About
Here’s the deal…
Over last couple of years, I have come to realize that even on my best Jesus day, my thoughts are still nothing like His thoughts. Just when I think I have figured things out, I find His ways are still so far beyond anything I could have imagined. (Isaiah 55:8-9 NLT) I have also realized the even on my worst Scott day, I was never so far gone that He could not snatch me from the flames. So, because God never gave up on me…neither will I.
Yes, I was lost for a while, but the Lord has brought me back. No longer a slave, I hope to mean more to you now, both as a man and as a brother in the Lord! (Philemon 1:15-16)
A.W. Tozer once wrote, “An honest man with an open Bible and a pad and pencil is sure to find out what is wrong with him very quickly.” Well, this blog reflects what I am learning (and un-learning) as I spend time with the Lord in the secret place. I hope you are not in a hurry…cause this is going to take a while.
Scott
He HASN’T given up on you and neither have your family or your friends. I have looked at you many times and wished I was as blessed as your are with all that you have. I have never been as rooted or as caring as your are with the word of God. I look back at my life and wonder why I chose some of the paths that I had for they were not of his ways or his teachings, and I regret and carry around my sin for only I know what I have done. I hope that one day he will touch me the way that he has touched you and that he will forgive me for what I have done, hopefully one day.
God bless you Pip, you are more of a friend than I have ever let you know!
