Issachar Gazette: Common Sense in an Age of Vain Ideology
Abre mis ojos
The bible teaches: if you lose your life your find it.
Christians give.
The world takes. Grows fat and rich.
Christians are persecuted, betrayed, they bless those who curse them, pray for those who despitefully use them. Or try to, out of reverence for Christ.
The heart of the true Christian is servanthood. Like Adonai.
The world seeks to dominate, to repress, to be served.
Who ends up poor, privated, subject to judgment?
Who ends up comforted, rewarded, forgiven, loved, exalted?
The Christian gives away her life
The Christian loses her life
The Christian pours out her life
And in giving, is blessed. And in giving, finds herself. And in giving, finds the Messiah's heart. And in giving, receives, for we reap what we sow.
Sow wisely. Water generously. He will magnify and make things grow.
Lose temporality, gain eternity.
Lose your life, even if it break your heart, for you will find your life and your heart will be healed. He heals the broken-hearted.
I suppose those with intact hearts don't need Him. Those who are rich, well-fed and comforted, have no need of Jesus.
I need Him more today, than the Day I decided to follow Him with all my heart. And, He is here. He draws near when He sees our hearts reach timidly for His. Amen.
O God, you are my God
And I will ever praise You
O God you are my God
And I will ever praise You
And I will seek you in the Morning
And I will learn to walk in your ways
And step by step you'll lead me, and I'll follow you all of my days...
Even so, come Lord Jesus. I'm watching, and waiting for You. I will tarry with You, one more hour...
