Poverty of the heart

Poverty of the Heart


When I look at the things that I used to be involved in, It took me 34 years to figure out that I was running out of options. My life was running on spiritual bankrupt which you can also say that I was living in poverty of the heart. I jumped into one bed into another bed. I went from one fun fix to another fun fix. I was all about buzzes and adrenaline rushes. I wanted to run the show. I knew what was best for me lacking the knowledge of others. I remember the early years as I began to rebell against my parents. That is where my probems began to arise. You see, God is a God of order in authority. We have to put ourselves under Gods authority or we will be hammered by hell, pelted with problems and drenched in dysfunction. In the Garden of Eden, God made man and then out of Adams rib he made Eve. Now there was a tree out of the garden in which they were both not to eat from. One day, Eve was tricked by the evil one into eating from this tree and then she gave a piece of the fruit to Adam. Because God is a God of order, He did not say Eve where are you, but he said in Genesis 3:9. But the Lord God called to the man, "Where are you?"

In Exodus 20, the first four comandments deal with our verticle relationship with God. Number 5 is very crucial because not only does it deal with our horizontal relationships with other people but it deals with our relationships with our parents. 20:12 Honor your father and your mother. I missed the mark along time ago and because I missed the mark I am a collosal collection of moral foulups. How many of you have used an unbrella to get out from under the rain? It would seam akward for us to have an umbrella in our hand and walk not inside of the umbrella, but outside of the umbrella getting hammered by hail, pellted by problems and drenched in dysfunction. Today, God is my umbrella. The 10 commandments are there to protect us from all the consequences of problems if we do not follow Gods plan. You have to get under the things that God has placed over you so you can get over the things God has placed under you. When I am under the umbrella of God then I am protected and when I am protected then I can enjoy the blessings of God. Sure I am going to have problems but my insurance is that God is in control over everything. I wake up and give him those problems becauase he is a bigger God than I am. What are some symptoms of poverty of the heart,

Irritable, negative, hopelessness, helplessness, being tired, depression, grief, anger, invy, jelousy, pride, resentments

I in the past have tried to give God roles to people in my life, but the people in my life are not God. In Mathew 11:28, God says, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest"

Why do people who so desperately want others to see their point-of-view do so much to make their point-of-view look stupid?
