Indelible Mark

Dear Servant,
          You have been marked with an indelible mark.  When I poured out the blood of my precious son upon your life it forever marked you as my child.  Your sin cannot take it away, your righteousness cannot add to it.  Your denial of it does not remove it.  It is a banner to [...]

Storehouse

Dear Servant,
 
          My storehouses are full.  Treasure upon treasure is waiting to be poured out upon my children.  I have wisdom that is overflowing for all who will ask.  I have the shelter of my presence to give to those facing the onslaught of the enemy.  I have faith for the faithless, strength for the [...]

True Worth

Dear Servant,
            What makes you worthwhile?  Where does “worth” come from for any human?  When I created man, I made him in my image.  I implanted within him the ability to have relationship with me and thus to find true worth in me.  I never intended that man find “self worth” or some value for [...]

Clothed…

Dear Servant,
            I have seen the fashions of human kind.  Since my son Adam first tried to cover his shame with leaves I have watched the fashions of humankind.  Some dress to appear beautiful or flaunt their sexuality.  Others cover their whole body in an attempt to hide their shame.  Some cut, color, and mutilate [...]

Without Condemnation

Dear Servant,
            What judgment would I have for you? What condemnation of your sins?  Can I crucify my son again?  Would more of his blood be necessary to cover you failings?  Absolutely not!  His sacrifice was complete, once for all.  For me to condemn you, after you have agreed to accept his payment for your [...]

Both of You

Dear Servant,
Yes, I do know her.  She can be difficult at time.  She is head strong and opinionated.  She can be willful and she has trouble listening at times.  I know her temper and I have heard her grumblings and complaints.  Beyond what is obvious for you to see, I also see her hidden faults, [...]

Counting

Dear Servant,
            Have you read the story of my servant David and the counting of his army?  David had reigned for many years and had many victories.  He had seen me deliver from enemies like the Philistines and from enemies in his own household, like Absalom.  He knew that I delivered his life from Saul [...]

Life Sentence

Dear Servant,
I pronounce you guilty as charged.  On the charge of lies and deceit:  guilty.  On the charge of rebellion: guilty.  On the charge of worshipping false gods: guilty.  On the charge of pride: guilty.  On the charge of self righteousness: guilty. On the charge of gluttony: guilty.  On the charge of jealousy, envy and [...]

Here in your need

Dear Servant,
            All who face a crisis call out to me!  It does not matter if they claim to be an atheist or agnostic, a worshipper of trees or money, they will call to me.  When they face the day where their power is not enough and the illusion of control over their world is [...]
