Jesus came for Life...


i really do wish you and i could sit and enjoy a glass of tea
and talk about God's Word....
i am SO relational...
but... due to a variety of reasons... we can't...
so i will simply type my thoughts into cyber space!
 
the last three years of opening our hearts and home
to adoption has plunged us deep into a daily changing
home environment and a desperate clinging to the Lord!
 
if i were honest i would have to say...
had i known what would occur when i began the daily prayer...
"Lord, please break my heart for what breaks yours"
i'm not sure i would have been brave enough to...
not only pray it, but really mean it.
 
it has changed my life...
no... WRECKED my life forever!!
i don't see anything the same anymore!
 
as i've plunged deeper into the abyss
of surrender with the Lord, falling short daily... 
here is the overwhelming thing i keep coming back to...
Jesus came "For Life"!
 
God gave the ultimate sacrifice... His Son...
so that we would have the choice of an
eternal life! 
 
Jesus willingly laid across a wood beam
and was nailed to it...
FOR LIFE...  available for all!
For ALL!!
 
SO...
if He came for life...
and i am made in His image...
and my role here is...
 to become more Christlike...
to bring Glory to His name...
and to make His name known...
 
AND...
i am truly bent low with a heart full
of love and gratitude for the magnitude of
WHO HE IS...
 
then...
the way i see it...
as i love Him more...
i will love others more...
and be compelled by that love...
to pass on His truth!
 
AND...
it would make sense that i by faith...
would do this in action and behavior...
(faith IS an action word)...
to those that need to know,
or be reminded that... He came...
"FOR THEIR LIFE TOO"!
 
Jesus came FOR LIFE...
who do you need to tell today?
