Good morning,
Have you ever noticed that the sunrise looks best when there’s clouds for it to light on fire? Every victory is amplified when the preamble was “…all hope was lost and then….” When there is overwhelming opportunity for failure there is always that one small window for valiant success. The way of Christ is not one for the faint of heart. Boot camp sucks, the war sucks, and dying sucks. It just does. Daily, we are given miriads of circumstances in which to fail. We take many of them, probably more than we’d like to admit to ourselves. Then, when we fail, we get to discover the potency of grace. That grace is what makes us invincible. Invincibility removes fear and allows us to do the impossible. Jesus made a shield of himself for us because He loved us more than His own life. He fought the war before us and took the fall for the failure we make daily then, as the clouds lit on fire, he made his death the battle cry for all of eternity. Lords and ladies, we are the impossible for we have been given impossible grace. The very best part is that we who carry the lacerated hearts, we who carry knives in our backs like porcupines with quills wrong way out, we that carry the marks of carrying a cross up a mountain get to give the grace away. We can then inspire invincibility in others.
Give grace as you have been given grace. Aim high and into the sun for you, Love, are superman. He who is loved can conquer any terror, any day job, any battle be it small or big. We change the world by throwing grains of sand that start an avalanche. Choose bravery choose grace; don’t be afraid.
Have a wonderful day,
Love,
Me
