Romans 3:23 - All have Sinned And Fall Short
Jesus calls us to be lovers of Peace. And as Christians we are the public face of God's Love, Mercy, and Grace to the World. What a task, what a priviledge. And yet we are not able to do it; we fall down, we are overcome, we fail. In our frailty and humility we look to our Father as we cry out in desperation - "Abba!" We visibly demonstrate Romans 3:23 falling short of the Glory or God. In our own strength we rise like sparks on heated air, rushing upward with a fiery glow for the world to see. But not being connected to the source of combustion, we slowly fade to ashy grey and tumble to earth, barren of any life. Thanks Lord, for allowing us to be Your vessels. But please let us stay accountable to You. Let us stay accountable to our brothers and sisters, as we sharpen each other (Proverbs 27:17). Plugged into your Word, guided by Your Spirit, connected by prayer to You at all times. Please Jesus find us faithfully following You as You reign sovereign in our lives.
Holding On To The One Who Is Holding On To Me,

This was my heart's cry after reading and seeing the news about Pastor Haggard in Colorado. My heart is broken as I know that he has embarased his Savior. But just as Peter denied Jesus yet was the fiery orator used in the book of Acts to reach Jerusalem for Jesus, I know that Jesus uses the weak and foolish to great things. I pray that Pastor Haggard will have restoration in his life and will be used by his Lord.
