Grace Visioned.

You humble me.

I've come to the conclusion that maybe I shouldn't throw it away after all; maybe, despite all my hardship and burden that has come upon me, there is a purpose for it. Maybe God is throwing my words back at me as I shout, declare, that "God works for the good in everything for all those who love Him and are called according to His purpose (Romans 8:28)". Oh Sarah, ye of little faith, despite my suffering and the severe burden I've been constantly reminded of, time and time again, God throws me back into place, and tells me to just push through it; heck, He's telling me to be a man about it, because His plans for me are divine and beautiful, "plans to prosper me and not to harm me, plans for a hope and future" (I keep forgetting where its quoted from.. lol)

And I'm thankful that today, through everything, despite my rush to get ready and thus only having time for a short reflection without a real Bible reading this morning, I thank God that even when I don't think of Him, He "will never leave me, nor forsake me (Joshua 1:5)".

I'm also thankful that I am not held down by anything, that when Jesus said, "So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed (John 8:36)", that my entrapments, my cages, my shackles, my barriers, and all the highest walls that I have created to confine myself are broken down, and I have been delivered, just as "the LORD said to Joshua, "See, I have delivered Jericho into your hands (Joshua 6:2a)" and "by faith the walls of Jericho fell (Hebrews 11:30)".

Which, in conclusion, means, I was wrong about our friendship, I forgot to pray for my Methods exam (I prayed for lunch though :), and my reasonable response is simply to worship.

Amos 5:21-24

21 "I hate, I despise your religious feasts;
I cannot stand your assemblies.

22 Even though you bring me burnt offerings and grain offerings,
I will not accept them.
Though you bring choice fellowship offerings,
I will have no regard for them.

23 Away with the noise of your songs!
I will not listen to the music of your harps.

24 But let justice roll on like a river,
righteousness like a never-failing stream!

And Isaiah 58!

Please look these passages up, and feed your imaginations.


"The logic is simple, but we cut it to disproportionate ends"

LOL, Sarah.
