....AND EVEN NOW....

JIMMY
What would I do without him?
When I feel as if I'm about to be pushed over the cliff,
he always seems to step between me and the edge and he
nudges me back to the safe ground.
I think he'd say I do the same for him,
though I never see it as such at the time.
(from "MARY's JOURNAL")

Have started reading the life story of Oswald Chambers ( we all know him best by his little book "MY UTMOST FOR HIS HIGHEST"...read all over the world , in as many languages, second only to God's Bible.)
He died so young. Never knew that his written words were destined by God to
inspire and encourage (and sometimes reveal hidden sins) to generations of God seeking folk.
Where do people like him, like Mother Theresa,like the Catholic priest who lived and died ministering to lepers( all outcasts on a remote island), ... like present day Heidi and Roland Baker ......where do they come from (God , of course).
What requisite to be one to whom the LORD IS their ALL IN ALL?
Can it be BROKENESS ? Not for a season..but forever?
I wonder. I want. I need.

PS. my sweet Girl is going to teach me how to edit and improve what i write here..when she gets time to : )

Tenacious Love

If You, O Lord, kept a record of sins,
O Lord, who could stand?
BUT..with You there is forgiveness;
And that's why You are worshiped. PS. 130

TENACIOUS! NEVER GIVE UP!
never, never, never give up!
The woman in the Bible came back...again, again, again!
God touched her...NEVER GIVE UP!

What does such LOVE look like ?.....in my life?
It's not just sweet babbling.
I like it easy...then this "Endurance and Patience" thing comes .
What will I carry for the Master?
we're the BODY..and we get to "DO STUFF" : )
Yes, HIS Body. How necessary every son and daughter of God is...
Let's run to the alter ..and die!
Then lets go out in the boat again, with HIM.
Take us out again for the Glory of God (this time).
Seasick? HOLY, HOLY..then barf! But GO!
THE GOSPEL LOOKS LIKE SOMETHING...not just babble! You don't stop when you puke.
Wipe your mouth and position yourself to catch the wind in your sails.

TENACIOUS LOVE...ENDURING FAITH!

The gist of this message struck my heart to it's knees the other day.
Let's run to the alter ...and die.
