Letters To Timothy
Posted: Sat Oct 08, 2011 3:51 pm
Dear Timothy,
"You cry out, Lord, Lord. Yet you do not as I tell you."
Timothy, if you really want what you seek, you *must* humble yourself, first.
As much as your flesh desires to be strong and to be right, it is not by *your*
works that things are made to happen.
Timothy, you have heard it said, to seek first the Kingdom of God...
But I say to you, you must humble yourself, first, in order to find the Kingdom and Righteousness you seek.
So do as I tell you. Put on tender mercies, kindness, *humility*, meekness, longsuffering;
bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if you have a complaint against another;
even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do.
But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection.
And let the peace of God rule in your heart, to which also you are called in one body; and be thankful.
Sincerely,
Your loving Father
