Betrayal and Loss

By

Scriptural Reference: Psalm 34:14 ‘Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.’ I’ve been traveling a gruesome and bloody road. Frequently falling down and rising up. Laying quiet while waiting for the pain to resolve. Walking with unsteady gait, eyes blurred, and head muddled. With tear streaked cheeks and aching heart I have stumbled into this moment when I think I might be near to something like acceptance. Something like forgiveness. Something like release and relief.  About this time of year, 26 years ago, some choices were made and injuries incurred that fractured lives invisibly and visibly. Recently, I heard a voice, heart, and mind speak to me. Their stated words sounded like a resolution. I think I understood their words to be a firm intent and forthright revelation. Perhaps, they were a declaration of will. Eventually, those words culminated in a quiet unspoken recess and exit with no backward glance. I sat gazing at their receding back and felt irrevocabil...

At Ease

By
Scriptural Reference: John 8:32 (KJV) "And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." Ephesians 4:25 (KJV) "But speaking the truth in love...."   Full sigh and deep breath.  Repeat. This is the way I am right now and since some special dear people who love me have spoken life transforming truth(s) to me.  There are occasions when we may find ourselves in conversations about our lives that has been witnessed by long-time friends, and close family relations. Our mutual proximity to one another is often a place where true bonds of emotional vulnerability and trust are created and strengthened with time. I am so grateful to JESUS for providing such an environment and persons who promote this type of atmosphere in my life. I know that this is not common. I am certain this is unique. I am not surprised that few groups, and fewer families, know this precious treasure. I celebrate JESUS grace in providing the confidante(s), companion(s), and true friend(s)...

Were you there?

By
Scriptural reference: Isaiah 53:5 (kjv) "But HE was wounded for our transgressions, HE was bruised for our iniquities, the chastisement of our peace was upon HIM, and with HIS stripes we are healed." 1 Peter 2:21-24 (kjv) (paraphrase) "...CHRIST suffered for us... who HIS own self bare our sins in HIS own body on the tree, that we being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed."    It's likely that you have remnants of the roast you made for the celebration of JESUS resurrection in your refrigerator. The roasted bits are creatively tucked into pitas, taco shells, and slices of toasty bread until they are mere memory of something delicious and shared. It's also likely that you heard it alluded to in song or sermon, "Were you there when they crucified my LORD?" As that term was likely echoing in your ears, you may well have thought, "No. I wasn't there." We were all there. JESUS gave HIS life for all...

Pray

By
Scriptural Reference: 1 Thessalonians 5:17 (kjv) "Pray without ceasing." 1 John 5:14-15 (kjv) "And this is the confidence that we have in HIM, that, if we ask any thing according to HIS will, HE heareth us: and if we know that HE hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of HIM." Colossians 1:17 (kjv) "And HE is before all things, and by HIM all things subsist."   It takes prayer to quiet ones heart and mind in faith. It takes faith to quiet ones heart and mind in prayer.   I, like many believers in JESUS, am sometimes amazed at how simultaneously easy and difficult this life of faith can be. Not because of haranguing sorrow or by exultant fist shaking troubles that arrive suddenly. Nothing so roaring and rallying as that. I think it is rather, the ordinary tedious day after day of a life of faith that can tax the soul to plumb its depths until the bottom is arrived at solidly. Our prayers are sometimes the whispers ...
