When are you going ever to learn?
What were you thinking or should I say not thinking?
How many times do I have to tell you?
Am I talking to the wall?
Says the Parent to the
Independent strong willed child.
The child who is being taught to think for him/herself
but when he/she does, it just doesn't turn out that well.
Hmm...
I can so be that child. How about you?
The Independence
to respond
the way you want
when you want to
because that is just
what you want to do.
Independence~
Freedom
Liberty
and then this word pops up in the definition
Self-determination~
Determination driven by Self
Independently Free from anyone
because
Self is leading
Hmm...
Sounds a bit like
Free Will~
Freedom
Liberty
and this word pops up....again
Self-determination
Hmm...
Determination driven by Self
But isn't
Free Will
a Christian~ese kind of word?
Yes, but it still is
the Independence
to
do what you want
when you want to
because that is just
what you want to do.
But then why doesn't God step in and say
Am I talking to a wall?
when we
Put into Practice
the
free will
to be anxious
the
Free will
to doubt
the
Free will
to
be hopeless...
But instead
He responds to us with an action
a verb
to bring us back
to the
Free will
to do it again
but
His Way.
And when we ask Him
"Why"
He says,
"Just because I said so"
and
He can say that
because
He really has the final
Word
because
His Word
is
the Word as
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:1
The Word~
Jesus
Who makes
Free will
easy
when
you become
Independently Dependent on Him
So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. John 8:36
Independence~
The Freedom
The Liberty
The Self driven determination
to choose
Him
to do it
His way
because
God said
I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;
I will counsel you with my loving eye on you. Psalm 32:8
Because He sent His Son Who is
the way and the Truth and the Life. John 14:6
that always leads you right back to
the Father~
your Father
my Father
the perfect parent
who doesn't want to talk to a wall
because
He is talking directly to you.
Free will
begins with Love
His Free Will
to
Love you
just because ~
For God so loved the World John 3:16.
so we can have the
the
Free Will
to Love
to...
Love the Lord your God with
all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. Luke 10:27
because
He is talking to you.
And when we do love
with our "all"
Free Will
will always lead us right back to Him
and "all" that
He is~
Perfect Peace in all circumstances
Perfect Trust in a season of doubt
Perfect hope in the most hopeless circumstances
and
Perfect Forgiveness
when
we choose to be like a wall
without ears
to hear
and
choose to be
Independently Dependent on Self~
doing what we want
when we want to
because
that
is just what we want to do.
When has Free Will lead you down the wrong path?
When has God's Free Will to love you, lead you back to the right path?
So
If the Son has set you free
and
you will be free indeed
let's
Put into Practice
the
Free Will
to be
Independently Dependent
on the
One
Who
knocks down every brick in your life
that builds the brick wall
that keeps you from hearing
because
"Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it." Luke 11:28
