Overwhelming thoughts this morning...

He is Wisdom was called a fool.
He of great worth became worthless.
He who is called blessed became a curse.
He who is fully accepted by the Father became rejected.
He who is Truth was called a liar.
He who is Righteous was called a sinner.



His Perspective is Redemption

He came to take up the cause of the orphan and the widow, for those of a despised race, for those who were known for their sin.
He came to look past the things that continue to blind us.

His perspective is far greater than ours.
His perspective is redemption of a fallen and broken world with people who are scared and broken leaving the effects of their brokenness on those around them.

His pursuit is them.
His pursuit is me…




You are after me

You are after me.
It is often hard to grasp, someone of infinite worth pursuing those of limited value.
But, so it is…
Your Spirit confirms it in me.
You are after me.
The hound of Heaven,
The pursuer of my soul,
The searcher of my inmost being,
You are after me.
Overwhelming it inevitably becomes,
The greater pursueing the lesser,
The justified pursuing the inexcusably guilty,
The righteous pursuing the sinner,
You are after me.




Faithful

You call me faithful and I am dismayed.
How can one of a wayward heart be called faithful?
How can one, who is the supreme example of faithfulness, call anyone else faithful?
I can but simply acknowledge that I pursue faithfulness to You because you are faithful, first.
I am faithful because you pursued me, first.
I am faithful because you loved me, first.
I am faithful because I have been forgiven much.
I am faithful because, like Peter said, “To where shall I go? For You have the words of life.”

THANK YOU, JESUS!!!
