Walking Worthy of Our Calling

“I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ. Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.”

~~~Ephesians 4:1-8 (KJV)~~~

Love, The Nitty-Gritty Truth

“Love endures long and is patient and kind; love never is envious nor boils over with jealousy, is not boastful or vainglorious, does not display itself haughtily. It is not conceited (arrogant and inflated with pride); it is not rude (unmannerly) and does not act unbecomingly. Love (God’s love in us) does not insist on its own rights or its own way, for it is not self-seeking; it is not touchy or fretful or resentful; it takes no account of the evil done to it [it pays no attention to a suffered wrong]. It does not rejoice at injustice and unrighteousness, but rejoices when right and truth prevail. Love bears up under anything and everything that comes, is ever ready to believe the best of every person, its hopes are fadeless under all circumstances, and it endures everything [without weakening]. Love never fails [never fades out or becomes obsolete or comes to an end].”

~~~1 Corinthians 13:4-8 (AMPC)~~~

Taking Responsibility For Sexual Sins

Andrew Bauman “Your husband’s punishing you because he’s wildly insecure, he’s terrified of you. He wants to lash out so, because he’s acting out. You are not wrong. He wants to gaslight you, make you feel like you’re the problem when really he’s terrified to deal with his own stuff. So do not take that on. Do not own that, it is his issue. You can look at an article I wrote ‘What If My Husband’s Using Porn'”.

“Shun immorality and all sexual looseness [flee from impurity in thought, word, or deed]. Any other sin which a man commits is one outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. Do you not know that your body is the temple (the very sanctuary) of the Holy Spirit Who lives within you, Whom you have received [as a Gift] from God? You are not your own, You were bought with a price [purchased with a preciousness and paid for, made His own]. So then, honor God and bring glory to Him in your body.”

~~~1 Corinthians 6:18-20 (AMPC)~~~

“Confess to one another therefore your faults (your slips, your false steps, your offenses, your sins) and pray [also] for one another, that you may be healed and restored [to a spiritual tone of mind and heart]. The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available [dynamic in its working].”

~~~James 5:16 (AMPC)~~~

What Is Really More Important to You?

Too often we find ourselves unknowingly holding on to our sins at the sacrifice of our relationships with our spouse, family, friends, and most especially our relationship with God.

Why?

Because at the root of every single sin is PRIDE.

And PRIDE is all about me.

“Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves.”

Your True Value

Do you focus on building your self-esteem or recognizing your true value being God-esteemed?

“But the Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart.”

~~~I Samuel 16:7 (KJV)~~~

“But the Lord said to Samuel, ‘Don’t judge by a man’s face or height, for this is not the one. I don’t make decisions the way you do! Men judge by outward appearance, but I look at a man’s thoughts and intentions.’”

~~~1 Samuel 16:7 (TLB)~~~
