Reflections of the heart

August 30, 2010

Yesterday..

ended very nicely.

I finished my delayed homework :). And got out of the house around 8 to do homework at Barnes n Noble and also hit up target for a needed school supply. I also saw that TARGET has come so far out here. It's like a half market half clothing half everything store. Unbelievable! And so clean too.

I read JOHN 8:31-52 ( i believe) this morning. I could be a few lines off. I thought it was so juicy! i love how Jesus called people out in such an honest and loving way. They were following the DEVIL and were too proud to even begin to digest just what JESUS was speaking of. I also really enjoyed lines 31-32. I do not have my bible near but I like how it spoke of TRUTH SETTING US FREE :). Because anyone who has come to know Christ can vouch at how TRUE that is. We think we are free in this world then we meet JESUS and we realize we're bond servants to the world and to SATAN and not even aware because the DEVIL loves to dress sin up and make it look Amazing without letting you see the fine print.
I recall my pastor talking about beer commercials and how everyone is in shape and beautiful plus DRUNK and graceful. THe devil doesn't allow us to see the beerbellies, car crashes, deaths, vomit or date rapes that came from that night. Just the glitz and glamor. And that is exactly how sin is in the beginning and then we get to see the REALITY after we've jumped in head first.

Through HOLDING FAST to Jesus and his TEACHINGS we are able to be TRUE BELIEVERS who worship in spirit and in truth. And the truth is revealed to us through our obedience and sets us free. This is amazing revelation y'all. PRAISE GOD and all glory be to him! :)

GOODNIGHT!

Such a thoughtful post! Yes, advertising campaigns can be devilish, that's for sure. They're meant to play mind tricks on us, unfortunately. It's all a game of psychology..

Hoping you are well!
