“Above all, trust in the slow work of God.
We are quite naturally impatient in everything
to reach the end without delay.

We should like to skip the intermediate stages.
We are impatient of being on the way to something
unknown, something new.
unknown, something new.
And yet it is the law of all progress
that it is made by passing through
some stages of instability—
and that it may take a very long time.

and that it may take a very long time.
And so I think it is with you;
your ideas mature gradually—let them grow,
let them shape themselves, without undue haste.
Don’t try to force them on,
as though you could be today what time
will make of you tomorrow.

Only God could say what this new spirit

Give Our Lord the benefit of believing
that his hand is leading you,
and accept the anxiety of feeling yourself
in suspense and incomplete.

When you look at the Universe and all that is in it time to me is not in the equation,
Not a fan of Teilhard de Chardin.
He denies original sin so what is the point of Redemption. We are all just evolving along in our Ophrahood.
I am not born again like so many people around here. So I do not need to be worked on and saved and go to their church. I have a personal relationship with my creator and always have. Even though I do not advertise it and parade around here proclaiming that I am superior and should look down on you and get my off the wall church thug friends to back me up like so many of the saved people. So I remain silent mostly and God is the judge because He knows our hearts. It is not my place to judge but I can observe and make choices for myself. And resentment is something else I can't afford.
By the way, I like your post for Sunday.
It is a gift to be able to carry the message like John.
I sent an email to Pastor John Wiley who included the quote in his sermon yesterday; expressing concern about Teilhard's philosophies although the quote made perfect sense in regard to the teaching. This was his response: "Yes, Teihard was a work in progress like the rest of us. I don't agree with will all that he wrote however I do find value in many of his writings. Here is a question that I ask myself. "If a person has some thinking that does not line up with my thinking does it benefit me to throw out all they have to say?" My answer is, "No, it does not benefit me." I have found that those who only listen to those who agree with their views end up living in a closed off world. Consequently they end up no longer growing. I love reading views that challenge my thought processes."
I rather speak but not to track up your mind.

I am so excited share my story, maybe someone will find it useful is about how to fix your relationship and marriage form divorce or Breakup..! A very big problem occurred in my Marriage seven months ago,between me and my husband .so terrible that he took the case to court for a divorce. he said that he never wanted to stay with me again,and that he didn't love me anymore.So he packed out of the house and made me and my children passed through severe pain. I tried all my possible means to get him back,after much begging,but all to no avail.and he confirmed it that he has made his decision,and he never wanted to see me again. So on one evening,as i was coming back from work,i met an old friend of mine who asked of my husband .So i explained every thing to him,so he told me that the only way i can get my husband back,is to visit a spell caster,because it has really worked for him too.So i never believed in spell,but i had no other choice,than to follow his advice. Then he gave me the email address of the spell caster whom he visited. TEMPLEOFLOVEANDPROSPERITY@GMAIL.COM. So the next morning,i sent a mail to the address he gave to me,and the spell caster assured me that i will get my husband back the next day. What an amazing statement!! I never believed,so he spoke with me, and told me everything that i need to do. Then the next morning, So surprisingly, my husband who didn't call me for the past 7 months, gave me a call to inform me that he was coming back. So Amazing!! So that was how he came back that same day,with lots of love and joy,and he apologized for his mistake,and for the pain he caused me and my children. Then from that day,our relationship was now stronger than how it were before,by the help of a spell caster. So, i will advice you out there if you have any problem contact Dr Frank Ojo, i give you 100% guarantee that he will help you.. Email him at: Templeofloveandprosperity@gmail.com . My name is Amanda Bryan, me & my family live in Toronto, Canada. Thanks for reading .
I'm more concerned about making my thinking line up with the Scriptures. I want to be a man whose mind is so saturated with the Bible that it flows out of me so naturally and freely. I recently rededicated/recommited my life to Christ. I want to get it right this time while I still have a chance.
