When we are totally

attached to Christ

our most precious,

glorius vine, Redeemer

and friend, the world and

all it glittering treasures

grows dim and Jesus Christ

King of King and Lord of Lords

becomes our treasure, our all in all.

I saw someone  set up to fail today.

My heart was filled with Holy tears

that quickly rolled down my cheek.

I know that the enemy is clapping

with gnarled claws and smiling teeth.

I spoke to no avail. I know our Savior

weeps and will bring justice and God sent

sweet victory and soon needed relief.

I saw someone set up to fail today.

My heart was filled with Holy tears

that quickly rolled down my cheek.

I know our Savior weeps  and

will bring justice and God sent

victory and relief. Until then I will

saturate my days and nights with

a Christ given warrior’s prayer!

I saw someone set up to fail today.

And I am filled with a righteous anger

that calls for compassion, mercy, love

forgiveness, truth, and confrontation all

the while I am admittedly left in disbelief

that a child of the King of Kings and  Lord of

Lords could be so cold, so cruel, and so unfair.

I saw someone set up to fail today.

And I know that I know that I know

that our Savior, the Lion of Judah

weeps and will come with a mighty

victory and swift deliverance. Soon

all will  hear His mighty, righteous roar!

As the world grows darker and darker with sin may Jesus Christ,

the light of the world, who resides within illumine us more and more .

May we, as Christ’s redeemed, with great thankfulness, authenticity,

compassion, and praise always be able to humbly and  penitently say,

“There by the grace of God go I” For my sin, my wickedness, and

my pride is just as deep, just as heinous just as wide as any

sin for there is no hierarchy of sin with our God! And if we cannot

tenderly and graciously say this when we see others sin, “There by

the grace of God go I, we, in our arrogance, sin. For our precious tender

Savior says, For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.

There is none righteous no  not one.Glorious  Church of Jesus Christ

who because of Jesus Christ is without spot or wrinkle may we be

tender, humble, gracious, forgiving with each another for we all

have sinned. May none of us be like the proud Pharisee who is

always grieving our precious Triune God by always pointing out the sins

of others while never dealing with their own sinful and pernicious ways.
