I am who I am

I am who I am and I'm okay with that. Sure, there is always room for improvement; there are always things to work on. I strive daily to survive this world so that I will get to spend eternity in Heaven. That's the bulk of who I am. I am one who will not be able to turn in a project half-heartedly done. Sadly, that is who I am so I will spend more time cleaning up the edges. I am one who will do it if I say it with conviction in my heart. I will not back down in the face of the unknown...waver, yes; shake in my knees and hold my trembling voice in as I silently ask the Father for strength, yes; turn and run the other way not looking back, no...not unless its something I need to turn and run from and not look back:) I leave that one up to God to let me know when it is appropriate to walk away, He usually pulls through, Holy Spirit of conviction and all that.
Am I strong? Sometimes. Am I weak? At times. Do I ask for acceptance either way, yes. Do I trust God loves me at both times, you bet. Any question of that check this out: Romans 14 "Accept him whose faith is weak, without passing judgment on disputable matters. One man's faith allows him to eat everything, but another man, whose faith is weak, eats only vegtables. The man who eats everything must not look on him who does not, and the man who does not eat everything must not condemn the man who does, for God has accepted him. Who are you to judge someone else's servant? To his own master he stands or fals. And he will stand, for the lord is able to make him stand."
Oh, it keeps going...
vs 5 "One man considers one day more sacred than another, another man considers every day alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind. he who regards one day as special, does so to the Lord. He who eats meat, eats to the lord, for he gives thanks to God; and he who abstains, does so to the Lord and gives thanks to God. For none of us lives to himself alone and none of us dies to himself alone."
I love this part...
"If we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord."
Might as well finish it out huh?...
vs 9 "For this very reason, Christ died and returned to life so that he might be the Lord of both the dead and the living. You , then, why do you judge your brother? Or why do you look down on you brother? For we will all stand before God's judgment seat....vs13 Therefore, let us stop passing judgment on one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in your brother's way."
Ah, yeah, good stuff!
pick up the Bible and read through romans 14-15:13 HIS WORD IS ALIVE!
Can i get an AMEN?!
