ALIVE!

Snippet

Our lives were not made for Ziplock bags. They have eternal worth and are destined for heaven,
I once went on spiritual Retreat where a humble  and wise Franciscan priest  reminded me that there is no better, happier, more freeing yet more difficult way of living than the Christian life.  The cross of  Christ was messy. Ugly. Graphic.  Yet it led to Salvation.  Evil often looks clean, attractive, and even responsible.  But at it’s core evil is so graphic, so destructive, and so cold that it can make us rethink what is good, who made us, why we were made, and even what living is all about.  Bereit, David, Shawn Carney, and Cindy Lambert. 40 Days for Life: Discover What God Has Done ; Imagine What He Can Do.

Scripture

Rescue the perishing;
    don’t hesitate to step in and help.
If you say, “Hey, that’s none of my business,”
    will that get you off the hook?
Someone is watching you closely, you know—
    Someone not impressed with weak excuses 
Proverbs 24:11,12 Mess

Song
Everything Comes Alive by We Are Messengers

In the morning when my heart is cold
You’re the heat for my weary soul
You’re the good in all I know

In the mirror all that I see
Is Your grace looking back at me
I’m not the man that I used to be

There’s a song, there’s a song
Rising from my heart

Everything Comes alive
Everything comes alive
Everything comes alive
In You

In the evening when my bones are tired
You’re my strength and my heart’s desire
You’re the light when the sun expires

I remember how far I’ve come
I’m not lost with You I’m home
I didn’t find You on my own

I’m made alive
Now I’m by Your side
I’ve come alive
I’ve come alive

And when my days are done
I’ve got a Hope that I’m sure of
I’ll be with You in heavenly places
I’ll be with You in heavenly places

My heart is beating to the rhythm of Your love
My feet are running ever faster to Your grace

Sentence Prayer

Father

Make me a life boat to those, I touch each day.

As I sail the stormy waters of life, may I offer 


a smile and the hope of Jesus.  Amen
