My job has been to love you as He first loved me.  This I have done and will continue to do no matter what corner of time each of us resides.  My dreams are filled with Christ and the fulfillment of His Word.  Sitting behind him dressed in white, on a great horse weeping for humanity as they seem transfixed upon confrontation with God.  Why must we seek a fight that we never stood chance of victory?  Is the resistance to truth, kindness, obedience and justice truly so weighty that more than half of humanity cannot bear the payment?  I have seen this blessing squandered, untethered to faith, ill stewarded to predicament and dilapidation.  Lord must I bear to watch this nation sold for the price of mockery?

Our disobedience is complete.  Certainly we are generous and we do good but none of this matters in God’s economy without faith.  We seek to buy our way to eternity by doing just enough right to justify ourselves in the eyes of men.  Works only matter when they are done from love for the grace that has been freely bestowed upon undeserved mankind.  You sit there cross armed, close eyed or smirking, annoyed by the simple fact that I love Jesus and you find it an infringement upon your freedoms, liberties and lifestyle.  None of that lifestyle you worship would be possible without the air that you breath or the water you drink of the blood which sustains the life which He also gave.  Does it free you to believe they happened through some cosmic accident, or that aliens somehow seeded the Earth to propagate our species?  It is a wonderful coincidence that in either of those explanations for man’s origin you are freed from any obligation, obedience or moral reflection.  There are coincidences but only for unbelievers, the rest of us serve God’s plan.

Father I know that I am not employing the talents you have given me, until now I only understood how they would serve my desires.  I had not been transformed by a renewing of my mind.  I have served Lord but never fully understanding direction, purpose, song or completion.  Each day I am remade to follow Your Will to an end that includes eternity with You.  For that I will live each of these days I have been given with an spirit expectancy.  I will dream of You and be complete.  All of my days are Yours, Sweet Father God, in the Name of the Lamb and Lion of God, Jesus Christ, destined to judgment and rule.  Amen.
