Quickly Passing

The days go by so quickly. So much to do and so little time, but I am doing what He desires, so far as I ask Him where He wants me, He keeps reminding me - He has given me this place to be, to grow and learn. He is helping me through. Today, I found myself not feeling as well, yet He helped me through. I need more of His power not to say, but to seek to encourage and help others, rejoicing.
He will help us not to speak in a way which is not profitable for others, but only for what is good for building the body up, in love.

"Now concerning food offered to idols: we know that “all of us possess knowledge.” This “knowledge” puffs up, but love builds up." - 1 Corinthians 8:1 

We can have so much knowledge on what is good to say, and what is not - but only what is done from love will build up.

"Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love." Ephesians 4:15-16

This is something I need to grow in, speaking the truth IN LOVE. In every way, we are to grow up into Him who holds us together as one, He causes us to grow so we may be built up in love. There is no room for unprofitable speech, it is not fitting for us. He will help us in this area, when it seems so impossible we can remember He gives us the power to do as He commands.
I want to live everything I believe, everything I know (those who know are going to be judged more severely). I don't want to merely speak words even to others, or write or know things, but to live out everything the Father has revealed to my heart. Praise God, when He gives the desires, He will work them out to completion as we continue to seek Him!
Today I found some fresh air after work while doing a small task. Also earlier in this day, I spent writing a lost chapter I had edited. Praise God He reminded me of Brother Zac's words. When he would write letters, sometimes they'd have to be thrown into the fire seven times until they were right, in the way the Father would have them. It was a lesson for me too.
I desire to have more of a heavenly mind in these passing days, to be hidden with Christ in the heavenlies. What a beautiful picture! So this world can't take me captive. I want to be with Christ. Is this your desire as well?

"Father, May I go up with You,
into those heavenly places
hidden with You
All the day through
seeing these daily life situations
just as you would.
Thank You Father, You will do it.
 Amen"
