oH FATHER GOD, LET ME ALWAYS HEAR YOUR WORD! I have read Jesus' word in John 8 and i say unto You Heavenly Father to stand by me when i am weak and give me strength to always do what is right. I pray Father for the wisdom of Your SON Jesus to be strong in me as a parent and to do what is right before the children that you have blessed upon me. Lord please speak to them too, let them hear Your Word and Know what is Your Will. Let not the sin of Fornication separate us from you oh GOD. Let Your Will be Done; As i continue to want what i get for I stand in YOU! You are in Control and I am at Your Feet.
Jhn 8:32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."
Jhn 8:33 They answered Him, "We are Abraham's descendants, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How [can] You say, 'You will be made free'?"
Jhn 8:34 Jesus answered them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin.
Jhn 8:35 And a slave does not abide in the house forever, [but] a son abides forever.
Jhn 8:36 Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.
Jhn 8:37 "I know that you are Abraham's descendants, but you seek to kill Me, because My word has no place in you.
Jhn 8:38 I speak what I have seen with My Father, and you do what you have seen with [fn] your father."
Jhn 8:39 They answered and said to Him, "Abraham is our father." Jesus said to them, "If you were Abraham's children, you would do the works of Abraham.
Jhn 8:40 But now you seek to kill Me, a Man who has told you the truth which I heard from God. Abraham did not do this.
Jhn 8:41 You do the deeds of your father." Then they said to Him, "We were not born of fornication; we have one Father--God."
Jhn 8:42 Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I proceeded forth and came from God; nor have I come of Myself, but He sent Me.
Jhn 8:43 Why do you not understand My speech? Because you are not able to listen to My word.
Jhn 8:44 You are of [your] father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own [resources], for he is a liar and the father of it.
Jhn 8:45 But because I tell the truth, you do not believe Me.
Jhn 8:46 Which of you convicts Me of sin? And if I tell the truth, why do you not believe Me?
Jhn 8:47 He who is of God hears God's words; therefore you do not hear, because you are not of God."
Jhn 8:48 Then the Jews answered and said to Him, "Do we not say rightly that You are a Samaritan and have a demon?"
Jhn 8:49 Jesus answered, "I do not have a demon; but I honor My Father, and you dishonor Me.

for·ni·ca·tion (fôr'nĭ-kā'shən)
n. Sexual intercourse between partners who are not married to each other.
Word History: The word fornication had a lowly beginning suitable to what has long been the low moral status of the act to which it refers. The Latin word fornix, from which fornicātiō, the ancestor of fornication, is derived, meant "a vault, an arch." The term also referred to a vaulted cellar or similar place where prostitutes plied their trade. This sense of fornix in Late Latin yielded the verb fornicārī, "to commit fornication," from which is derived fornicātiō, "whoredom, fornication." Our word is first recorded in Middle English about 1303.

Fornication
For`ni*ca"tion\, n. [F. fornication, L. fornicatio.]
1. Unlawful sexual intercourse on the part of an unmarried person; the act of such illicit sexual intercourse between a man and a woman as does not by law amount to adultery.
Note: In England, the offense, though cognizable in the ecclesiastical courts, was not at common law subject to secular prosecution. In the United States it is indictable in some States at common law, in others only by statute. --Whartyon.
2. (Script.) (a) Adultery. (b) Incest. (c) Idolatry.

fornication
c.1300, from O.Fr. fornication, from L.L. fornicationem (nom. fornicatio), from fornicari "fornicate," from L. fornix (gen. fornicis) "brothel," originally "arch, vaulted chamber" (Roman prostitutes commonly solicited from under the arches of certain buildings), from fornus "oven of arched or domed shape." Strictly, "voluntary sex between an unmarried man and an unmarried woman;" extended in the Bible to adultery.

Fornication
in every form of it was sternly condemned by the Mosaic law (Lev. 21:9; 19:29; Deut. 22:20, 21, 23-29; 23:18; Ex. 22:16). (See ADULTERY.) But this word is more frequently used in a symbolical than in its ordinary sense. It frequently means a forsaking of God or a following after idols (Isa. 1:2; Jer. 2:20; Ezek. 16; Hos. 1:2; 2:1-5; Jer. 3:8,9).

Commit vs Committed
WOW i didn't know this word was SO BIG.....Or DID I? I was invited to a Disciple class with friends. The invitation was a general invitation to many i am sure. Within the content of the invitation read, "only for those that are committed to HEAR THE WORD and then be DOERS OF THE WORD." ............…
So I thought the word Committed and Doers together scared me! I am commanded to be a doer and feel like a failure because i am not "Comfortable" spreading the gospel as a "Disciple" although i have some of the words in my heart not many stay in my memory. Although I AM Not Afraid to acknowledge HIM for ALL HE Does in me and my life; I have fear of the world and those in it that my challenge me or my faith.
SO what does it mean to commit - 8 dictionary results (i think more than 8 don't count too many) AND Is there a difference to be Committed? Let's e Honest there is too much reading below for me to read and analyse in one setting, not to mention it's time to get ready for work, that is NOT being a DOER is it? See my dilemma?
I made it down to Usage i commented and Bolded some thoughts :)

To intrust denotes the act of committing to the exercise of confidence or trust; as, to intrust a friend with the care of a child, or with a secret. To consign is a more formal act, and regards the thing transferred as placed chiefly or wholly out of one's immediate control; as, to consign a pupil to the charge of his instructor; to consign goods to an agent for sale; to consign a work to the press.

I am bored, lonely, tired of being a single parent, don't want to Date, Love my job but things are messing up lately, sales are good but not enough store calls, being hard on myself? or really need to focus better? play too much on the computer, not in the word as much lately, noticed i am slouching lately, Seem to be complaining too....Oldest Child getting married, so they say~so saving money for that, Middle child has shown great signs of Maturity and doing better in school, but then every time i say this it goes hay wire, youngest child is goin thru puberty and is unpredictable, i have a new friend who is also recently single and going thru stuff, Mr L asks why i spend so much time with her but yet is dating A lot in his own words so why can't i have a single friend since neither of us are ready to date or commit again? In fact we are going to play BINGO!! we entered into a Car Sweepstakes and after we entered we realized it would cost us more in gas and insurance than everything we pay on our current vehicles. LOL ticket waiting to happen she said, it's a RED Camero with Black Racing Stripes HOPE I WIN!!!! I have tried to get into the word lately and just can't do it....SO Since all the above stuff has been going thru my head in the last hour i thought NO MORE EXCUSES the WORD!
Psalm 112:1 Praise ye the LORD. Blessed [is] the man [that] feareth the LORD, [that] delighteth greatly in his commandments. Reflection
Blessed is the man who repents and believes! God shall give Him that rest promised from the beginning. Yes, the believer shall receive blessing upon blessing in the very gospel promise of Christ Himself. By His obedience unto righteousness, even we to be made righteous. By His death unto the cross, even we are made just. By His resurrection unto life, even we are made unto new life. And by His ascension to His heavenly throne, even we are exalted to His right hand. His eternal Sabbath rest is the Sabbath rest of we, His people. Indeed, we are blessed! Beyond imagining are we blessed!
OKAY works for me How about You?

Amazing Grace came up???Yes we are glad in Him for He has made us glad but not what i was expecting to pick up my spirits...second chance???
Take My Life my all time prayer and should be my sole thoughts always
