We humans have been given free choice. Sometimes we use it wisely – other times we cause harm and can hurt people.
The latter is is not the kind of life God wants for, and from, us.
God is always looking to call us back to living the way of love. God always offers a 2nd chance if we fail.
Lent is a time when we are called to look at how we are living – is it the example Jesus showed us?
Our faith is affected by our perspective – how we see and interpret things.
Likewise our perspective is affected by our faith – what we are open to seeing and how we make sense of it.
Following Jesus is not an easy choice. It may require us to make Jesus our ‘Top Priority’ and be willing to give up anything for God.
However it may not be an ‘either’ /’or’ choice but finding a balance in our commitment and making Jesus the foundation of all we are trying to do so we can say “Amen”.
‘Making straight’ means no diversions.
God comes to transform your life in ways that lift burdens, receive this gift.
The orders of ‘hierarchy’ are all about up and down. We lap it up, but it is neither the perspective nor the way of Jesus! ALL AGE MESSAGE God’s spirit works in our life like seeds, planting thoughts and aspirations and drawing from us the desire to be a part of God’s kingdom. INFORMATION…
In John’s Gospel Jesus’ public ministry begins at a wedding…where he turns water into wine.
Is wine a metaphor for grace…abundant and wondrously good? Jesus was after all, full of grace.
Signs point to God’s abundant provision, all that we need, more than we need, GRACE.
