Kept

If I have put anybody down or lifted anybody up in this book then I have failed. If I have done anything other than lift up Jesus Christ as Savior as Friend as Lord then God forgive me. We are all the sum total of our past experiences. That's what we are-and that is God's gift to us not our own efforts. What we do with these experiences in present circumstances what we become is our gift to God. Do not feel bad for me He (God) turned the intended curse into a blessing for me because the Lord loves me (Deuteronomy 23:5). I was not always kind understanding. I was in fact in early years bossy I'm sure. Who knows but what I myself am not responsible for the end result. God has dealt with me in many areas of my life of which I shall tell in a later book. Satan stands at the threshold of all our lives just waiting for an open door or window so that he might come in and devour (destroy) us (I Peter 5:9). For a man is a slave to whatever controls him (I Peter 2:19b). But he kept not that which the Lord commanded (I Kings 11:10b). God put a love in my heart for Him for His Son Jesus of Nazareth for His Church the Body of Christ-and I praise Him and thank Him for that. It was not anything I worked up. It was a gift from my heavenly Father. God can do that for you if you will allow Him to do so. He is standing at your heart's door knocking. Won't you invite Him in? Behold I stand at the door and knock; if any man hear my voice and open the door I will come in to him and will sup with him and he with me (Revelation 3:20). Christ Jesus is saying Behold I stand at the door (your door) and knock if any man invite me in I will come in and sup (abide) with him.
