Maybe this 1 Thought he was called

by **vahn** » Tue Oct 13, 2009 12:35 am

Maybe it was just too much reading
Maybe it was a dream of some sort
Maybe it was simply a "wanabe" thing
Maybe i'm simply not cut out for
Maybe even a nightmare

Or could it be that I'm not a Christian after all ? Just some hallucination from an overworked heart and mind ?

Just too many maybies for this wretch to handle , one day it's a "Presence"
the next it's arrows all over my chest .
Could it be that maybe I'd simply gone over the edge and not know it ?

Who knows and who cares anymore , definitly not me !
I'm exhausted , no more strength left . Cant even cry if I wanted to for Christ's sake !

Hello Vahn,

I care. Care to share?

Love,
Mack

I think I can relate to those maybes. At times.

Now I could add
maybe I was to hard on myself.
maybe I held unforgiveness.
maybe I was trying to hard.
Maybe I truely wasn't seeking God.
Maybe self got in the way.

He says his yoke is light.

Share Mac ? Oh how I wish I could do that . How do you think I got to this point ? Besides I cant seem to be able to find the manual to read off of a chapter titled "nice things to say ... or else !"

Thank you Pine as well for sharing .

"Maybe" you should not try so hard and do something you find comes easy for a little while so you remember why you were happy before. You liked just talking to the lost in the park and alleys. "Maybe" you can do that again. Not going with any reason other than talking to them, like someone talked to you...
Remember, the more you bless, the more you are blessed.

The enemy attacks harder right before you have another growth in the Lord.

ps you are a Christian and a good one too. it's not a dream.
I believe in you...

Vahn the chapter you are looking for is found in 1 Corinth 13

1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.
3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
8 Charity never faileth

You see Vahn your seeking kind things to say, it's all about doing it in love.

I like the NIV version.

4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
5It is not rude, it is not self seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
8Love never fails.
