Seeking Higher Being

Not a pretense of better living through higher thoughts or actions.. Not a contrived morality or confidence in my own imagined righteousness.. But an admission of being lost!.. Of being sought out, found and forgiven!.. Not an escape from pain or hardship, but an awareness that God loves and believes in me more than I could ever believe in Him... That He has the power to keep me and accomplish His will for me in this life and the next.. jackandcarla-youtube & www.morethanmanagement.life

Redeeming Love

Redeeming Love

Our job is to love others without stopping to inquire whether or not they are worthy. That is not our business, and in fact, it is only the Creator's business. What we are asked to do is to love, and in demonstrating this love we will acknowledge both ourselves and our neighbor as being worthy of the purpose we were created for.

When attempting to relate to our fellows... the struggling image bearers in hiding or those experiencing defeat around us. It is easy to feel piously humble as we plan our charity or even proud of the seeming tolerance of our actions.

But Christ calls us to much more. Our salvation is not a mere nod or whisper to attain an assurance that we will avoid eternal fires. It is not merely a commitment to a self improvement program. He calls us to walk with Him.

He calls us to join Him in His walk of obedience, To accompany Him and take up our cross on a walk of fellowship with Him. A walk of dying to ourselves and becoming alive again in a new acceptance of self and those around us.

The love mentioned is, that of God loving through us;

a Redeeming Love.
