OMG, face plant here. I am totally guilty of that, especially the passage in James. I walk away and immediately forget what I saw. It's more a window than a mirror. I'm a scripture searcher too. This post was humbling and contemplative. Thank you for bringing to light my hidden agenda in the word!!!

Oh, it’s so easy to do! Honestly took me decades to read it from the view of looking for Him ❤️

I LOVE THIS! I heard a wise pastor once say “I don’t read the Bible- the Bible reads me”. There is so much in scripture about the Bride of Christ being “washed by the word”. I never understood this until this season. It’s amazing!

Sarah...yes it was me as well. I was led by my then pastor to flip the Bible and there will be a word for me...then I would do that, get confused and embroil myself deeper into the misinterpretation of some leaders to the flock of Jesus! Oh, I must admit, I was totally lost, and I became self-righteous and placed myself on a pedestal. I became a proud person, thinking I knew it all, and it nearly cost me dearly! He is not to be made fun of, and His Word is Holy, and I used it like a fortune teller!! Praise God, He took me from the miry clay and placed my foot upon a rock called Jesus! I came to know the truth, and it set me free!!! Praise His Holy Name and His Grace in my life!

Oh me too! I had to learn to change the way I read God’s word and it’s been a game changer ❤️
