The ladder to heaven

[john josephson]

My brothers!

 

Much love guys!  Okay so here we have a calling from God that I look to as a step ladder.  See the order! It starts with faith moves to virtue and virtue knowledge then to self control then perseverance then godliness then to brotherly kindness then lastly Love!   Oh how much we much we must attain to Love the way Christ intended... Unfortunately when I read this and meditated I found myself still in the struggles of the earlier and this is why I do not even come near the latter...   But one thing is do not forget the beginning of the verses... these are God's promises that He has given us so you know He will be faithful! 

 

So please read this and see where you are!  You need to see  where you are  to see where you are going!

 

Okay fellas,  I'm away this weekend but please keep me in your prayers!  I love u guys very much!

 

Humbly,

JJ

Today's Quiet Time

Friday, February 20, 2009 Posted: 19 Feb 2009 11:00 PM CST Simon Peter, a bondservant and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who have obtained like precious faith with us by the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ: Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Peter 1:1-8
