Tried and True

My feet have followed in His tracks; I have kept to His way and not turned aside. He is unchangable; Who can oppose Him? He does what He desires. He will certainly accomplish what He has decreed for me.

Job 23:11-14

The One who sent me is true and what I have heard from Him, these things I tell the world. Just as The Father taught Me, I say these things. The One who sent Me is with Me. He has not left Me alone, because I always do what pleases Him.

John 8:26-29

Alex is a young free soloing rock climber, rock climbing without any gear. A reporter asked him when he would quit. He didn't say, when his strength or courage ran out, he said he would quit when he did not love pursuing to do more of it any more. When his heart stops loving, he will stop free soloing. Until then, though his body is frail, he will keep climbing as long as his heart loves the pursuit. The really awesome thing about The Savior is the pursuit for more of Him will never be satisfied, not for me and I pray not for you. If the angels don't tire of worship and they are angels then I believe I am a solid, the angels did not have a rough and rebellious past like me that makes His love so overwhelmingly awe inspiring.

The angels who are in His presence NEVER TIRE of worshipping Him. I have been getting up between 4 and 4:30 every morning for years. Not just so I could pray or read or memorize scripture. No, I get up because He is here waiting for our morning to start. Getting me prepped for His day. Getting me prepped for my day. To tire of loving and pursuing Him is to lose it all. I can't quit because He won't. I want to be tried and true. I do not want to grieve Him, I want to please Him.

Genesis 6:6, Matthew 5:6
