And whoever does not take his cross and follow me is not worhty of me. Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it... And whoever gives one of these little ones even a cup of cold water because he is my disciple, truly, I say to you, he will by no means lose his reward. Matthew 10:38-39, 42
I am a Christian, which means that I am a wretched sinner. Jesus saved me from myself and has given me a new life in Him. It also means I'm going to Heaven *huge smile*. I am the oldest of 11 children, and even though I am gone I still love them. I used to be homeschooled. I am attending Grove City College in hopes of being able to teach Histry someday. Honestly, I want to teach more than History, I want to show the kids Jesus in my life and in the the story of the world. When I'm out at school I attend Providence Reformed Presbyterian, and I am so blessed to enjoy worship and fellowship there each week. I drink too much coffee. I love life. I really don't know what God has for me, but I know it's going to be glorfying to Himself.

Twas good seein' you today.
Well, our righteousness is as filthy rags to Him. We can only be saved by accepting Christ as our Savior.
We may be able to justify our reasons for doing whatnot, and making it seem as though it's pure, but God truly knows our motives behind it.
Eg. Instead of helping someone just to help and serve, they're doing it to get something out of it.
If we do it for God, He will bless us. We don't even think about that though because we just want to serve.
Yay. Glad you feel good about your test. I am thankful to have one down and two to go.
A little different thought on the verses would be this:
My ways may look perfectly good, pure and justifiable in my analysis of them, but I don't see clearly. I need to entrust my ways to God for my own good and protection because He indeed does see clearly and broadly (the big picture).
Thanks for posting them and asking because it made me take those few precious minutes to capture my thoughts and meditate on the words of our Lord. Love you!
