"Left to motive alone and unshakable faith"

For a christian, the challenge of this
life comes when our flesh reaches
the end of our strength… the faith
we have is taxed to all we believe,
this is where God holds all power…
when God controls the outcome, our
faith is what keeps us intact… and to know
God is our hope, our weakness relieve,
it has been said,“The road to hell is
paved with good intentions,” and it is
the motivation behind the intentions that
truly shows the conception of desire…
and if our own convictions do not offer
the perception of compassion… of a
saving salvation… we will not be effective to
share the faith to stop one before the fire.

"Left to motive alone and unshakable faith" by Russell Holder

It is found in the Bible that broad is the gate many would follow through… attempting to get to heaven but narrow is the very gate itself. I believe the gate to be the width of a man, and the man that all must enter through is Jesus. Unless you have been accepted by Him it will account for naught… unless He knows you as one of His own it will account for naught, unless you are covered by the blood of Jesus (as in the passover)… all your efforts will have been in vain, and this is the only way to gain access to heaven itself- the New Jerusalem that comes.

I do not usually comment on religious or for that matter political writes. Just want to say, I am open to all beliefs, and respect all beliefs that of course, do not harm anyone in any way. It is just a privilege to stop by your work because you are a man of strong convictions and a most excellent writer. hugs my friend. xoxoxoxoxxo
I accept this in high regard Shar, for it means there is something here that might intrigue another to feel the same way, to move one to contemplate or ponder on the words as they are written, and, hopefully, to reach a space of comprehension… where this will truly do the most good. A big hug back Shar and thank you for your very gracious comment. xo

When we are at our weakest… He is there in strength. When we are empty… He is the fullness of our very lives. When I claim to know Him and can be less than I am… it is then Him you’ll see, and this is where I strive to be found on a daily basis. Many are the days I do not reach this ideal space… but I’m human and it doesn’t mean I should stop trying… it means I should try harder. Thanks Pop’s!
