Leviticus 20-22 ; Acts 20

My God is HOLY and perfect, demanding perfection.....
disappointed and finding a way for us anyway, a way that sacrificed His Son..
the same then, now and always and forever....brokenhearted at my lack of and yet offering me salvation anyway....i mean who does that? offers grace in the midst of absolute disappointment, in cluelessness, stubbornness and foolish evil....we are responsible when we know and He waits for that knowing to break our will and hearts as it breaks His heart and then His grace staggers us into a freedom that we can't fully imagine and struggle to live in .....it's all inexplainably glorious and I want to spend the rest of my life learning how to live it and explain it for others to enjoy....to find out that the God of the universe has been in pursuit of them. when you discover, accept that nothing is ever the same.
and then reading in acts, i ain't no Paul....don't understand the magnitude of a life in such persecution...no that's not it, his utter commitment to whatever it is YOU had for him...it's a desire of my heart for sure and a hope that every minute here with You soaking in Your love letter when the time comes there will be something in me other than me...but this verse i want to say it, believe it.....acts 20:24... What matters most to me is to finish what God started: the job the Master Jesus gave me of letting everyone I meet know all about this incredibly extravagant generosity of God....and then the real hope here it's may be about what I learn here and when the time comes Your Spirit...just hope acts 20: ³²"Now I'm turning you over to God, our marvelous God whose gracious Word can make you into what he wants you to be and give you everything you could possibly need in this community of holy friends.

today is family fun day...valentine style to be fun and encouraging .....preparing us for lives of service to You, in a freedom we don't understand....
