FIRE UNITED : SUCKY STUFF & OTHER STUFF THAT HAPPENS ON EARTH...

One day about a year ago I was In a really bad place & I couldnt see how I could continue I figured I had two options 1: kill myself. 2: Renounce Christ. being the 'brave' person that I am I went for option 2. As I was about to put it in writing ( I was serious!!) the Holy Spirit spoke up loudly on the inside of me 'OPEN YOUR BIBLE'
being the extremely mature person that I am like a three year old I said 'I DONT WANT TO'.AGAIN.OPEN YOUR BIBLE!!!. Me:NO!!.& AGAIN. OPEN.YOUR.BIBLE. NOW....Trust me you dont want the Holy Spirit to shout at you unless you just enjoy feeling like a giant sucky loser. I opened my Bible on Hebrews 12 v 7:If you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons, for what son is there that isnt chastened?
But if you are without chastening,` of which all of have become partakers, then you are illegitimate & not sons .
Furthermore, we have had human fathers who corrected us , & we paid them respect. Shall we not readily be in subjection to the Father of Spirits and live?
For they indeed for a few days chastened ( to correct, rebuke, discipline) us as seemed best to them , but He for our profit, that we may be partakers of His holiness.
Now no chastening seems to be joyful for the present, but painful, nevertheless, afterwards it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.
vs 12: Therefore strengthen the hands which hang down, & the feeble knees, & make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be dislocated, but rather healed.
Pursue peace with all people & holiness without NO ONE WILL SEE THE LORD.
Looking carefully lest anyone FALL SHORT OF THE GRACE OF GOD. Lest any root of bitterness springing up & cause trouble, & by this many become defiled.

If you feel like youre being picked on by God & youre anger is on the verge of becoming bitterness make it right now. Like I said sucky stuff happens on earth.Please dont misunderstand me. Im not saying that if you are hurting & angry that you will not see the Lord or falling short of His grace (or I better get used to enjoying a fiery hot climate..marshmallows anyone? I would be finished if that were the case..) the point im making is that anger can become bitterness to the extent that its possible to completely & WILLFULLY turn away from the Lord Jesus..& there's no going back after that. Let me assure you that the joy & peace that you can enjoy through,  trials in-spite of what you re facing is beyond comprehension. BUT with God ALL things are possible. Let me put things into perspective, keeps your eyes & attitude firmly fixed on Jesus NOT on your circumstances & He will restore to you what was lost. the longer you kick & scream, ask 'why me?' & become angry the longer it will take to receive victory. The battle IS the Lords, whether you concede to it or not. He will have HIS WILL in your life. Whether its convenient or not isnt relevant. Its producing righteousness thats important to God. Its being a servant BEFORE being exalted. Its being the last in order to be first. Its dying in order to live . Its becoming a fool that you might gain wisdom. Its becoming poor that you might become rich. sound familiar? OH..you mean when the Word says that we become more like Christ, God was serious..I thought it was just a catch phrase , to sound 'deep'. wake -up. smell the coffee. Jesus NEEDS you to be His hands & feet. Jesus LOVES YOU. Now AWAKE oh sleeper, arise & shine for the LIGHT has come.

Its simple W.W.J.D?
He's to busy being a DOER of the Word & not a hearer only,  to ask THAT question.
Sounds harsh? Try a wooden cross on for size. Your flesh will 'love' it.
