Glory and Judgement

Jesus said, "I do not seek My glory, the One who seeks it also judges. I assure you: if anyone keeps My word, he will never see death ever! John 8:50.51

I know I cannot, always, say, "I do not seek my glory." A part of me wants to boast about headway made in life. However, I must say, the more distance I go the less I need to boast, as I know who really holds me on this road, it is Him, because in myself I am a scared little rabbit holding on to My Lord's hand and He is making a way for me.

The Lord is showering me with His glory and it is Him who is making me into a vessel of honour.

It is good to also know He is the judge. I am too emotional and would judge according to my feelings at times, but He sees past all of that to the core of the matter. I have especially learned that when people don't get back to me straight away it is not because they don't want to talk to me but often they have stuff going on in their own lives to sort through first.

I have been planning a holiday to Tuscany and am now moving and had received a bill for the deposit for the holiday. I did not respond for three weeks while I sorted through things and even then it was to say I want to wait until I move and get settled and see the way forward.

My reticence was not due to cold feet or lack of interest it was a matter of timing. Our God is like that and so are other people.

I now have to look to the Lord for my commission not to the clients to get their paperwork together, as, this way I do not abuse them or become irritated with them, but know My God sees the big picture as to when the funds are needed, not me. It shows me my agenda is different to His but His always works, with less stress. 

If I trust Him for my reputation and my provision I can trust Him for my health and relationships as well, for He is totally good and His plans are best. Amen!
