Living Broken...

In living this life, struggling with brokeness... We are all broken. This world we live in is such a place,  where death of heart, death of relationships, and death of love is prevalent.  Yet, if we indeed understand that He does not define us by our failures. He is “mindful that we are but dust.” Psalm 103. “He was wounded for our transgressions.” Isaiah...

Today, like in the Gospels, so many still hold the rocks in their hands. Tossing, pointing, telling with no regard of what the author of Love has done. It is an illusion that anyone you know is perfect or can live by their works. No one can. We are in total need of His mercy and grace, every day, all the time.

But, there is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, for the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set us free from the law of sin and death. Romans 8:1  You, as you are, are beloved by Him, forgiven, cherished. He understands what you carry.

Humility, grace and forgiveness is what is needed, offered, shared to those who are wounded deep within. We are now defined by His love, His adoption, His family history... We are NOT defined by our past deep failures, your thoughts of our failures or the enemy of our souls.

Learn, Live, Love...

Restful Peace...

Today, as I continue my search, I began listening to Kraus "A Night of Worship". In doing so, the lyrics of some the songs just ran some strong Truth... "You are the Everlasting Father", "we hope in your promise"....etc.

I began to look around my living room and noticed our dog Molly, laying there, eyes gone, paws one over the other and it hit me....

That is what HE wants me to do... be at Restful Peace. In the midst of the storm, He slept!, woke, SPOKE, and calm reigned...

Oh my friend, that today, I may speak YOUR word, have peace in the midst of the unknown, and REST....

Holy God,
Holy and Mighty,
Holy Immortal One,
Have mercy upon me
