Yes, being appreciative are feelings when they are in the forefront of your mind. That is why when we congregate we need praise services to bring those feelings forward. We come together with the world on our shoulders weighing us down. Once we start praising God we throw off that worldly oppression and rejoice. The joy of the Lord is my strength (Neh. 8:10).
Good morning fellow peeps. Let us do praise the Lord today. For the Lord is good and His truth and mercy endure forever!
Morning @kodiak and everybody else.
Good Morning! How are you?
now compare that with this.......
I prefer the looks of the Elio...much safer and in many states counts as a motorcycle.

an experiential crisis <-- so that might explain "feeling fake" or "inner reluctance"
the audacity to let the Lord Jesus Christ <-- the audacity, that word can be potentially helpful, ... let the lord Jesus, that can also feel "crucifying, and we are scared of being crucified"
likeness of Himself <-- so this is the part that never fails
slave, for every message you make, I can see that you are naturally good at making quality thread in cc.com

No appreciation along with thankfulness is a recognition and a decision to have gratitude toward good qualities. Thus, feelings can be involved, but in no way become the premise of such an experience.
No, (Matthew 7:12) becomes the ownership of selflessness as we put others before ourselves, in view of knowing our needs and delights. For here we do not think more highly of ourselves than we ought, but see ourselves in the economy of Our Lord and Savior; and thus are rightly aligned with our Father thru Jesus Christ in a righteous relationship..
now compare that with this.......
Exactly! The first is a Sunday bike so shine the light and the other is Mon-Sat bike because it has you in Christ also written all over it!
YO.. there's no bad spelling in this post. Why the bad spelling reaction??
To become one with Jesus Christ, a person must be willing not only to give up sin, but also to surrender his whole way of looking at things. Being born again by the Spirit of God means that we must first be willing to let go before we can grasp something else. The first thing we must surrender is all of our pretense or deceit. What our Lord wants us to present to Him is not our goodness, honesty, or our efforts to do better, but real solid sin. Actually, that is all He can take from us. And what He gives us in exchange for our sin is real solid righteousness. But we must surrender all pretense that we are anything, and give up all our claims of even being worthy of God’s consideration.
Once we have done that, the Spirit of God will show us what we need to surrender next. Along each step of this process, we will have to give up our claims to our rights to ourselves. Are we willing to surrender our grasp on all that we possess, our desires, and everything else in our lives? Are we ready to be identified with the death of Jesus Christ?
We will suffer a sharp painful disillusionment before we fully surrender; hence, the experiential crisis at first. When people really see themselves as the Lord sees them, it is not the terribly offensive sins of the flesh that shock them, but the awful nature of the pride of their own hearts opposing Jesus Christ. When they see themselves in the light of the Lord, the shame, horror, and desperate conviction hit home for them.
If you are faced with the question of whether or not to surrender, make a determination to go on through the crisis, surrendering all that you have and all that you are to Him. And God will then equip you to do all that He requires of you. This is having the audacity to allow the Lord be indeed your Sovereign Lord and Master.
I meant "self - less - ness" - and not selfishness - which was my point - I did not misspell it. Just so you know ... was that what you were thinking? That I misspelt selfishness? I pray this clears it up for you loverofJesus..

Our Lord is not about being an ideal - but rather He is about being our real deal!
