Oh, and one other thought I had is about the manifestation in real life of that great gulf fixed between heaven and hell (Jesus spoke of it in a parable), that one cannot cross over to help the other .... that's how I feel when I try to communicate with certain people - like there is a gulf that simply cannot be crossed no matter how much I wish it could be so. Therefore, to continue to try to cross a "fixed" gulf becomes a futile attempt and I know from my own experience that unless Christ unlocks the door of any person's heart and mind - it cannot be done by the will of the flesh. Without Christ we can do nothing. NOTHING!
You are absolutely correct in the above. I can't imagine crossing back from whence I came, either. All praise to our wonderful creator who is able to make everything right in His time.
I've been dealing with that awful flu bug, I finally decided today I will probably live. My prayers go out to anyone currently suffering with it or any other situation that is painful or troubling.

Peace!
Sorry to hear you've had the flu, Scarlet. I keep hearing how bad it is and I do hope my family can dodge that nasty bullet. Drink lots of fluids! Flush it all out.
Matthew 22:36 “Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?” 37 He said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the greatest and first commandment. 39 And a second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’
This is the ENTIRE GOSPEL (Good News), nothing more and nothing less...do this and you can't go wrong!!!
Excellent post. Jesus also said, Ye ere my friends if you keep my commandments.
If we are not obedient to Him, I believe we are not members of His family.
Best wishes as we seek to know and DO the will of God.
Actually . . . HE embraced me . . . when I had nothing but contempt for the religion that claims to represent Him. It took less than a second to wipe my atheism from my heart and set me on a lifelong journey to understand Him.

I almost posted something similar this morning. It's His warm embrace that also takes away all fear of God.

I hope that you are better soon, ScartletWren! God bless.
If we are possessors of the Holy Spirit and hold out until our death, we can then enter into eternal life. But we must be obedient to our Lord and Savior, since Jesus said in John 14[15] If ye love me, keep my commandments. And[23] If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
Peter said in Acts 5[32] And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him.
