IBS- ROMANS 15:1
“We then who are strong ought to bear with the scruples (failings) of the weak, and not to please ourselves.”

In our weakness He is strong- Something I struggle with is getting help, whether it’s asking for it or someone just walking up to me and me not wanting to receive that kind of love or attention. It comes down to pride I know for me, but also the struggle in not knowing how- not knowing how to receive it or what to do next. God is working in mighty ways in all of us but here we are called to be submissive and obey the leaders, but it also comes down to seeking out or even just excepting the love and compassion Gods people here- the people God has placed in our lives to guide and direct us towards Him so we may be able to take these life lessons and apply it to our lives for the rest of our lives. When God is in the mix so is the good for us. He only wants what’s best for us and won’t give us mountains we can’t climb. But He never said we had to do it alone. Actually, He calls us all deeper with Him and He calls us to be encouragers to one another and in everything with LOVE. I was brought to 1 Corinthians 2 when Paul is talking to the Gentiles about why he was there doing what he was doing… 2:1 “And I, brethren, when I came to you, did not come with excellence of speech or of wisdom declaring to you the testimony of God..” the gentiles just like you and me were just making things complicated and were having a hard time understanding why and what was the purpose of somethings and just life and what they were really doing in it- I can personally relate greatly to them. One because I complicate things especially in my head. And it happens when I am trying to figure things out like my life… but God doesn’t call us to worry about the future but just be here all here right where He has you.

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
