HOW Jesus was born.

Suffering, longing, needing, wanting, violence and rage, glorious redemption. Woven through the word of God- My struggle as a disciple is validated on the page- inviting me to change by resting in God’s handiwork within me while I act in obedience for the blessing of others.
It’s the only way I’ve survived societal change and severe, prolonged backlash for said sins.
How I’ve survived a windstorm for others sins too. Lots of shifting tides where there is no current.

someone I love, knows how that feels. His love for me revives my decimated heart and reminds me of my own shortcomings for which I am forgiven- by God. That’s what matters- most.
It also corrects me and convicts, that I might not in turn cause a tear in my garment or the beautiful garment I admire in another.

Had I not sought the Lord with all my might, been willing to be scorched- my life would not only be a worldly disaster, but an eternal one. My efforts for others to be reconciled have re-doubled. My prayer is for passion as I deal with disabilities and deficits.
Again, his grace has been sufficient and my faith grows as prayers are heard and answered.
Even if I’ve waited all my life for some.
to know human love and connection that is true on God’s terms.
I know why it matters so much to him.

I have the example in the word and the relationship- bringing me back to trust.
His faithfulness is always evident and rhythmic, allowing for the sun to shine on the mirror that is the fire waiting to start.
A heart so willing and unwilling to settle for anything less than best. For his child.
My child is granted the same. Even if she is far away. Doesn’t God’s arm stretch?
