Let every approach to God, and every request for fellowship with Him be accompanied by a new, very definite, and entire surrender to Him to work in you. - Andrew Murray #WTSInspire

Study the Word of God like your life depends on it, because it does. Proclaim the Word of God like others’ lives depend on it, because they do.

In everything I did, I showed you that we must work hard and help the weak. We must remember the words of the Lord Jesus. He said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’

To the drunks, the addicts, the perverts, the victims, the porn stars, the prostitutes, the adulterers, thieves, the obese gluttons, the murderers, the losers, the freaks, the geeks, the red necks, the guys who own action figures, the chain smokers, the men who live with their mothers, the democrats, the republicans, the mormons, the maker of mens spandex bike shorts, the witches, the pot heads, the crack heads, the dead heads and the meth heads, the people who don’t recycle, the rainbow-loving tree-hugging hippies, the religious, the broken, the hurting and the lost.. I have good news for you: Jesus loves you; and though you may be stereotyped now, though you may fall into hurtful, painful and shameful categories now, you will only be branded once more in your life, if you take the hand of Christ, and His label that He sacrificed everything, and paid the price, in order for you to have freely… The label He died, for you to receive reads ‘Forgiven’.

Luke 5:12-28

12 While Jesus was in one of the towns, a man came along who was covered with leprosy. When he saw Jesus, he fell with his face to the ground and begged him, “Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean.”

 13 Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” he said. “Be clean!” And immediately the leprosy left him.

 14 Then Jesus ordered him, “Don’t tell anyone, but go, show yourself to the priest and offer the sacrifices that Moses commanded for your cleansing, as a testimony to them.”

 15 Yet the news about him spread all the more, so that crowds of people came to hear him and to be healed of their sicknesses. 16 But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed.

Jesus Forgives and Heals a Paralyzed Man  17 One day Jesus was teaching, and Pharisees and teachers of the law were sitting there. They had come from every village of Galilee and from Judea and Jerusalem. And the power of the Lord was with Jesus to heal the sick. 18 Some men came carrying a paralyzed man on a mat and tried to take him into the house to lay him before Jesus. 19 When they could not find a way to do this because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and lowered him on his mat through the tiles into the middle of the crowd, right in front of Jesus.

 20 When Jesus saw their faith, he said, “Friend, your sins are forgiven.”

 21 The Pharisees and the teachers of the law began thinking to themselves, “Who is this fellow who speaks blasphemy? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”

 22 Jesus knew what they were thinking and asked, “Why are you thinking these things in your hearts?23 Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’? 24 But I want you to know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins.” So he said to the paralyzed man, “I tell you, get up, take your mat and go home.” 25 Immediately he stood up in front of them, took what he had been lying on and went home praising God. 26 Everyone was amazed and gave praise to God. They were filled with awe and said, “We have seen remarkable things today.”

Jesus Calls Levi and Eats With Sinners  27 After this, Jesus went out and saw a tax collector by the name of Levi sitting at his tax booth.“Follow me,” Jesus said to him, 28 and Levi got up, left everything and followed him.

O God, I have tasted Thy goodness, and it has both satisfied me and made me thirsty for more. I am painfully conscious of my need for further grace. I am ashamed of my lack of desire. O God, the Triune God, I want to want Thee; I long to be filled with longing; I thirst to be made more thirsty still. Show me Thy glory, I pray Thee, so that I may know Thee indeed. Begin in mercy a new work of love within me. Say to my soul, “Rise up my love, my fair one, and come away.” Then give me grace to rise and follow Thee up from this misty lowland where I have wandered so long.

I don’t have it all figured out. I don’t pretend to be unafraid or strong or even noble. I don’t even pretend to be okay. I simply am choosing to accept that though I am weak, He is strong. I cannot do any of this on my own, yet I do not have  to; you see though my feelings betray me, He holds on to me with a grip stronger than I could ever know. He is my heavenly Father, I his continually stumbling  offspring, and He rushes to meet me with patience and love beyond compare.

Sisters of Christ, your beauty is not defined by your shape, your weight, your complexion, or the fashionable clothes you cover yourselves in. It is not made complete by the makeup you cover your blemishes with, the muscle tone of your body or your lack thereof. Is it defined by anything a mere mirror can reflect? No, it is not. Your beauty is defined by your faith in Jesus Christ. By the love and kindness, stemmed from the Heavenly Father who made you. Your beauty comes from within, it comes from the wellspring of life, your heart. The more you saturate your heart in Christ, the more beautiful you become. You become radiant. You start reflecting the selfless image of Christ. That is beautiful.

Not to condemn, but to save.

It’s natural to think we all start out on the good side. And in fact we were supposed to be. We were designed for it actually. And so it’s easy to scrub away guilt by the simple thought, “I can do this, I’ve actually been good all along, I just need to straighten myself up.” So we get out the brush and mask our shame with leaf clothing. Then  when the conversation about religion, about Jesus starts, even within our own mind, we now have stumbling block to our thinking. Wait, if I’m on the good side, why does Jesus come? Why would he approach and say, come, follow me, and thus send us now to the dark if we say no? That does not seem right, or fair. And if we have found ourself on the good side,  it is not. But I present to myself, and to you, dear reader, a different possibility. What if, though intended for being on the heroic, the noble, the pure side, we now find ourselves on the desolate, the broken, the death ridden side? What if instead of being in the light trying to avoid slipping into the black, we find ourselves stumbling in the dark? What then, of the Cross? What then, off Jesus? What if there is more to His working then a way to keep us out of the dark we were never in in the first place?   What if He did not come to help, but to truly save?

John 3:16-22

[365daysbible]

7 They go from strength to strength,

till each appears before God in Zion.

8 Hear my prayer, Lord God Almighty; listen to me, God of Jacob. 9 Look on our shield, O God; look with favor on your anointed one.

10 Better is one...
