"...And if you remember, then follow...follow...follow."

REMEMBER...REMEMBER...WE SEEM TO REMEMBER THE THINGS OF THE PAST THAT HURT US MORE THAN FOCUSING ON REMEMBERING THE GOOD THINGS, THE RIGHT THINGS, THE SUCCESSFUL THINGS ...THE THINGS  THE BIBLE GIVES US THAT SPEAK OF THE LORD.  HOW ABOUT THIS STATEMENT:  "COMMITMENT TO REMEMBERING IS REALLY A CONDITION OF THE HEART THAT CHARACTERIZES A LIFESTYLE."  CAN YOU ADD "REMEMBER" TO MY PREVIOUS STATEMENTS OF SERVICE, CREATIVITY, AND POSSESSIONS?  I CAN; IT SEEMS ALMOST NATURAL AND SUPRENATURIAL WHEN ANY OF THESE DIFFEREING WORDS IS PRACTICED.  IS IT A MATTER OF WHETHER OUR WORLD VIEW OF LIFE AND LIVING IS CENTERED ON THE WORLD AND THE WORLD'S SYSTEMS OR A FOCUS ON THE LORD AND HIS LIFE...IN US?  FOR A DISCIPLE OF JESUS TO LIVE THE LIFE GIVEN TO US, WE MUST BEGIN THE PROCESS OF LOOKING CAREFULLY AT WHETHER OR NOT WE FOLLOW OUR LORD'S LIFE OR SOMETHING...ANYTHING ELSE FOR DIRECTION, AND TRUTH.  THAT'S A PROCESS OF MOVING FROM A JESUS DISCIPLE TO A  JESUS TALMID.
