Romans 11:27-36:
27For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.
28As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the father's sakes.
29For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.
30For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief:
31Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.
32For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.
33O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!
34For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor?
35Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?
36For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.

Here is what I gather from this...and I hope this will enlighten you in some way:
1- Never repent for any Gift or calling that God has blessed you with =)
2- Even though you may have once upon a time not believed in the Lord, you have seen the faith in those that did believe when you did not and once you came to your senses, you called upon the Lord and obtained mercy- and so through your mercy and your faith and grace that covers you and the Lord that is within you- others will see the works of you and the Lord in your life, and they too may obtain mercy.
3- It is our duty as obedient children of God, to keep on the armour of God from the time we awake until the time we go to sleep...(the armour of God is the word of God). Keep the mindset of Christ in your head and heart always and through that, others may see your light shining and God working through your life- and so they may be find Jesus- just like you did too. Keep preaching the Gospel (Mark 16:15)
4- Nothing belongs to us except Jesus and he to us- ALL THINGS BELONG TO GOD!
5- The most important things in life are not things of this world...the most important thing in Life should always be God and who should also be #1 in your life above all else, even those whom you love here on Earth....everything is just on loan to us through Jesus. The loan is over when God redeem's what it is his. GIVE HIM GLORY FOR IT ALL-EVEN WHEN HE TAKES IT AWAY. FEEL BLESSED THAT HE ALLOWED YOU TO HAVE WHAT YOU HAVE IN THIS LIFE FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME HE HAS ALLOWED IT TO BE. THE LORD GIVETH AND TAKETH AWAY. NEVER TAKE ANYTHING FOR GRANTED- ESPECIALLY YOUR SALVATION. Amen!
Feel free to post your thoughts on these verses. I love hearing what God's word is saying to you.
