Who keeps score?


Hebrews 13:5 

Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have.

For He, Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”

 

Who keeps the score?

 

Having all you can do ... doing your best not to mention

Who will be the judge of that and in whose interpretation?

“All” means all with no room to grow ... a form of completion

and that is achieved when glorified ... the root of faith’s foundation

 

Where are hidden within ourselves the levels of expectation?

Where for goodness sake are our values stored?

Do levels change when we go through depression?

Who measures achievements and who keeps the score?

 

Who is interested in the frailty of our being?

Who protects us willingly from the harm we do to self?

Who never gives up when we’re from self-fleeing?

Who is always there to provide strength as you know so well?
