Thursday, September 25, 2008 - mature and complete
Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
Well, we are still persevering. Jo is doing better, but still hates school. Well, he hates home, too, so what can you do with that?
Our marriage is really getting hit right now. GOD has good things for us, but it is a FIGHT against the old man and the sin that lives in us. What a battle to kick out that sin! Rejection has been rampant in our homes as children, and we have passed these things on to our kids. To do the Word, we must accept and not reject. Accept ourselves and not project rejection on others (against them or against us).
So, the revelation is good, but the working it out is a battle. I pray this will be broken in my kids and they will be accepting of themselves and each other. We are working on accepting ourselves and the love God really does have for us.
In the mean time, the battle is real. It is painful. I must put my hope in God.....in things that are unseen, not what is seen.
