I rejoice in you for you are treasure to the Lord our God. Made perfect for the purpose set before you. Delight in His knowledge of you, that you are related to the King. What miracles and mercies will tend you in the coming days? A child of God’s Own Creation.

Born again of what? Planted Seed, magic wand, polite rhetoric and science? No the Spirit’s baptism, reborn to heavenly position and promise. All rectified and complete, only the lessons of pragmatism and correction to follow as the Earth continues its rotation.

What do I know that is born of the man I once became? Seldom remember the pains of my tragic sins and pathway through a life that seemed with either filled with sensory fulfillment or deprivation and loneliness. All I know is that it had to happen or I would surely die.

How great are the aspects of your formation? What power flows through your heart, mind, soul and strength that was present at the world’s making? What words echo through your memory in Christ that remind you that you too were on His mind in the days of beginning?

How pleasant the plans of the King for all who have been born of His redemption. That man was forgiven just through the offering of a perfect life to pay the debt that we could not remit. Plunged into spaces between mass, time and gravity to find the binding and foundation of all.

Thankful for the gift that reminds me each day that He loved me so much He gave me His splintered image in each of you to show me His face throughout the week. What a blessing that one man may receive such love and constant reflection that I may never forget.
