Jonathan Edwards Resolution :
31. Resolved, never to say anything at all against anybody, but when it is perfectly agreeable to the highest degree of Christian honor, and of love to mankind, agreeable to the lowest humility, and sense of my own faults and failings, and agreeable to the golden rule; often, when I have said anything against anyone, to bring it to, and try it strictly by the test of this Resolution

That is one more thing that I am working on. The tongue can be so damaging!
Just blog hopping. Nice blog. Beautiful background!
He gets right to the heart, doesn’t he! Thank you for posting this resolution. Blessings, Laurie
good word that is soooo Christ honoring as well as other honoring. the result is a peaceful loving spirit within ourselves.
This is an on going lesson isn’t it? I think we tend to talk about others we resent. But I heard someone talking about resentment and said that if we would just pray for them and pray blessings on them with concern that God would change them then the resentment goes away. It is hard to pray for them and still be resentful. This was such a help to me. Of course God does not what us to resent anyone, that is wrong. So praying for them helped me and the talking about them has gone too. Yes and now Peace!!
RYP – They are here until the week-end – Suz goes back Friday night, and Liz will be going back Sunday night. I am already getting that ugly feeling in my stomach…
Georgene, thanks so much for giving us the link to your blog today on TAS! I’ve enjoyed looking around. Sister Ellis sounds wonderful, and so does the soup.
God bless you today,

I just started reading your articles on your other site. They are just what I was desiring deep in my heart. I am blessed to know that there is such hope and freedom in surrender. God is calling me farther up and farther in–and your articles are like medicine.
You just may be the Titus 2 woman that I need in my life.

Isn’t it awesome to know that EVERYTHING we need for our life is found through the knowledge of HIM! He is so worthy of our praise! 2 Peter 1:3
