Further, if it is your desire to use those type of “toys” in your MARRIAGE, that is your choice. The marriage bed is honorable in all, according to the Hebrew writer.
Back to my usual ramblings: I had an unusual dream this last week. It was me watching myself as a young child bouncing back and forth between two parallel universes. Whatever I took to the second universe, duplicated itself and stayed in the second.
My younger self realized that whenever he messed up in the first universe, he could re-do in the second universe, thus “un-doing” his
mistakes.
But, then my dream self had to stop my younger self and explain that if I didn’t learn how to correct the problem, instead of re-doing it, I could end up “dead” in both universes.
I remember a few years ago reading Dean Koontz’ “Strange Highways.” One of the stories showed this guy getting a chance to solve the problem over and over again. The problem with the story was there was no “out of chances” eminent.
We are all going to mess up. The thing is this: when we do, we have to do our best to compensate for the screw-up, as well as to learn from the mistake so as not to repeat it.
It’s this compensating, or at worst, learning to live with, the error in question that makes us tougher. Just not repeating the mistake IS NOT ENOUGH!
Some may consider this a pretty deep topic, but I think it bears thought. How many times have you not compensated or learned to live with the error when you have screwed-up? Is it causing you emotional scars, or are you leaving someone in pain because you didn’t compensate for the problem?
Just something to think about.
There’s some confusion about “manifestation,” and why people do not always get what they want.
I stumbled across the following in the books of James, chapter 4, verses 2 and 3, that I think might help clear it up.
‘
2You want something but don’t get it. You kill and covet, but you cannot have what you want. You quarrel and fight. You do not have, because you do not ask God. 3When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.
I’ve tried to explain before that if you don’t get what you want, it’s because something better is coming. But, now you also need to understand that if you have the wrong motives, you will not get what you want.
It’s about aligning yourself with God’s rules for the universe. Instead of just following your own lust, and spending your money on that, it’s about doing what is right. If the purpose is right, then God will allow it.
I’d love to hear you all’s comments on this one!
Make it a great day in the Lord!
Brother Paul
