Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
As a child of the Most High God have you ever felt that you were in the world but not of it? This is a common feeling to have. I often wondered why it seemed as though my life was just as normal as anyone else's but in all truth it was nothing like theirs. For now I realize I am a peculiar person.
The word tells us in 1Peter 2:9 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light...
I am often reminded that I am not like the normal or average person in the secular world. I tend to revert back to my old ways of thinking sometimes once those who are still yet in the world provoke me with talk that offends the character I now possess. For that I have to ask my creator for forgiveness. In this I learn to pray for others, for they know not what they do unto me(hurting my feelings and such). I realize every one who does not share the like of life such as my self will not understand this journey.
For I am called a daughter of the Most High God and those in the world received him not so why should I expect them to receive me? I'm learning though.... Even in the lack of understanding of my peers I must do as the word of God says:
1Thessalonians 5:11
Therefore encourage (admonish, exhort) one another and edify (strengthen and build up) one another, just as you are doing.
Even when I am tempted to tell people or even fellow brethren and sistern kind a piece of my mind I must remember the word of the Most High God.
1 Thessalonians 5:14
And we earnestly beseech you, brethren, admonish (warn and seriously advise) those who are out of line [the loafers, the disorderly, and the unruly]; encourage the timid and fainthearted, help and give your support to the weak souls, [and] be very patient with everybody [always keeping your temper].
For as it is written in Galatians 6:7
Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap
So even in those moments when I am tested and judged by the theories of the world I shall remember that to them my Creator's word, my life, walk, culture, and understanding is foolishness for they have not opened themselves up to this spiritual realm of understanding. It is not my place to judge or criticize anyone and so I won't but I will speak on how I feel.
Today I am blessed in the fields, in the city, when I come and when I go. Not because of anything that I have done to deserve this but because my God loves me and he cares for me. I will forever praise and lift up Jehovah, El Elyon, Elohim, Adonai!! For the Lord is worthy! I shall cast my prayers for those who are my enemies and those who pretend to be friends. I pray much for them that their relationship with the most High God will flourish and be seasoned according to God's perfect will.
As I close this blog I will say be mindful of your position in this world! As a child of God you are in it not of it!! And if you should happen to be of it, then you are in a place where I used to be..I pray much for you that you too will join me in the land of eternity! Peace and Blessings
May the Lord add a blessing to the reading and hearing of this blog....
To God be all the Glory!!
