Labor Day- an end to the beginning

Woe is me..............the one with unclean lips.

I see it............right up in the sky above the crowds.............the old rugged cross.

I smile when I see it........and I wonder as I look around into the crowds what in the world is wrong with me that is so right with everyone else?

Remembering this life can be full of messy grace indeed.

People are everywhere....... where are they headed???? Are they looking for something that makes them happy?

I wonder why am I here in this place at this time for this Labor Day and what it might mean in a universe this big?

I stand at the end of the street "people watching." Watching them all walking stopping to look at what interests them...........and I wonder WHY? Why God did you stay up on that cross?Why for us? Then it was this Sunday at church that my pastor said he found a treasure.

⁶ “I have revealed you^[a] to those whom you gave me out of the world. They were yours; you gave them to me and they have obeyed your word.(John 17:6)

²⁴ “Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world. (John 17:24)

Do you see it? Our Father and His Son are exchanging gifts!!!!! We are the gift to Jesus!!!

Jesus is our gift "SALVATION."

We can't earn it....................it is not temporary salvation............it is eternal salvation!

Doesn't that make you want to shout, "Glory?"

Some walk and some run.......what is it that we are running towards?

I want to run to a place in my life where I feel God is enough...........enough for my every need.

One of God's name is El Shaddai....meaning that He is the one who nourishes, supplies, and satisfies. He is all powerful..........the omnipotent god.........who has never-ending bounty for His people.............the people that God gave Him!

We are that people.

The name El shaddai..........is one that should remind us of God's unlimited supply of comfort, power, grace, and in fact anything that we need...................God is enough!

Instead running and walking we should be the bowing...........bowing our hearts in sheer reverence for the Almighty God...............the powerful one...........the everlasting one.

all is grace,

Robbie
