The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge” (Psalm 19:1,2)

Isn’t it amazing that we can see the evidence of our mighty creator in so many things around us. In the sky wether it be the sun rise/fall the clouds the stars. In the things that grow from tiny seeds to be so great they reach into the sky. The waters that provide homes for even the most obscure creatures even ones we haven’t even discovered. (or may never) Or just think about the weather. something that tends to be the default of our conversations. However, just to grasp the power of a storm to think of the warmth of a sunny day. The sheer strength of wind.

And What of our relationships. How we connect with each other, family, friends, marriage. Even pets! Its amazing to see just how quickly we bond to something you care for or spend time with.

Matthew 22:34

One of them, a lawyer, asked Him a question, testing Him, “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” And He said to him, “‘you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the great and foremost commandment. The second is like it, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets.”

Love in it’s self show just how amazing our Lord is. Our Father in all his mighty power creates us to LOVE. It is just unfathomable.

Christ is in every way Beautiful to me.

…and for no visible reason.

The fair new petals must fall, and for no visible reason. No one seems enriched by the stripping.

And the first step into the realm of giving is a like surrender–not manward but Godward: an utter yielding of our best. So long as our idea of surrender is limited to the renouncing of unlawful things, we have never grasped it’s true meaning: that is not worthy of the name for “no polluted thing” can be offered.

the life lost on the Cross was not a sinful one–the treasure poured there was God-given, God-blessed treasure, lawful and right to be kept: only that there was the life of the world at stake.

–Lilias Trotter’s (Parables of the Cross)

everything sheer loss

No Man is worthy of me who cares more for father or mother than for me; no man is worthy of me who cares more for son or daughter; no man is worthy of me who does not take up his cross and walk in my footsteps. By gaining his life a man will lose it; by losing his life for my sake, he will gain it.

I count everything sheer loss, because all is far outweighed by the gain of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I did in fact lose everything. I count it so much garbage, for the sake of gaining Christ.
