Thy Face Seek They Be

Lord, take me to a place,
of loneness I with thee;
To show me thy portion,
of this life thus far.
The folly in which I swim,
my toil in ardor aroused;
Thy banner I labor under,
Ah, question me my motive.
Lord, rage me with thy fire.
Burn me with thy glare;
Puncture deep my pride,
To inflate me with thy Spirit.
Convict me to solemnity,
O, hold me, clasp me,
Initiate me to near thee.
Make worthy my service,
Thrust me to strive forth;
Strike me, dear Lord, smite me,
Harshly as it might be.
So in me they shall chance see,
Thy face seek they be.

Month of March, a month of memorial.

Yesterday, you were my brothers in Christ. Today, you are my  brothers with Christ. 

The last point was most profound and compelling – Show mercy, mixed with fear (Jude 24:23). We are to win people back to Christ but we must do so reverentially, cautiously and discerningly, less our impurities and inadequacies cause us to fall into the very trap we are rescuing others out of. 

May our torch, His Word, be lit.
May our legacy, His Sword, be passed.
May our faith, His Son, be united.

Reflections from 2013's Caroling

In the simplest of ways, unsophisticated and unrehearsed, we did the smallest of deeds, to deliver the littlest of cheer, by our feeblest serenade of Christmas tunes. And what did we get back? The deepest of emotions, unsolicited and unexpected, we received the sincerest of gratitude, to choke us back of tears, and the greatest gift of all, the blessing of seeing others smile, cry, and cry, and smile, and cry. Jesus, You ARE the reason for EVERY season. 

Time has changed, so have we ...

One of my "favoritest" moments is when in-SPIRIT-ation hits, even when it's on the train, one can't help but doodle what could potentially be an illustration for a lesson.

"God speaks when we listen."
