BEARETH ALL THINGS: MEANING

Well, what do we "bear?" - I'd like to bear my testimony... -  I bear witness... - …it's my cross to bear... -  I bear my afflictions ...hopefully with patience - "Grin and bear it." - to bear fruit   Webster 1828 Definitions: 1) One who bears, sustains or carries; a carrier, especially of a corpse to the grave. 2) One who wears anything as a badge or sword. 3) A tree or plant that yields its fruit as a good bearer. CONCLUSION I think it means: T o carry or own something, someone, or some experience. To bear with patience and faith seems to mean:  To CHOOSE to carry a burden. "I choose this stretching opportunity. I choose this, and my spirit is free" Joy in the journey.

Working in Weakness

I start... and stop, and start!... and stop, and start and stop, and so the circle goes with the blogging experience I've had. I write because my heart swells with a desire to share the goodness of God which I see in the world around. God is not dead! He is not sleeping either! To those who are diligently seeking him he is liberal with his knowledge and goodness, his majesty and his peace. Then I stop my action in sharing. I start feeling inadequate. Am I even qualified to teach about God and Christ? Am I even humble enough to do so? I've started SO many different blogs. Wanting to share!!....something. But maybe it's not a focused enough message, or maybe my platform needs to be different. Maybe this just wasn't meant to be done by someone like me. Or how about this fear! I can get carried away by the praise of the world. Literally like a feather in the wind. SO carried away. Do I have the strength to only write and share what the spirit invites me to, rather than what...
