Clinging to the Feet of Jesus - A Perspective


I just read a great post on my friend, Steve's blog. I left the some of the following as comments, but wanted to post them here, too as it helps to put things in perspective both regarding my life while is also serves to remind me of God's love and the loss and suffering that He endured for me.

God is truly a just and merciful God. He does know loss and it's amazing for me to think about.

I pray that the Lord enables me to be able to cling to His feet and convey the power of the Truth. May He help me to be able to give an answer to anyone who asks about the hope that lies within me.

In thinking about that post and my reply, not a day goes by that God doesn't bring to my attention the fact that He is a loving father. At the end of the end when I come home, I am barraged by 4 wonderful children who come running and cling to me to grab ahold of any part of me that they can; an arm, a neck, a leg or a foot. As this goes on, the littlest one pushes and fights her way through the others until she stands in front of me with upstretched arms for me to pick her up and hold her. What an incredible display of how we should be towards our Heavenly Father.

Thank you for your kind words. My brother it is so true. As you and I have talked God deals with us "Life for life" He laid His down for us and He wants us to lay ours down for Him, and that alone is the least we can do. He does not wish that one person perish, but at the same time it is love we are talikng about. He could and can do what ever He wants for He is the creator of all. Love does not force, Love offers, and He has done more than we could ask or expect, now it is up to us, we must return His love or walk away into oblivion. I just pray that through our lives, He will use us to show His love, and justice to the masses.
Man, we love you guys and want to see you all, and cannot wait til then. God speed, and safety.
