Another entrance qouted from Oswald Chambers: If I love a human being and do not love God, I demand of him every perfection and every rectitude, and when I do not get it I become cruel and vindictive, I am demanding of a human being that which she or he cannot give.
What does this say to me? That if I do not love God then I am expecting way to much from the people in my life. I expect them to be perfect and to meet all my expectations. I am not leaning on God's Perfection and holiness! I need to trust God and realize that no one ... not one person is perfect and we all have our faults and short-comings in life.
I will choose to trust God and I choose not to judge others! One day I will sit in the judgement seat and be judged by the only one that has a right to judge me!

Do You know Him yet?
Oswald Chambers describes in one of his sermons: Unless I can look the darkest, blackest fact full in the face without damaging God's character, I do not yet know Him.
What does this say to me? It says unless I can look sin or temptation right in the face without falling into that trap then I do not know God. If I know God I know that I am no longer that person that once gave into that life-style.
It is not an easy choice to say: "I no longer choose to live like this or that" but at sometime in my life I have to choose! Some will think that they don't have to choose that they can live their life any way they want. But what they don't realize is that ... in saying that, they have already chose! They have chose to live a life with-out God! What will I choose?
