPROACHES. then and but Jesus said HE HAS NO POWER OVER ME. Wow! It means we should not allow it to affect us, it should have no power over us, it is coming approaching, so what? AND JESUS SAID, BUT I WILL DO WHAT THE FATHER REQUIRES OF ME SO THAT THE WORLD WILL KNOW THAT I LOVE THE FATHER. COME LETS BE GOING. If we want to follow Jesus, we should follow what He do and reacts and think. He said, and DECIDED. So we should also decide, decide to do what the Father requires of us so that the world will know that we love the Father. We love God. What does the Father requires us to do then? ..... Micah 6:8 comes to my mind. and this is what he requires of you: to do what is right, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God. Doing what is RIGHT. To love MERCY, To walk HUMBLY WITH GOD. How can we do all these if we don’t really get to know God? To know what is right for Him. We are born into this world with the standards or teachings of this world, what we know that is right might not be the RIGHT THING OF GOD. that is why God said, My people perish because they lack knowledge, lack knowledge of the Holy One. Hosea 4:6 .... My people are being destroyed because they don’t know Me. Hosea 6:6 NLT [6] I want you to show love, not offer sacrifices. I want you to know Me more than I want burnt offerings. So we really must learn to give our time and effort to know God. If we really and truly love Him. Shalom! 4 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lord has been showing me more and more the importance of being grateful... So many scriptures drive this truth home. "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." (Phil 4;6) “In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.” (1 Thessalonians 5:18) An Attitude Of Gratitude 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
