This blog is looking for wisdom, to have and to share. It is also looking for other rare character traits like good humor, courage, and honor. It is not an easy road, because all of us fall short. But God is love, forgiveness and grace. Those who believe in Him and repent of their sins have the promise of His Holy Spirit to guide us and show us the Way.

God forgives, but what obligation do we have to earn God's trust?
I want God to be able to trust me to do His work here on earth. If I fail to do something that I know I should do, like get sufficient sleep at night, I get down on myself. I know God will forgive me, but I still want to show Him that I can and will learn from my mistakes. I constantly pray that He will deliver me from evil and lead me away from temptation.
That has been the focus of my last few Sunday School lessons. I teach them so naturally I feel I get more out of them. Trust comes at great cost but Jesus told his apostles and so us what to do. Love one another as He loves us. Sounds simple.
