Evil Motives from a broken place. (James 2:2-4/5)

I know it may be a little over in different places, the core of it being about character, about the need for the heart to change and the character to be made into one that looks like HIS.
Integrity, character, when the rest is taken away, stripped from us down to us being as bare as the day we came into this world by HIS Grace, it's all we have left. The bits that make us up, and what we do with it speaks much. When we give our lev, our nefesh, our me'od to HIM, we are able to really live. This is the first half of the most important commandment. Shema and love your neighbor as yourself. When the rest is stripped who we are is seen, is that person one you want to be in the same room as? If not, turn to the one who not only makes the tiger but can change its stripes. Turn to the Potter for we are but clay. All to often, heartbreakingly so, we get lose in the world and we end up refusing to live out what we believe. Everything, and I mean everything, has to be given over to HIM. If we fail to do so, we are not interested in being completely open with HIM, if the interest is there, then it's learning/being learned to let things go. All of this, all I will ever try to teach and share on is the fact that we need HIM, because we do not know the depths of our depravity, but HE knows our hearts and can make us well. (Jeremiah allusion, yes.)

If you make a mistake, 'come with your head in your hand' to own it. -Bryce Maschion. If you whoops, own it because HE didn't come to condemn but to save. Believe in HIM and have ever lasting life.
