Words of Jesus
"So have no fear of them; for nothing is covered that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known. What I tell you in the dark, utter in the light; and what you hear whispered, proclaim upon the housetops. And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell. Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground without your Father’s will. But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows. So everyone who acknowledges me before men, I also will acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven; but whoever denies me before men, I also will deny before my Father who is in heaven.
Matthew 10: 26 – 33
I saw all the devil’s traps set upon the earth, and groaned and said, "Who do you think can pass through them?" And I heard a voice saying, "Humility."
— St Anthony the Great
Abba, Father, Lord God, ‘O LORD of hosts, who tryst the righteous, who sees the heart and the mind’; You know how thankful I am for all Your blessings, mercy and grace; You know the number of breathes I will take. ‘I have become a stranger to my brethren’, I understand that ‘sin indeed was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not counted where there is no law.’ I want to believe that sin is that which is not according to Thy source, my source, and my true being nature which source is spiritual, and thus I meditate on Your every Word looking to feed my spirit being giving drink to human being. O that You would bless me indeed, that Your hand would be with me and my love ones always, to keep us from evil and from causing any hurt or pain; and that I may be a light for You and as did Joshua be able to proclaim ‘as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord’; for ‘to Thee have I committed my cause’. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.
Audio books I am listening to and other books or readings I am reading:
The Shack Mackenzie Allen Philips’ youngest daughter, Missy, has been abducted during a family vacation and evidence that she may have been brutally murdered is found in an abandoned shack deep in the Oregon wilderness. Four years later in the midst of his Great Sadness, Mack receives a suspicious note, apparently from God, inviting him back to that shack for a weekend. Against his better judgment he arrives at the shack on a wintry afternoon and walks back into his darkest nightmare. What he finds there will change Mack’s world forever. In a world where religion seems to grow increasingly irrelevant "The Shack" wrestles with the timeless question, "Where is God in a world so filled with unspeakable pain?" The answers Mack gets will astound you and perhaps transform you as much as it did him. You’ll want everyone you know to read this book!
