Definition #79 Christmas

II Corinthians 5:12-21

Christ’s love controls me.

Christ’s resurrection awaits me.

Christ’s spirit moves me.

Christ reconciles me.

Offers Himself.

I am His Ambassador.

I cannot abide sexual lust aside redemption.

Christ cleanses me.

Renews me.

I have a new identity.

Sibling Rivalry

The four year old likes to collect wild flowers and poses with her 2 year old brother.
Note the posture as she pushes him against the wall, arm around him and the flowers.
He literally “looks up” at her. And smiles a pained grin of submission, head cast back in adoration/resentment. How can he compete at half her size? Later he will be taller, shoulders wider and wise in the knowledge that power resides not in size but in spirit. By then, we’ll see not leader and minion, but 2 warriors side by side.

Pattern #46 Go home Have Babies (Every Mustang’s Dream)

Spirit was a mustang
Wild and fast his flight;
Galloped ’til a stallion
Led the herd each night.

Wild and fast his flight;
“Til Calvary made him fight
For freedom and his rights.

Galloped ’til a stallion
Rode his muscles raw;
Heaved his breath: neighed his jaw.

Led the herd each night;
Guarded them from foes
As every mustang knows.

I showed my 4 year old grand daughter the DVD of “Spirit”.
At the finish, she asked:”Can they go home now and have babies?”
She discerned what mattered, even for a horse.

NOW

Now
is
the
hour,
the
minute,
to be
born
again
in
water
and
spirit.

A
gift
for now;
not
later
or
long ago,
but NOW!
Remade!
Changed!
Sanctified!
