You Cannot Live For Love And Ego
Nobody can serve two masters/natures. You can't live for love and ego.
But the natural (carnal, instinctual, egoistic) man does not receive the (virtuous) things of the Spirit (divine nature) of God (absolute love), for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually (supernaturally) discerned.1 Corinthians 2:14
In eternity, it's all very simple and perfectly natural. It's all to do with human nature and what's known as heaven, is the absolute, highest form and expression, the perfect, EGOLESS civilization of human nature and character While hell is the absolute, lowest, most primal form and expression, the pitiful pit of human nature and and character, and is absolutely uncivilized.
The highest form of human nature, is that of absolute, undying, true love in which your character comes from true love's characteristic virtues in absolute majesty, and your every thought comes from absolute, true love and is expressed in your words and deeds with majestic virtuousness (righteousness) without the slightest spot, stain, mark, blemish or shadow of pride, vanity, envy, selfishness, ambition, lust, greed, desire for creature comfort or fear for survival. That's the highest ideal we're all trying to reach, as individuals and as a civilization, whether you know it or not, believe it or not, understand it or not, like it or not.
The lowest, most primal, pitiful form/character of human nature, is that of THE BEAST of the carnal, instinctual, egoistic (self-centered & self-righteous) nature of the flesh and its characteristic pride, vanity, envy, selfishness, ambition, lust, greed, desire for creature comfort and/or fear for survival that God named Satan, man calls ego, and we who dwell in His eternal presence, realm and reality of absolute, true love and majestic virtuousness, His League of True Love (Heaven by another name) call, the sinful (unvirtuous), ignorant savage.
You can't overcome the beast of your flesh (get over yourself), by religiously attending a halfway house (church), memorizing and reciting scriptures like a parrot or doing good deeds with the best of intentions, etc. The ONLY WAY, is to forsake all and WALK the narrow path. For everything you have and that is in the world, has come from the characteristic pride, vanity, envy, selfishness, ambition, lust, greed, desire for creature comfort and fear for survival of the carnal, instinctual, egoistic nature of the flesh.
For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the (carnal, instinctual, egoistic) things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the (virtuous) things of the Spirit (divine nature). For to be carnally (instinctively & egoistically) minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal (instinctual, egoistic) mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law (virtues) of God (absolute love), nor indeed can be. So then, those who are in the flesh (corrupted, blinded, deceived, governed & ruled by their carnal instincts & ego) cannot please God.Romans 8:5-8
Contrary to the POPULAR (egoistic) belief of the false disciples in the halfway house (church), the narrow path is not a learning process that requires you to submissively sit like obedient schoolchildren in the pews of the halfway house, but a debrainwashing (cleansing) process that requires you to forsake all and WALK it, to be stripped, scrubbed and cleansed of every spot, stain, mark and blemish of the characteristic pride, vanity, envy and selfish ambition, etc., of the carnal, instinctual, egoistic nature of your flesh, and every trace of worldly cares, concerns, desires, hopes and dreams. In short, every wisp, whisper, shade and shadow of that which is not of the divine nature and characteristics of the one, true, living, Great Omniscient Deity of absolute, undying, true love and majestic virtuousness (righteousness), through the winepress, mill and wringer of the narrow path (school of hard knocks/experience).
"So likewise, WHOEVER OF YOU does not forsake all that he has, cannot be (IS NOT) My disciple."Luke 14:33
If you think sitting in a halfway house (church), memorizing and reciting scriptures like a parrot, etc., makes you a disciple, then you are deceiving YOURSELF. For the truth is, those who haven't forsaken all to WALK the path of TRUE discipleship are false disciples and lukewarm wannabes, who want to be like Christ, but are too corrupted, blinded, deceived, governed and ruled (brainwashed, stained/marked & led) by the beast of their flesh (Satan/ego), to do what it takes, and have no idea that they are their own worst enemy and are too full of themselves to "fit in" with the highest ideal, egoless civilization of Heaven and will go to where all the misfits go, the pit of hell.
But He turned and said to Peter, "Get behind Me, Satan (ego)! You are an offense to Me, for you are not mindful of the (virtuous) things of God (absolute love), but the (carnal, instinctual, egoistic) things of men."Matthew 16:23
Therefore, since we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold or silver or stone, something shaped by art and man's devising.Acts 17:29
To those who have obtained like precious faith with us by the righteousness (virtuousness) of our God and Savior Jesus Christ: Grace (gracefulness & graciousness) and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God (absolute love) and of Jesus our Lord (role model), as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who CALLED US BY GLORY AND VIRTUE, by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that THROUGH THESE you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust (and other characteristics of the carnal, instinctual, egoistic nature of the flesh).2 Peter 1:1-4
Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For as many as are led by the Spirit (divine nature) of God (absolute love), these are sons (and daughters) of God. For you did not receive the spirit of bondage (religiosity) again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption (Holy Ghost of God's divine nature & characteristics) by whom we cry out, "Abba, Father." The Spirit (Holy Ghost) Himself bears witness with our spirit (soul) that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs, heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.Romans 8:12-17
"We must through many tribulations enter the kingdom of God."Acts 14:22
Which is why those who have failed to act on God's one & ONLY, true & perfect will for every living soul He gave me to deliver as an invitation on His behalf, to come out of the carnal, instinctual, egoistic world altogether and all together in league with others, to live for love (God IS love) with all their heart, mind, body and soul (absolutely), according to true love's characteristic holiness, peacefulness, gracefulness and graciousness, with absolute equality, equanimity, humility, cooperativeness and joy, without the slightest care in the world, like a little child-at-heart, though far from childish, WILL BE left behind in the dust and ashes (Malachi 4), whether they believe it or not, understand it or not, like it or not, ready or not.

Justice: Justice draws the line. Forgiveness erases the wound. Together, they restore the soul.
Forgiveness is giving someone another chance after they have done something wrong. Everyone makes mistakes, including you. Forgiveness not only frees the one you forgive, it frees you too. Forgive yourself as well, when you know you've made a mistake and instead of carrying the guilt, ask for forgiveness, decide to act differently, and then be determined and have the faith that you can change.
"But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your trespasses."Mark 11:26
Challenge yourself to be aware of any and all opportunities to practice and apply forgiveness in your life this week, and the times you should have, but didn't because of the characteristic pride, vanity, envy, selfishness, ambition, lust, greed, desire for creature comfort and/or fear for survival of the carnal, instinctual, egoistic (self-centered) nature of your flesh.
