I get profound ideas, at least I see it that way, and I want to share some of the workings of my mind. Some of the ideas I string together may not makes sense at first glance, but pray about it, and let me know if I may be onto something, or if I'm just babbling.

I feel inspired to write all of this. I've was studying Mental Illness and reading Tim LaHaye's Spirit-Controlled Temperament at the same time. It made for some very interesting connections. I am applying what Dr. LaHaye laid out in his book. He was not and will not be the first or last to lay out temperament in these specific behavioral characteristics.

Enjoy!

Even Christ said not to judge others lets you be judged in the same light.
In the case of false apology, it would seem that somebody is doing the judging to determine that the apology is false.

The fact that the person apologized, even if the person didn't feel as if anything was done to make cause for it, then it is not a false apology.
Sometimes a person can misunderstand or even misconstrue what another person says. Why is a good question, since this does not promote good feelings in anyone involved.

I've been accused of such a thing and it was unwarranted. I got called all kinds of things that was not true. So then it was a contentious lie.

What is false humilty? Is there such a thing?

Any questions about these habits before I start focusing on more positive elements of temperament?

These habits you are bringing up are of the flesh and not spiritual. The Holy Spirit while you practice free course
will push what is flesh out, refilling the vacuum produced by dross burning with spiritual laws, love and truth

Faith overcomes fear.
Joshua, Caleb and 10 more went to spy on the enemie!
This is a perfect example of the operation of faith in one's perception or the absence of faith
it being replaced by fear! What Joshua and Caleb witnessed had nothing in common with their 10compatriots!

While reminding ourselves of these fruits of the spirit, I am reminded of the whole armour of God we never take off, in Ephesians 6: Trust your armour!

We just need to get off of our rusty-dusties and get out and reach out to strangers. The fruit which helps overcome this fear of meeting new people and encountering difficult situations will be covered in a soon-to-come entry: faith.

You may look into what I am about to say deeper. It is so important. I hear no one speaking of this? God has wanted a Heavenly Divine family and planned from the beginning how His will be done. His only begotten son
Jesus , His Spirit resurrecting in the many membered body, I decreasing as He increasing, He in us, and We in Him, a new creation, a new church, tabernackle and covenant. He the chief corner stone and head stone, All marching as one and one body, in marriage. Welcome. the fully manifested Sons of God. Brothers and co-heirs to Jesus' inheiritence. His plan, God's will, Perfected by faith in and by the Blood of the Lamb.

There is mystery still in and around understanding the substance and action, spiritual purposes God designed into faith. Here are a couple ideas surrounding faith you may find interesting and worth exploring a little deeper.
Abraham is the Father of faith and the Father of many nations. In the Book of Hebrews we find that faith of the cloud of witnesses is turned into something else and that this something else is of immense spiritual value!
Faith, God imputes to His son's righteousness which now is an intregal part of the believers essence! They have been washed by the blood of Christs' perfect sacrifice and His spirit is in them and is them as it is Him! This substitution, purifies, sanctifies, and Glorifies, those who have this faith. These all now are brothers to Christ and Sons as He is to His Father! By faith the line of Judah is spliced into stretching through Jesus, David to the Father of many nations,Abraham, who also is the father of faith! God's covenant, this new creature, new wine in a new wineskin, not like the bloodlines belonging to the past! The Priestly immortal line of Melchezildec, replacing Arron and the mortal levitt priesthood of Moses day. All have made way for the better as prophesiad by God's Holy Prophets from the beginning. Here I will place this scripture, let us contemplate it and see what can be discovered?
Hebrews 11:39-40.
And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise: God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect. Heb. 12:10 God chastening for our
profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness

Is there anything else yet to say about meekness?

Confidence is knowing Gods will by staying in His Word and being willing to do His will. To a Christian practicing false humility he is trying to pass for meekness, he may see a confidant Christ follower as arrogant, when it is not!
Spiritual meekness is attentive humility but not weakness!

Wow. A person could take classes in this and still not fully understand it. Well maybe they would but it sure is interesting.

Tracey,
Thanks so much for the great comments about my BLOG. I see that you've started one as well. I bought the book you purchased by Tim LaHaye. I think that's the way you spell it. It was so interesting. I like books like that because they help you to grow spirtually!
Take care and keep writing! Another book that is great in helping your writing is "The Artist Way" by Julia Cameron. Be sure and check it out.
