first off, praise God for all that He is doing. just taking moments from a busy schedule to climb a tree and reflect is so important... just notice the birds singing their songs of life...
and in the midst of this, i am becoming more aware of something... a greater love, one that was spend fully for me and is still being poured out continually.
reading emails, chatting with those i work with or who come in for a drink...
considering the last years of intense but subtle growth and that which will still happen that it may be more poured out from myself too... it is coming down to one thing.
Jesus.
a love He carried for those that would hang Him in shame and humiliation. a source of deep passionate strength He lived from that forced the world to rethink their own motives and source.
a friend just wrote about struggles they have been going through... deep struggles that i dont believe i could start to comprehend.. and through it all, he was shown that he was fought for.
he wrote.. it doesnt matter whether i read my Bible and pray, or not because i have an occasion severely neglected them both.. He is with me because He wants to be.. because He fights for me.
paul writes in the first chapter of galatians.. He became the offering according to God, our Fathers will, and died for our sins to rescue us from this evil world in which we live.
i suppose it would be stupid of me to carry on more and more.. but i can say that it is becoming more and more real to me and my heart is undergoing some serious surgical reconstruction.. removing gunk and scum that have build up in its chambers to which the world belongs, that the world has filled up with several dogmas, religions, requirements of the law and opinions from those who misuse authority to oppress.
what child could fulfill such a life that the world asks of it..
what child could fulfill such a life that Jesus asks of it......
who are we trying to live up to...
each email i receive has given me joy and shared love because of the friendships that i have been blessed with in this life. i thank God for you all.
i am looking so forward to the time with kathy, her family and all who are so dear to me in germany. may His will be done in our meetings and time together.
and to all those in india, keep the courage to love and may His grace continue to fill all that He leads you in. He created such creative hearts in everyone.. but most dont know we are allowed to use them. become who He made you to be.
much love, His
