"God hopes for and does require me to personally reflect the ambience of the Master (Jesus my Lord and Saviour) in the Life He has given me! ref. James 1:19, 20, 21, 22: "Understand (this), my beloved brethren. Let every man be quick to hear (a ready listener), slow to speak, slow to take offense and to get angry. *'Offense' IS the bait OF SATAN (*James 4:7 "So, be subject to God. Resist the devil (STAND FIRM against him), and, he will flee from you". 20 For man's anger does not promote the righteousness God (hopes for and requires). 21 So, get rid of all uncleanness and the rampant outgrowth of wickedness, and in a humble (gentle, modest) spirit receive and welcome the Word which implanted and rooted (in your hearts) contains the power to save your souls! 22 But, be doers of the Word (obey the message), and not merely listeners to it, betraying yourselves (into deception by reasoning contrary to the Truth)." ref. Matthew 10:16: "Behold, I am sending you out like sheep in the midst of wolves; be wary and wise as Serpents, and be innocent (harmless, guileless, and without falsity) as Doves (cross ref. Genesis 3:1)." ref. Proverbs 3:7: "Be not wise in your own eyes; reverently fear and Worship the Lord and turn (entirely) away from evil (cross ref. Proverbs 8:13)." ref. Proverbs 7:1, 2, 3: "My SON, keep my words; lay up within you my commandments (for use when needed) and treasure them. 2 Keep my commandments and Live, and keep my law and teaching as the apple (the pupil) of your eye! 3 Bind them on your fingers; write them on the tablet of your heart." - 'The Amplified Bible'. To reflect the ambience of the Master's Character I must practice to obey His words and to DO this I must firstly hold infinitely the absolute Truth of God's Holy Spirit in my heart." SELAH. - Kim.
