More Than A Song?

The invitational song in part was ‘we cry holy, holy, holy is the Lamb’ and I stopped singing; questions were coming.

Do we? Do we cry holy, holy, holy is the Lamb with our walk as well as our singing? Does the day-to-day living I do cry holy, holy, holy is the Lamb? Do the places I go, or don’t get around to going, say He is holy to me? Do the movies I see, do the books (magazines, websites) I read, do the clothes I wear, do the foods I eat and the beverages I drink, do the thought trains I ride say He is holy, holy, holy to me?

It’s been a few hours now since we all left the church-house and I’m still pondering these questions.  And it seems to me these questions could quickly get a body sent to an accusatory corner with legalism ringing in her ears. How does one draw the line between legalism and carnality? And if we refuse to draw that line between the two can we really say, holy, holy, holy is the Lamb to me?

This is heavy! And it’s not easy to leave us on such a heavy note but the song does say He is full of mercy and love – – – and He is.

Dear Younger You

Last week I posted Dear Younger Me, the video by Mercy Me. Off and on since then I have continued to listen to it.  As it streams, I think of my Grand-babies – they are not younger me(s) but they do have some of those genes if you know what I mean.   :)

And so for them my heart’s cry is Dear Younger You(s) please hear. Please hear that you are loved and the Cross of JESUS is where you will find LIFE and more fun and adventure and purpose that you will find anywhere else!  Listen to an old woman who used to be younger too. While all that was did bring me to where I am, for which I am way grateful!; still there was a more direct path that would have been a lot more fun, adventurous and punctuated with higher purposes.

Dear Younger You(s), try that less traveled path with a genuine heart and you will be glad you did.  Warning though. Let no one convince you it’s a path for sissies or whiners.  Look closely at the lives of those who give you counsel before you heed the words they say — even older me. :)

John 10:10  (NKJV) 10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.  source
