Luke 1:45 (KJV) And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her...
The success of achieving something, taking a step forward always gives me chance to meditate, look how far I came and where I'm going.
And every reflection makes me understand one thing.
GOD!
I'm always a waiting woman...I'm always waiting on God because I can't step out on my own ability, in the waiting I realised I am highly flawed...maybe like the Samaritan woman who longed for living water...Seasons come and Go but I'll rather seat here through it all and wait.
Imperfect steps to where I am remolded
An exchange of my filth for Christ's glory
Renewing my mind in Christ...
Over and over...I'll waste my intellect, logical mind following humbly, submitting myself back to the creator to work on my defaulted self
He'll pour his grace over me
A journey of forever
Finding God
Finding me, hidden in Christ
Being Complete ❤️🙏🏾🔥
Wheeeewww🤗
Everyday I find pieces of me that needs God even more...rooted in Christ ( there's no other place for me)
It's a miracle 🌟😀
The loss of loved one are devastating haven't been coordinated, overthinking, insomnia...It worst watching someone you love grieve, it breaks my heart, you feel it as much as they do and don't know how to ease the pain
All I really do now is talk the grief to God he'll comfort us
REPENTANCE
I think some of you are missing the context of the story, per Luke 15.
The allegation against Jesus was that He received sinners & ate with them. Well, did Jesus think the people making that allegation were righteous & truly didn't need to repent, as they implied? This issue alone should settle the status of the 99 & the possible interpretation. Whoever the 99 were, they were not Angels, since the lost sheep was one of them. And since there are no persons who do not need repentance, the 99 can't be considered to be saved persons. Also, if they were saved, it means, the one sheep was simply a back-slider & not a 'sinner' per se, since it used to be in the flock of 100 sheep, before getting lost. But, the charge was about Jesus receiving SINNERS & eating with them.
Secondly, to insinuate that Jesus did not mean for His interlocutors (The Pharisees & Scribes) to locate themselves somewhere in His response is strained & completely out of pattern, with Jesus. In fact, He would tell a story sometime & the Pharisees would be livid, believing Jesus told the parable "against" them (For instance, see Luke 20:19, but for context read from vs 1).
Thirdly, and this amplifies the second point: Jesus is said to have responded with A Parable. Not 3 parables. (Read the text). Meaning He told a parable containing 3 stories. In fact, you can tell that the lost sheep & the lost coin are clearly the same point being made in two ways. In the KJV, the stories are framed (in vs 4 & 8) like this: "What man of you, having... Either what woman having..." It is in vs 11 that the narrator makes a brief comment to introduce Jesus' telling of the story of the 2 boys.
Since it is one parable, it means each story is supposed to both reinforce & complement the others, & you'd need to consider all three together to get Jesus' overall point.
In the final story, Jesus contrasted the attitude of the Pharisees & Scribes on the one hand with the attitude of the SINNERS, on the other hand. The older brother was so self righteous that one, he said he had NEVER done anything wrong in his dealing with his dad (vs 29), making him the (self)righteous one needing NO repentance. Nobody then, hearing that story, believed he never did wrong. Also, he was ANGRY his brother was home. Wait, was that righteous ANGER?
But more. Fourthly: the allegation was 'this man receives sinners & EATS with them'. The final scene of the 3-stories-1-Parable is the father trying to get the older son to the feast. So, the older son is clearly OUTSIDE the house. This parallels the 99 sheep that were left in the desert, separated from the venue of the celebration. The inference about the 99 is warranted by this last scene.
What is both humbling & indicting is that, just as the father went out to bring the younger boy home, he also went out in the middle of the feast, to bring the older brother to the feast too. The genius of Jesus' story telling here is unmatched. He concluded the parable without resolution. Did the father succeed? Did the older brother make it home? We are not told. We are not told because Jesus is saying the answer to that question would be somewhat "determined" by the older brother (Pharisees/Scribes). Yet, what is clear is the father wants them both at the feast. But, only the younger brother, the obvious sinner, is at the feast when the curtain closes on the parable.
The Pharisees said: "This man receives sinners." Yes. Point however is, all are sinners, & so, if anyone refuses God's diagnosis of their situation, they forfeit God's help. In implying that they were not sinners, these Pharisees forfeited salvation, which those obvious sinners were earger to embrace at the time.
So, there were sinners, there were the self-righteous, & there was The Saviour. But the self-righteous did not accept the one who accepted them & therefore were not at the feast
Jesus' point is: "My feast is on. I want all in, but if you reject me, you exclude yourself"
Could go on...
What Steals our peace? troubles our heavy lids?
Makes us so restless
We get Caught up in the moment
Ignoring finding rest .
They are like crashing waves...the worries of this life, each sweeping the quiet
Echoing loud noises that we fail to see who matters... walking on water
Chens Baby: Here's a shoulder to lean on
To cry through the grief
A warm embrace of hearts that Knows the emptiness of grief.
I Can only hope that the warm caress of the father reaches out to you
Shinning light through the pitch blackness
Soothing the cracks of your soul
❤️
I refuse the identity the enemy sells to me...the identity of inferiority, incapability, hurt, grief.
I stand in my identity in Christ, buried the old man a long time ago.

The whole string instruments because a cello makes me fall in love all over and a guitar...🥹

The fear of God constrains you, despite having logical reasons to act a certain way.
Sometimes I'd playback conversations with people and think "should've done,said this" but...
Places you go, words you say, your presentation and actions are ruled by the FEAR OF GOD.
