Duct Tape or a Nail?
A man dies and goes to heaven. Of course, St. Peter meets him at the Pearly Gates.
St. Peter says, "Here's how it works: You need 100 points to make it into heaven. You tell me all the good things you've done, and I give you a certain number of points for each item, depending on how good it was. When you reach 100 points, you get in."
"Okay," the man says, "I was married to the same woman for 50 years and never cheated on her, even in my heart."
"That's wonderful," says St. Peter, "that's worth three points!"
"Three points?" he says. "Well, I attended church all my life and supported its ministry with my tithe and service."
"Terrific!" says St.Peter. "That's certainly worth a point."
"One point!?!!"
"I started a soup kitchen in my city and worked in a shelter for homeless veterans."
"Fantastic, that's good for two more points," he says.
"Two points!?!!" Exasperated, the man cries, "At this rate the only way I'll get into heaven is by the grace of God!"
"Bingo, 100 points! Come on in!"
We often try to fix problems with WD-40 and duct tape. God did it with a nail.

LOVE THEM ANYWAY
People are often
unreasonable and self-centered.
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind,
people may accuse you of ulterior motives.
Be kind anyway.
If you are honest,
people may cheat you.
Be honest anyway.
If you find happiness,
people may be jealous.
Be happy anyway.
The good you do today
may be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have,
and it may never be enough.
Give your best anyway.
For you see, in the end,
it is between you and God.
It never was between you and them anyway.

My dear child...
Everyone longs to give themselves completely to someone - to have a deep soul relationship with another, to be loved thoroughly and exclusively.
But I say, "No. Not yet. Not until you are satisfied, fulfilled and content with living...living loved by Me alone." I love you, my child, and until you discover that only in Me is your satisfaction to be found, you will not be capable of the perfect human relationship that I have planned for you.
Until you are united with Me - exclusive of anyone or anything else, exclusive of any other desire and longings - you can never be united with another. I want you to stop planning, stop wishing, and allow Me to give you the most thrilling plan existing - one that you can't imagine. I want you to have the BEST. Please allow Me to bring it to you. Keep learning and listening to the things I tell you. For now, you must wait.
Don't be anxious. Don't worry. Don't look around at the things others have, or at the things you think you want. When you look away, you may miss what I want to show you. Lean into Me, lean on Me, place your trust and hope in Me, let Me be enough for you. And then... when you're ready... I'll surprise you with a love far more wonderful than anyone would ever dream!
You see, even now I am preparing another for you, working to have both of you ready at the same time. Until both of you are satisfied exclusively with Me and the life I have prepared for you, neither of you will be able to fully experience or appreciate the love that exemplifies your relationship with Me...and this is perfect love. And dear one, I want you to have this most wonderful love. I want you to see in the flesh a picture of your relationship with Me - to enjoy materially and concretely the everlasting union of beauty and perfection and love that I offer you with Myself.
Know that I love you utterly. I am God almighty. I truly want only the very best for you. Do you believe Me?
Believe and be satisfied.
I love you,
Your Heavenly Father |

Our Redemption through Christ is much like this story.
There is a story about a man who went down to the slave block to buy a slave girl. As she looked at the white man bidding on her, she figured he was another white man going to buy her and then abuse her.
He won the bid, and as he was walking away with his property, he said, "Young lady, you are free."
She said, "What does that mean?"
"It means you are free."
"Does that mean," she said, "that I can say whatever I want to say?"
The gentleman said, " Yes, my dear, you can say whatever you want to say."
"Does that mean," she said, "that I can be whatever I want to be?"
He said, "Yes, you can be whatever you want to be."
"Does that mean that I can go wherever I want to go?"
He said, "Yes, you can go wherever you want to go."
The girl, with tears streaming down her face, said, :Then I will go with you." |

Really isn't Christian life just coming to a full realization of the riches we have in Christ Jesus?
We get them all at the moment of salvation....but we are ever after gaining in the knowledge of what that actually means and all
the many ramifications of it.
(Mat 6:33, Joh 8:32, Phil 3:13-14, 4:13)

TRUE FAMILY
"They were continually devoting themselves to the apostles' teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.
Everyone kept feeling a sense of awe; and many wonders and signs were taking place through the apostles.
And all those who had believed were together and had all things in common;
and they began selling their property and possessions and were sharing them with all, as anyone might have need.
Day by day continuing with one mind in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house,
they were taking their meals together with gladness and sincerity of heart,
praising God and having favor with all the people.
And the Lord was adding to their number day by day those who were being saved."
Acts 2:42-47
