I honestly don't know if, at this point, that I would be convicted. I tend to do things quietly, I like being a wallflower, being the force in the background to get things done. I was tapped to send out the communication to my work about National Day of Prayer. I have a prayer group at work and it has been discovered by management and they might pass things to me and ask me to send things around to the "account prayer group." i am not really sure how I feel about that at this point. I do wear crosses and am not afraid of anyone seeing them. I have a tshirt that I wear proudly that says, "by His Tripes, we are healed." It is the flag, but it has nails and blood. I got it at a Christian store. Actions are important, but so are words. My actions have been quiet, and words almost nonexistant. I want to work on this. I am not giving the prayer for Prayer Day, I asked someone to do that. I didn't feel comfortable, nor qualified enough. Which brings up the question, what would qualify someone else over me? I am the one that asked if there were any plans for observation of the day, I was tapped to send out the communication, but I am not the one giving the prayer.

Yup! It is not only our actions but our words that condemn us. Either way! God's Blessings!
Jeanie Phillips said:Oh I would hope so! :) While I don't beat anyone over the head with my faith, whenever someone comments about my "angel shelf" at work or asks how I am able to deal with certain situations, or otherwise opens the door for witnessing, I take the opportunity to express my trust and faith in God. I don't hesitate to offer to pray for someone, and then I DO! Sometimes, it just takes a spontaneous hug to convey God's love. I have found, God's ways will open hearts to His word.. I just need to be ready and willing to say what He needs to be said.

Awareness of Time. Jesus obviously knew his place in the time realm. We, as souls 'fighting the good fight' do not have this bearing of our place. I pray each day to 'Rest in Lord'... but I do struggle with the time aspect. If I knew that my struggle - whatever that may be, was such that at a given time, it would pass. How much stronger would I feel toward that goal of Life with Christ? He knew that his time was written... we do not; only to stay in faith until Christ returns. Why are we to suffer that unknown (time) when even God on Earth did not suffer as such? I pray everyday to understand the Love of God.... I know that I am weak to comprehend ... I do. But I have to ask this question if I may. Just a soul in Christ here trying to fight the questions that Satan enjoys planting in my mind. Thank God and Mercy for the Cross indeed.

If I really need a question like that answered, I bring it to God. Then I start looking for His answer. Sometimes the answer is something like "That's not something you are equipped to understand right now. Stop worrying about it, and go learn some more," "You don't need to know that. That's for him to discover." or "That's already answered in the Bible. Find it." But other times He does give an answer, which is then confirmed by other people of God before I say anything about it to them.
If time is causing you to suffer; you're looking at it wrong. You have today. When tomorrow becomes today; you have today. Eventually today will become eternity, and you can stop worrying about it at all.
(And Jesus had His own big unknown to face. He spent His entire life knowing that eventually the burden of all sin for all time was going to be laid on Him. He knew what sin was; he had seen the results for centuries. But he had never experienced it personally until it was laid on Him on the cross. I'm not sure that knowing how much time He had left was really that much of a comfort!)

Thank You Sarah. And a very very good answer indeed. Actually, I think that the Spirit had already whispered in my heart that same answer. Sometimes, it isn't necessary to understand it all. I am comfortable with that "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts" - Isaish 55:9 I was wondering if I had missed something about it. And your point about having to experience the pain and burden of our sins on the cross is also very true and well taken as well. Thank you again for your time to respond. May the Spirit glow brightly inside you. Your words have done that in me.
