He doesn't say that it is disgraceful to speak of these things, period. He says, it is disgraceful <strong>even</strong> to speak of these things, which implies that having anything to do wiht ungodly acts is wrong. Not watching them, not listening to them, not laughing at them, not speaking of them.<br /><br />Lord, help me to follow your laws and commands. Help me to to not have any participation in any type of evil. Father help me especially to be like you.</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13207737-112753059667974462?l=wadidahottie.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Robbiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00803539884705952663noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13207737.post-1118814998300573942005-06-14T22:40:00.000-07:002005-06-14T23:01:31.390-07:00A quote from a great book I'm reading about women, and who we are in Christ, and how we are made in the image of God.<br /><br />"The message? 'Your desire for relationship causes pain. You are just too much.' She has spent the last 20 years trying not to be too much, trying to minimize her desires, trying to find some way to be loved without being too much. She has loped off huge parts of her wonderful personality as a result."<br />"Captivating" by John and Stasi Eldredge<br /><br />Now that is something I relate to. Feeling like a burden to everyone you come across. Wondering which part it is inside you that makes you seem like to much of a hassle to others. Cringing everytime you need to ask a favor, or everytime you're talking to people and you see a look, and hear the exasperated sigh. Or maybe i just imagine them, its entirely possible.<br /><br />My task now as I read and study, and talk and fellowship and pray and think and meditate, is to discover who I am as a woman of God. Discover my beauty through His eyes, and Discover His beauty through the way He made me. Being made in HIs image, incredible. Why do I put myself down, or not love myself when I am created in the image of God, by a God who loves every part of me?<br />To be answered in the next post...stay tuned...<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13207737-111881499830057394?l=wadidahottie.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Robbiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00803539884705952663noreply@blogger.com1
