Hebrews 6:4-12
New International Version (NIV)
4 It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit, 5 who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age 6 and who have fallen[a] away, to be brought back to repentance. To their loss they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting him to public disgrace. 7 Land that drinks in the rain often falling on it and that produces a crop useful to those for whom it is farmed receives the blessing of God. 8 But land that produces thorns and thistles is worthless and is in danger of being cursed. In the end it will be burned.
9 Even though we speak like this, dear friends, we are convinced of better things in your case—the things that have to do with salvation. 10 God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them. 11 We want each of you to show this same diligence to the very end, so that what you hope for may be fully realized. 12 We do not want you to become lazy, but to imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised.
Thank You Lord for the ability to praise you today. Thank you for waking me up. I would have preferred that it not have been 3:30 in the morning. I have not been able to sleep lately but I count it all as necessary. Spiritual maturity is necessary and I pray that I receive some of that maturity. God's will and God's promises are forever on our hearts. Once you know the Lord, it is impossible to go back. I won't go back. I need relationship with you to be solid. Mature, just and true. God is not unjust. I love you and want to make you happy. Your patience is growing thin. My resolve is solid. I am firm. My maturity has given me the realization that this is real. I have the ability to make it more or less. Authentic relationship is necessary for further development. I pray that I can never leave you. The real deal is what I seek. Not false, pretend, make believe. I want what is real. I can't settle. I seek God today. God is the presence that brings peace to my life. I want to walk with God. I want what God has for me. God I am dealing with these critters. It seems now we have something in the attic. Today the animal control people will come out. Now that means fixing the roof where ever they tore it up, cutting back the trees from the house very sharply so they don't get in again. Why do they have to be right over my bedroom. God, can't you just send them away? Get rid of them. But, nevertheless, I am with you Lord, stay close, I keep you close. God you know what I need. You know my prayers. You know my heart. Stay close. I love you and will mature with you. Be blessed and be a blessing to someone.
