For He says to Moses, " I will have mercy on whomever I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whomever I will have compassion." So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who shows mercy. For the Scripture says to the Pharaoh, "For this very purpose I have raised you up, that I may show My power in you, and that My name may be declared in all the earth," Therefore He has mercy on whom He wills, and whom He wills he hardens. You will say to me then, "Why does He still find fault? For who has resisted His will?" But indeed O man, who are you to reply against God? Will the thing formed say to Him who formed it, Why have you made me like this?"
Welcome to my site. This is my first time to try out this blog thing and it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. All I want to say is that you are welcome to share your views with me. We have been called to a holy priesthood and we are brothers and sisters, mothers and daughter uncles and nieces and since we are united by Christ who died for us as one body, we are to live our lives as a people with one mind and one goal. Marvelling at the differences between us and esteeming each other too.
I will admit that this walk of faith has not been easy, and this way of life is not all a joy ride,. I have been tested and found wanting too often. I have been blessed even more and not been grateful. But when I last got saved after backsliding three times - I told Him I couldn't do this anymore. I don't want to work anymore, I don't want to struggle with issues of faith.. in His mercy He called me, I obeyed and since then he has sustained me - literally. I couldn't remain saved if it was just up to me or my works. Indeed He loves me. What could I ever give Him back to say thank you. And you know the most interesting thing is that people also have believed for me when I was too weak to believe.
