Just me trying to be honest with God.

"Be yourself" is about the worst advice you can give some people. Tom Masson

“A man without self-control is like a city broken into and left without walls.” Pro.25

It is usually a good idea to practice some personal restraint. Most of us show our back side when we let loose. I wanted to write something different but then I would be showing mine. This is the problem when we tell people to be themselves because much of who we are is not fit to be seen in public. It is interesting though, that being yourself is probably a good idea where God is concerned. One brother said that we must bring to God who we are, not who we think we should be. It is no use trying to be anything different since He already knows everything about us. Our fig leaves may dress us up in public but not with God. He must clothe our nakedness and does so with the robes of Christ. 4/21/2011 Conversations Within ts (Oak Mountain, AL)
