From What? From Whom?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To What? To Whom?<\/h3>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Made for this!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Living in the fog,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

seeing the many woven webs<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

of humans, too.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

First Samuel 2:6<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Lord kills and brings to life; he brings down to Sheol and raises up.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Romans 14:8<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord; so then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord’s.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Words of Grace for Today –<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So much is wasted in life trying to get free from things and people<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and especially God!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The real challenge and the greatest waste is trying to be free for something or for someone,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

while trying to be free from God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But we were made to be free<\/p>\n\n\n\n

from everything<\/p>\n\n\n\n

except God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were created to be slaves to God,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and Jesus made it plain:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

we are given life to give life to others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus slaves to God<\/p>\n\n\n\n

we are servants to one another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simple math.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simple ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the most fought against of all the wasted human efforts through all time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s wasting your day away today? The same old same old?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of have you surrendered<\/p>\n\n\n\n

to Jesus\u2019 Way<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and<\/p>\n\n\n\n

God\u2019s unconditional love?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Give it a go<\/p>\n\n\n\n

or rather a surrender<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and life will never be the same<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and<\/p>\n\n\n\n

life will be oh so good,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

but never easy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
