PUTTING ON A SHOW !!?

Who am I really?....or more importantly

Who am I trying to be?

Is the person you see the real person?

…there is that troublesome word again…

R E A L !!!  reality !!! hhmmm ?

 

Bothersome...very bothersome...

Every day when I turn on this computer

It has to do a SELF CHECK…..

It has to be 'told' or 'reminded'…

1. which system it is working in
2. which other computers / devices it is working with.

 

There a ton of other things that it does by way

Of 'booting' up…but that stuff it usually

'keeps to itself'….there is some stuff

That goes on the screen that most

People pay no attention to…stuff

That makes you know that it is

Getting ready to be available

And to be at your service.

 

As I was driving to work

I was 'booting up'.

 

Some people are quick to use

The word hypocrite….but as

I observed the computer

Booting up and getting

Ready to be available…

I noticed that one of

The things it 'said'

That it was 'doing'

Amounted to purging

'yesterdays stuff'

that would be

unnecessary for

TODAY.

 

So do I live behind a mask?

Y U P !!!

If you could be in my mind

As I was fighting off that last

Attack of wickedness…at some

Point you would think I was it !!

 

New Living Translation (©2007) Colossians 3:10
Put on your new nature, and be renewed as you

learn to know your Creator and become like him.

 

So am I putting on a show ?

Yes and No…the me you see

May not be the me I know.

 

GOD'S WORD® Translation (©1995) 1 Corinthians 13:12
Now we see a blurred image in a mirror. Then we will see

very clearly. Now my knowledge is incomplete. Then I will

have complete knowledge as God

has complete knowledge of me.

Our knowledge is incomplete and our ability to

speak what God has revealed is incomplete.

1 Corinthians 13:9

 

12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God,

holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness,

humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;

13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one

another, if any man have a quarrel against any:

even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.

14 And above all these things put on charity,

which is the bond of perfectness.

15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts,

to the which also ye are called in one body;

and be ye thankful. 16 Let the word of Christ

dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and

admonishing one another in psalms and

hymns and spiritual songs, singing with

grace in your hearts to the Lord.

17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed,

do all in the name of the Lord Jesus,

giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

<< Colossians 3 >>

Trying to walk in the steps of the Savior,
Trying to follow our Savior and King;
Shaping our lives by His blessèd example,
Happy, how happy, the songs that we bring.

Refrain

How beautiful to walk in the steps of the Savior,
Stepping in the light, stepping in the light,
How beautiful to walk in the steps of the Savior,
Led in paths of light.

Pressing more closely to Him Who is leading,
When we are tempted to turn from the way;
Trusting the arm that is strong to defend us,
Happy, how happy, our praises each day.

Refrain

Walking in footsteps of gentle forbearance,
Footsteps of faithfulness, mercy, and love,
Looking to Him for the grace freely promised,
Happy, how happy, our journey above.

Refrain

Trying to walk in the steps of the Savior,
Upward, still upward, we follow our Guide;
When we shall see Him, "the King in His beauty,"
Happy, how happy, our place at His side.
