Time for darkness.... (thread number 3)ears open

[james217]

James~

If you spent as much time on your marriage as you do defending your actions, you would probably be further along.

18Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.

"However, to the man who does not work but trusts God who justifies the wicked, his faith is credited as righteousness."
Romans 4:5

You have the faith however what you are missing is obedience to God's commandments are our "works".

I could do this all day if you like however for once just do this....Be still and know He is God....I will leave you with this in the hopes that you truly read it and understand what is being said.

"You want something but don't get it. You kill and covet, but you cannot have what you want. You quarrel and fight. You do not have, because you do not ask God. When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures." James 4:2-3

and I could too.

1 Corinthians 13

1Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.

2And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.

3And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.

4Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

5Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;

6Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;

7Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

8Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.

9For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.

10But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.

11When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

12For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

13And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.


which one of these is considered greater? FAITH HOPE or love?

Romans 5: 1 -4
1Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:

2By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

3And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;

4And patience, experience; and experience, hope:

John 15:13
Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

and work on my M how? I was told to go dark so i'm doing that. She was confiding in me. Confessing her sins studying the bible with me talking of going to church with me. She asked for forgiveness I granted it. There's nothing I can do about what happened in the past. I was simply trying to make our encounters as positive as possible even if we do have a somewhat. I saw her oening up to me for the first time in months before she even left. But i'm told to do the opposite. I saw her pursueing me talking of coming home and us trying to resolve things. I was told that wasn't progress. There was even discussion of her going to IC and then us to MC

i'M WORKING ON MY ISSUES. i HOPE i GOT THIS JOB.
