Recall What God Remembers

Oswald Cambers, MY UTMOST FOR HIS HIGHEST: 1/21/09 http://www.myutmost.org/ (Select Jan. 21) "Thus says the Lord:"I remember...the kindness of your youth..." (Jeremiah 2:2) Yesterday was a thunderous moment in history. We have put our trust in a man who offers us hope. Isn't that what Christ has called us to do? When we serve Him, is it with kindness? When we feel drudgery or resentment creeping in, it is time to reevaluate. I am inspired by our new president. He calls us to unity, all of us. The cup of water is not just offered to those who believe as we do. My image of Jesus is that He especially reached out in kindness to unbelievers. There is only one way to keep up the pace that He sets for us. We must stay close and in touch as we walk with Him. That is why I am writing this (FYI). I need the discipline of getting my armour in place, especially the helmet, which protects the mind of Christ I have invited into my life. I gladly welcome this surrender of my stinking thinking. I am reading The Shack by Wm. Paul Young. The main character, Mackenzie, is struggling with a Great Sadness. He simply can't cope with it alone; none of us can. I haven't completed it, but I know Mack is being transformed. God continually calls us to transformation. Why do we resist? The power of darkness is great and seductive. It seeps in without our realization, but as Allison commented on 1/15, our time in sadness is only limited by our own undoing. That is good news! Come, Lord Jesus, this day.
