Hebrews 11:40 ...God had planned something better for us so that only together with us would they be made perfect.
There is a better that is BITTER and there is a better that is BETTER.
Better is BITTER when better is BEFORE - stop looking back to the past and wishing things could go back to before such and such time.
Better is BITTER when better is SOMEONE OTHER THAN ME - stop comparing yourself to others...there will be someone better than you...more talented than you...more beautiful than you...more capable than you...but you are also all those things to someone else...so stop comparing!
When PRIDE is involved in your comparisons better is BITTER.
When HUMILITY is involved in your comparisons better is truly BETTER.
Better is BITTER when better is THE ROUTE I DIDN'T TAKE - Regret is KILLING us!
Hebrews 12:18-24 New International Version (NIV)
The Mountain of Fear and the Mountain of Joy
18 You have not come to a mountain that can be touched and that is burning with fire; to darkness, gloom and storm; 19 to a trumpet blast or to such a voice speaking words that those who heard it begged that no further word be spoken to them, 20 because they could not bear what was commanded: “If even an animal touches the mountain, it must be stoned to death.”[a] 21 The sight was so terrifying that Moses said, “I am trembling with fear.”[b] 22 But you have come to Mount Zion, to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem. You have come to thousands upon thousands of angels in joyful assembly, 23 to the church of the firstborn, whose names are written in heaven. You have come to God, the Judge of all, to the spirits of the righteous made perfect, 24 to Jesus the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel.
Better is BITTER when better is WHAT YOU SHOULD HAVE KNOWN! 18 You have not come to a mountain that can be touched and that is burning with fire; to darkness, gloom and storm; 19 to a trumpet blast or to such a voice speaking words that those who heard it begged that no further word be spoken to them, 20 because they could not bear what was commanded: “If even an animal touches the mountain, it must be stoned to death.”[a] 21 The sight was so terrifying that Moses said, “I am trembling with fear.”[b] 22 But you have come to Mount Zion, to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem. You have come to thousands upon thousands of angels in joyful assembly, 23 to the church of the firstborn, whose names are written in heaven. You have come to God, the Judge of all, to the spirits of the righteous made perfect, 24 to Jesus the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel.
I should have known better is being a fool.
I did know better is failure.
A trap of the enemy is the lie that when we know better we do better - but this is not always true!
WE HAVE GOT TO MOVE ON - TAKE ON THE FULL FORGIVENESS OFFERED TO US THROUGH JESUS CHRIST AND MOVE ON!
2 Corinthians 7:10 New International Version (NIV)
10 Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death.
Obedience blesses us! Today is the day to move on!
Better is BETTER when better is the BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST.
Better is BETTER when better is A SAVIOR - JESUS CHRIST.
Better is BETTER when better is GOD'S LOVE - Choose to love again...We are not in God's will when we are not in God's love - To abide in God's love is to abide in God's will - God is mad about YOU!
Better is BETTER when better is GOD'S WAY.
AND FINALLY - Better is BETTER when better is A COUNTRY!
Hebrews 11:39-40 New International Version (NIV)
Better is BETTER when better is the BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST.
Better is BETTER when better is A SAVIOR - JESUS CHRIST.
Better is BETTER when better is GOD'S LOVE - Choose to love again...We are not in God's will when we are not in God's love - To abide in God's love is to abide in God's will - God is mad about YOU!
Better is BETTER when better is GOD'S WAY.
AND FINALLY - Better is BETTER when better is A COUNTRY!
Hebrews 11:39-40 New International Version (NIV)
39 These were all commended for their faith, yet none of them received what had been promised, 40 since God had planned something better for us so that only together with us would they be made perfect.
