Salvation

A Murky Cup

Leave a comment

I poured dark rich tea into a hunter green cup and I sat down on the porch swing to enjoy. And then I saw this weed and that weed much too alive and well in the ginger lily bed.

Pulling weeds one-handed can be done but not as effectively as with two, so the porch rail accommodated my cup. And when I was finished with the weeds, scaredy cat that I am, pondered my cup — shall I drink it, shall I not?  Standing in the shade I thought . . . maybe not. But in full sun, my answer was yes I shall.

You see, with enough light even the contents of a murky cup can be seen — all the way to the bottom.

Matthew 26: (Amplified Bible)
39And going a little farther, He threw Himself upon the ground on His face and prayed saying, My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass away from Me; nevertheless, not what I will [not what I desire], but as You will and desire.

At the bottom of the cup HE saw you and HE saw me and HE said YES I will drink it.

Ice Cream

Leave a comment

A simple observation for a short Wednesday hello.

If ice cream is projected on the screen of your mind long enough it will manifest in your mouth.

Whatever we think about long enough — we will do.  Good or evil.

What are you thinking about today?

Is it worthy of the position of honor you are giving it?

16 Do you not know that you are a temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?

Philippians 4: (New International Version, ©2011)
7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.
9 Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.

And this one. What if we embraced this one, not for evil as the people did at Babel, but for the telling and the demonstrating that salvation from sin and hell is found ONLY in JESUS CHRIST? What would happen?

6 The LORD said, “If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them.

The spreading of the Gospel too big an under-taking for you just yet?

Well, then bring it on down to where you live today — small victories lead to bigger ones.

This much I know: those three mending jobs that had been waiting are now complete.   :)

Blessed to bless,
