This has made me consider  somthing you all have brought out  openly   , that has crossed my mind  over the years but was never as clearly as today!

In Isaiah 53 ;10  10 Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when you   make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.

  When we speak of the judgment seat of Christ   ,  could this be the  seat of emotions   we are to offer   by the  soul of  Christ in you the hope of glory ?

When we are  in the place of expressing  an emotion  in a trial of our faith  , we are to draw from HIS   Soul and life    working in us . and keep practicing   His daily sacrifice in our lives  , this love  for GOD  to others .
I cannot help but think of the catch phrase , What would Jesus do ?  or  Jesus what would you do  in this situation  ?   
and how it can help us to this day  in our trials of faith  in Him

   To actually draw from HIS  character  and seat of emotions   ,  He felt     fear  when on the cross of abandonment  of the Father when His perfect   nature  , become sin for us   and explains a lot  to me with the scriptures now .
  He felt anger when  turning over the tables of buying and selling   animal  sacrifices    for  atonement  and   forgiveness     of sins by the money exchangers  and  making   His Fathers   a den of thieves .

Betrayal   was felt on the cross by those shaming  Him , when the proverb , ''Physician heal yourself  '' was  declared .

as helpless as a lamb   to the slaughter   and yet   he never failed ever ..  His joy and happiness and fullness   with completeness  in the ability to  overcome the world by the power of His Fathers  love working though Him and in Him and for Him , the love expressed  with  true  purpose . 

Thank you and appreciate   each one of you  and Gods help   to overcome the world also   and its struggles .

  GIL  when my little ones were young , sometimes I would go in the bathroom and just cry out  to Jesus , in the secret place of our souls   on the alter     with overwhelming    doubts and saying to Him Lord I cannot do this without you ,

   please help me to overcome  my fears and  anger and  frustrations  ,

they are swallowing  me whole  , and until the  strength   and peace would come , His peace to comfort the troubled soul     within , I could do nothing of my own power , and found waiting on the Lord   was my greatest    challenge  though it all .

I love Gods grace and mercy   and in order to  express such  gratitude  , I must also show it to others  in kind and return .
   
Knowing and  now doing  we hope can be easier to draw  from Him   within us  and if He be  lifted up He shall also draw all mankind to HIMSELF   and the   desire  of Gods  pleasure will be done   that none should perish   but  know eternal Life/ Him  as we should . .

much love &  blessings   to all .
