Thursday, September 04, 2003 Friend on Saul #2Geoff, yes a terrible waste of a guy who had so much potential:(I have some verses that I read daily in the hope they will keep me down! (sigh) One of them is this one: ".....but I am among you as he that serveth." Every day I feel so humbled just thinking of Jesus, not only amongst us, but serving. I pray in my heart often that I can say those same words from my heart. If Jesus served, how can we think we don't need to?? I used to think daily prayers which are the same, and "same word" repetition of verses etc were what many people call: "vain repetition". Lately I have received a lot of help using some "same" verses and thoughts daily. It keeps me on track. It reminds me, and refreshes my short (for purity!!) memory. Another verse I like to reflect on daily is this one: [Let] nothing [be done] through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. Daily reminders of certain helpful hints are good for me! I badly need them. I even have them written in a notebook, and refer to it whenever I have a moment:) Sometimes I am so full of confidence (like Peter walking on the sea? I know that story was about faith, but couldn't it be about an overconfidence in ones self also?) in my inner strength, and then fall flat on my face. (Maybe thats the part where faith is a bit short!!). There is something comforting about a tiny little personal notebook, tucked away in your pocket, filled with the names of people you are prompted to pray for .... special divinely inspired thoughts which pop into your mind at an odd hour; verses which melt your heart every time you read them... and so on:) # posted by Caroline @ 8:57 pm 0 comments
