In Response to "Anonymous"... My Reflections...

"Anonymous said... Your blog contains beautiful Christian artwork and scriptures. However, in my opinion, it also contains too much self-centered ("me, myself, and I") commentary. It might help you in your daily struggles if you realized that the light of Christ shines in others, too. Every Christian is called to share the love of God with those they encounter in their daily lives and we do well to receive from others the blessings they have to share, too, rather than focusing solely on ourselves and our own role in God's plan. (Just a reminder to stay humble and a bit less focused on your own "specialness"). God bless you. :)

Well... To reply back to anonymous' comment on my previous post... I am sorry to hear that in "YOUR opinion" MY BLOG seems like it has too much of "ME" written in it. I know that Christ's light shines in others... and I try hard not to condemn others for who they are...or for what they have to say. I also try hard not to offend anyone. Sharing God's love with the people I encounter in my daily life IS a part of who I am. I agree with what you say about...

" receive from others the blessings they have to share, too, "....
but I disagree that I "focus solely on my role in God's plan".

I feel like yes, God does have a plan for my life (thank goodness, because without His guidance, I would be nothing)... each person has to work out their own salvation though... right?

Is it so horrible that I speak about my daily life here on my own blog? My daily life is what I live in. And in my daily life... there are struggles. My blog is where I write about them occasionally. That's kind of a way for me to release some of the garbage my brain stores up from living in this place that is far from heavenly. The world can be a yucky place... even for the best of Christians.

I do enjoy the Christian artwork that I put on my blog... and I try to live by the scriptures that I put here... but most importantly... my hope is that others are touched by the words that are typed here that come from God's word. It may be a simple scripture here and there... and sometimes it's alot of them... but I pray that other people who may not know Christ can "get" something from them. Even if the words I type from my own heart go completely ignored... I pray God's words from His heart do not get ignored.

I have no "specialness"... in my own eyes... however... in My Heavenly Father's eyes... that is where my specialness lies. Each one of us is precious to Him in our own unique way. I don't really see why God chose to even love me... but he did. Is that so bad to write about? Isn't that ok to share with others?

I don't get the opportunity to see a whole lot of people in my daily life... but the ones that I do... I share God in a very soft way as to not scare them away from the love that God has for them. I have seen the effects of my own way of sharing God's love in some people... that others would never expect to see a difference in. I also care about where those people would spend their eternity. I am a very shy person... so sharing God's love is something that comes from what others see me as. They see a person who is not perfect... actually the farthest thing from perfect you could think of. The love I have in my heart for others... is shown... in actions... and God's love is all mixed in the middle of it all. God's love has enabled me to love people that I would really like not to. God's love has given me the ability to open my heart up to the "anonymouses" of the world.

So yeah... when I write... I use the words Me, Myself, and I.

Am I humble?

According to Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary

"humble"

1 : not proud or haughty : not arrogant or assertive

2 : reflecting, expressing, or offered in a spirit of deference or submission

3 a : ranking low in a hierarchy or scale :

INSIGNIFICANT, UNPRETENTIOUS b : not costly or luxurious

Decide for yourself.

How do I share my own blessings and failures with others if I do not put myself out there for others to see that "YES... God loves even me."

I don't know how to be anything other than myself... like me... or not.

Sometimes comments... make me second guess what comes out of my own heart. God is the one who makes sense in life... even if words don't.

May God bless each and every one of you with more than enough in every aspect of your lives.
