Liquid Lessons
Here are a few lessons I learned while on a liquid diet recovering from oral surgery.
Given & Taken
Use well what you are given vs. do nothing. “even more will be given” –> enter into the presence of the Father.
Well done!
“Well done” is not like steaks – it’s not how much is enough, but it’s did you use or not use your gifts?
Luther on the Epistle to the Galatians
Our faith in Christ moves us towards good works, but those works do not earn us salvation. I simply can’t live up to God’s holy standards without Jesus’ death on the cross redeeming me… and you too!
The Promise
We are longing for home… rest. In this world, our homes are fragile – can be destroyed. Sometimes our home doesn’t feel like home.
The Consequences
The Mexican Petunia is so deeply rooted that you can’t ever really get it out. It’s an attractive, but invasive weed. This is exactly how sin is in our lives.
Potter’s Lesson 3
We see ourselves as human beings, people going about life. God sees us as vessels, made by His hands, meant to contain the Holy Spirit and spill over with His glory pouring into/over others.
