“Lord I want to do more for your kingdom for you

have done and been everything  to me .” It was then

I heard so quietly that still small voice within like

a fragrant perfumed spring breeze quietly whisper,

“Child of grace, love well all those I bring to thee.”

Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls.

Jeremiah 6:16 (KJV)

May we look for and passionately follow Christ given old

paths where divine and holy diamonds are being strewn.

May we be the ones that when we speak

of our Triune God or  others that we are the

redeemed, rare, and radiant jewelers that cast forth

light and love-filled words full of beauty, truth,

mercy, grace, and wisdom. May we be the ones

whose speech, minds, souls, lives are adorned with

biblically faceted gemstones full of diamonds, emeralds,

pearls, sapphires, topaz, ruby, and amethyst mined from

the lavish wealth and favor that is found in our  Triune God alone!

May all who are brought our way come to see, feel, know,

and realize the spiritual riches we truly, undeservedly,

but mercifully have is because of Jesus Christ, our adoring,

loving, grace-filled, victorious, resurrected, majestic Savior and Lord

I want to be friends with  the last shall be first saints,

the true, royal nobility of the eternal kingdom of our God.

Those who no one knows whose quiet Christ-like exploits have

moved mighty mountains by lavish moments of sacrifice,

prayer, mercy, forgiveness, love, humility, and servanthood.

I want to be friends with “the last shall be first saints”,

the true, royal nobility of the eternal kingdom of our God”

A true measure of authentic Christ-likeness is how

one talks about others when they are not there.

I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

Galatians 2:20 (KJV)

Our Union in Christ is better than titles, riches, rewards or fame.

Our Holy and privileged union in Christ is the exquisite perfume

of every Christian’s soul, mind, and life. For our undeserved union

in Christ  (Christ living in those who truly believe) is our greatest,

grandest, and most glorious, gleaming, gemstone filled treasure.
