Why do we feel so self important that we need to let people know how to spend our tax dollars or do you know that I pay your salary. I beg of you to reconsider your personal ownership of desire for control as those ideals are east of eden and not in line with the beauty of God. Let us be critical with condensending. I ask the Holy Spirit to convict me in this area as I try to live in the tension of action and patience and the discernment of which one is needed moment to moment.

Do we  have a real understanding of the Christ's love for us? Why in the light of this do we harbor such hatred in our hearts? Why do we do so much evil in the name of  Jesus?  Please stand together in the name and  Spirit of Christ. I love you Jesus and I love all of  you.  Take refuge in the  Lord.

I want two things in my whole being, my essense. To be in right relationship with the Creator AND to be in right relationship with His image bearers. In short, I want to be righteous. How can I get there? Through the power of Christ in me and the prompting of the Spirit through me. Therefore not by my will but by the will of the Father. How does this manifest itself today. That I am no longer a separate and distinct being. I am part of the church, the body of Christ and I will not run and I will not hide. Rather I will live in the tension of this humanity desparate to know others more. There is no arrival, only a journey to live as part of the kingdom while walking alongside others who are both in and out of the kingdom. Please don't limit the gospel to only a ticket to heaven when you die. Live today in the reality of redemption in Christ with your brothers and sisters. I hope to be righteous today and I hope that you join me.
