“A sense of humor… is needed armor. Joy in one’s heart and some laughter on one’s lips is a sign that the person down deep has a pretty good grasp of life.” Hugh Sidey (1927-2005)

LIFE.
When you make a promise you give your word…
God gave us a promise…
God gave us his word…His Word made flesh…
His Word made flesh was the promise of eternal life He gave us.
In the New Year…in this time of resolutions and promises…
Shouldn’t our most important promises be given to God?
Promises that bring us closer to His promise?
What steps can we take this day to bring us nearer to living the life that promises us “always” life?
What promises given to God, to ourselves, to others?
“Heavenly Father, You gave Your promise. You gave Your Word…and the Word became Flesh and dwelt among us so that Your promise to us of eternal life might be fulfilled. May we be given the grace to be fully human, beginning eternal life today and drawing others into this forever love.”
Here is a long, but absolutely awesome worship song. Jason Upton’s “One Step Away” will lead you into a taste of that timelessness we all long for. Close your eyes and enjoy this time with God.
Live in your space…
Uniquely yours, God’s gift to you,
where YOU can make a difference.
Not the space of was and were.
Not the space of should be, could be, would be.
This space is the present…
The miracle of the here and now…
Right where God has placed you.
In union with the great “I AM”.
Immersed in the great “I AM”.
Leave behind the yesterdays…
Let tomorrows become todays.
LIVE in the “I AM”….LOVE in the “I AM”
This is a good day to do great things…
In your space….where God has placed you…
Immersed in Him who is “I AM”!
“We were indeed buried with Him through baptism into death, so that, just as Christ was raised form the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might live in newness of life. ” Rom 6:4
