Update 1/24/2024 hair is a mess - just woke up so...........bought yet another sale plant at lowe's yesterday. The grass that is in a coffee cup (which coffee cups make really cute planters - I'm going to have to be on the look out for cute coffee cups from here on out)................
I fancy all these verses as well...........
Romans 13:8 "Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law."
Galatians 5:13 "For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another."
The pharisee's they looked good...............and FOR YEARS I was obsessed with not wearing jewelry (even though I actually have always liked to have a pile of bracelets on my wrist and really it's really a comfort thing for me by now...........but I have spent years hanging around some "potential" pharisee's...............or at least the kind of people that big time poo poo the idea of jewelry, or short skirts........bangs.............hair styles other then buns -------- for reals for over what 15 years)
1 Samuel 16:7 "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'm going to talk crazy right now, if you have jewelry to wazuu, and the entire line of mary kay makeup KNOW GOD LOOKS AT YOUR HEART........I mean that in a hopeful way.......
Luke 18:10-14 "Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess. And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted."
The pharisee he did everything right...............except I notice in luke 18:10-12 he was exalting himself a bit there -------- going by what's said in verse 14, that's my take on the "situation".
But lately, I've way thought on how god looks on the heart................
IT'S MAN THAT LOOKS ON THE OUTWARD APPEARANCE NOT GOD! READ THIS VERSE AGAIN MAN DOES................
1 Samuel 16:7 "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."
The apostolic christian church of america has in the past banned bangs, and beards, and are way concerned with the outward look of people.................hey they are human beings, and this is what people often do.
I've done it.......................
there's been years where I was the pharisee in luke 18:10-14 saying "ah god look at me I do x and x and x just right" thinking myself in my own heart to be so much superior to those around me.
reality ya - I'm the "publican"
Have a great week!
LOVE
