Marked?


Do we see what we are?  Or is our brain stuck in religion?  Do we hope for the best while we live in the worst?  Or do we actively search for release?

God will give glory to that which is glorious.  How can we possibly let ourselves be deceived?

Kelly Willard sang a song about willingness, “If you don’t have a willing heart ask him to give you one”.  It is wise to answer now.  Do we even ask for help?

The lumps are coming.  Will you take yours today or receive them in full measure at the coming day of revealing?  If we are covered with shame now, it does no good to ignore it.

Decades ago I read a story of a thief who was caught.  When they put the handcuffs on, he asked the sheriff how he knew.  The sheriff gave him a very odd look.  “Son, you have a birthmark that covers half your face!”

Let’s try hard to find a mirror.

Faithful in Poverty. Warriors of Righteousness.

I reign in Majesty!

Will you receive me in rags?

I offer you Eternal Life!

Will you accept death all alone from My hand?

I Am the purpose and Creator of Life.

Will you serve me though no one notices?

Mine is the Eternal Spring of Joy!

Will you shed the tears I give to My servants?

Who will join Me in the task of My Father?

Who will stand in the assembly of the wicked,

to proclaim the words of Righteousness?

Who will lose all for the sake of my Name? 

Who will forsake all and appear before them, lame?

Yes!  I offer Life!  Come, prepare for the feast at My Table.

 

 

By His Grace.
