Not posting much this week.....sometimes a body just feels out of sync, a bit disconnected, it bothered me then I read somewhere that sometimes this is God's purpose, wish I remembered the rest of the explanation, but the heart of the matter is our daily life is for God's purpose, times we just trust and obey and I rely on the Holy Spirit at these times in my life to carry me through-----ASK---KNOCK---SEEK------OK...enough about me....

Let us look at John 12: 24-26:------ Most assuredly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain. He who loves his life will lose it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. If anyone serves Me, let him follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also. If anyone serves Me, him My Father will honor.

My footnotes explain this like so:---These verses use 2 different Greek words for "life": The 1st."psuche" this refers to one's present existence in this world and the exercise of the mind, desires and will.----The 2nd is "Zoe"---refers to the spiritual life everlasting---He who loves his "psuche" (life now) will loose it, but he who hates his "psuche" will keep it for "Zoe". To pursue a psuche life with a materialistic philosophy will cause a person to miss what God wants him or her to have in the spiritual realm. The natural outflow of a Zoe life is serving and following Christ

Then the thing here to really grab one's mind is the idea of a seed being planted and how it grows.....take just a moment and think about a corn seed planted in the ground, and when it grows what we have----one day my life will planted and the best for me is yet to come---I am just a seed here....and yes through all my doubts, & fears, I truly believe this. Just a little something here to think on---God Bless and have a really good week-end
