IBS- Psalms17:15
“As for me, I will see Your face in righteousness; I shall be satisfied when I awake in Your likeness.”

I will see Your face in all the good and for what I count as bad but is in your book already as only good, I will seek you in it; and I will not wonder and try and find any other to satisfy, but trust in You. This is what I see when I read this verse. To have that desire to see God in all and be in awe of Him- while reading The Word- Praying- Serving- and even just being still. He is in all of that and is guiding you in the direction of the holy if you seek after Him. And I personally have never been unsatisfied with where He has brought me when I do seek and ask Him for direction- and even in the times when I do wonder off He is just such a good good Father and never leaves me. “I will be satisfied when I awake in Your likeness.” There isn’t a better feeling and peace I get when I know I am being molded and shaped and used in God’s hands and knowing He has me here for a reason- its not easy at times but His overflowing grace and mercy is all I see when trials come. I can sleep resting in assurance that He will protect me and give me the sleep I need for that night. If I ask He listens, He is the God of the healing, lost, out-cast, and broken… and many more, but to know He is real and there, all there whenever I need Him I can rest. Now I’m not saying I’m good now and I’m living “the life” but I am saying I have a great life knowing who my King is and resting in Him is all I have to do, so I would say yes I am living THE LIFE- the life I have in Christ.

IBS- PHILIPPIANS 3:8 “Yet indeed I also count all thigs loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ.” I am reminded of the Philippians 1:21 “For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” To hold onto the things of this world only hinders you. Your relationship with Christ Jesus, your walk, your mornings, and your everyday life. To gain the whole world but lose your soul is gaining nothing. To fight for anything of this world is going to get me nowhere if not led by the Lord. I have held on to so many things of this world, it has bonded me and there is a weight on my shoulders because of it. When I try to gain the whole world- I lose myself. I feel caught in a net with no way out. I can see the good in God, but I am to twisted and wrapped up in the ways of me that I can not figure out the way out. In Christ I have no bondage I have no net. To gain knowledge

IBS- MARK 10:46-52 “ Now they came to Jericho. As He went out of Jericho with His disciples and a great multitude, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the road begging. And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and say “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” then many warned him to be quite; but he cried out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” so Jesus stood still and commanded him to be called. Then they called the blind man, saying to him “Be of good cheer. Rise, He is calling you.” And throwing aside his garments, he rose and came to Jesus. So, Jesus answered and said to him “What do you want Me to do for you?” the blind man said to Him, Rabboni, that I may receive my sight.” Then Jesus said to him, “Go your way; your faith has made you well.” And immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus on the road.”   I relate to Bart in the sense of begging for Jesus to come back into my life and forgiving me once again for my sin

Colossians 3:23 “And whatever you do, do good work hardily as for the Lord and not to men.” Christians often talk about working for God, going on a mission’s trip for God, doing the ministry for God. Its good to talk that way. It’s biblical. We are promised that through Christ we will “bear fruit for God” and we are called to “work heartily as for the Lord, and not for men.” So, we should do things for God. But what does that mean? Sometimes when we talk about doing something for someone, we mean that we are going to meet their needs. So, if we talked about doing something for the poor, we mean we are going to meet the needs of the poor. But is that what we mean when we talk about doing things for God? When the Bible calls us to do things for God, is it calling us to meet God’s needs? That’s impossible, because God has no needs. Acts 17:24-25, “The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples made by man, nor is he served b
