Have You Found Yourself Yet? (video & text)

 

 

When I lived in California this was a popular saying. People were saying “You’ve got to find yourself.” Well Recently I was talking to my sweet daughter Michelle and that very saying came up. Well, the Lord put it on my heart to share this little message with everyone. You know I would go so far as to say that we all deserve to be in prison, or maybe most all of us, but certainly we all deserve to go to Hell. But isn’t Jesus wonderful, He has so much love and mercy on us that he died for our sins so that we could be saved by believing in him and accepting him as our Saviour so we can go to heaven and have Eternal life, the gift of God, which no amount of money, or good works can ever buy. Praise The Lord! Amen? Paul said, “For I know that in me (that is in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.” (Romans 7:18,19). Beloved if you are ever able to find yourself, I am afraid you will not like what you find. “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.” (Romans 3:23). “But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousness are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as the leaf; and our iniquities like the wind have taken us away.”(this is talking about menstruous rags)( Isaiah 64:6).If you want to go looking for yourself, just look in the garbage can at some old used menstrual pads and you’ll find yourself. So let us not go looking for ourselves, but let us get lost in Jesus and his love. Amen?  “He must increase, but I must decrease.”(John 3:30). “He that findeth his life shall loose it: and he that looseth his life for my sake shall find it.”(Matthew 10:39). We need to be more and more like Jesus every day. We can be a new person every day by getting closer and closer to the Master. “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”(II Corinthians 5:17).Leave yourself behind and go running after Jesus, and never go back to find yourself ! By the way, have you ever seen a filthy menstruous rag walking around in pride and being offended about something? Perhaps if we realized what our righteousness is like in God’s eyes it might help us to be more humble, meek, loving and forgiving.

  1. This is most definitely my realization over the past 2 years. I have truly learned how human I really am. A brother in the faith told me once that there will be a time that you truly see yourself and not like what you see, but he also said to remember that God loves us and that we are His. The ‘New Age’ movement amplifies this inspiration of finding yourself. Better it is to find Jesus the Son of God and not find yourself, than to find yourself and not find Jesus the Christ. God had me burn those ‘New Age’ books I had. All we need is Jesus Christ, not out-dated and evil-influenced knowledge and understandings that keep us from God and His wisdom, understanding, and knowledge.
    God bless you and your family in the name of Jesus.
