Aslan called…
You would not have called to me unless I had been calling to you,” said the Lion.
C S Lewis: The Seventh Omen
All along we knew it, He calls we listened. It was a rumble, an unsettling, something not quite right about the laws and rules. To our ears strange words were taught, Jesus was the Lamb, the perfect sacrifice but don’t make God mad cause you could endanger yourself. Even more, Jesus took the sin but you “dummies” you keep reinventing it…let us fix you.
I can say beyond a doubt there are no worries about this heaven place! I spent a weekend with God’s family in a lovely little chapel in Indiana. People were drawn there by a truth their hearts had been called to. Funny, now that I write this. We have been calling this event in our own lives”Called away”, since we left our own little church five years ago. Now I know that I know the lion was calling us to the safe place in The Rock called Jesus. Everyone goes a little crazy when you feel the nudge. Some lose their faith altogether, but just for awhile. Father sees to it we hear the calling, He raises us up and provides another one who has heard, and we realize it’s not our faith we’ve lost but our religion, and that’s a good thing! The calling is heard so deeply it seems it’s in your atoms, guess probably is! Father made us and redeemed us all, who can wonder that we feel Him moving around in us to tell us come home, the truth will set us free!
You, beloved, are not the only one. The lady at the grocer, the farmer down the road, sweet people full of love; you know them…Tell them what you know: Jesus died knowing His Father needed to have you and He paid dearly for you all, for the last time with the last sacrifice….ever.
-more later…keep listening

| I can be a banshee’ at times, judging, and hard on people but inside, if you know me, is this really unconditional place. Read Josh’s words, and the tho’t after for a glimpse of me… |

Don’t give up- It’s just the weight of the world When asked about our faith, sometimes it’s hard to make people see where we fit these days. We believe that our salvation is a done deal, that we serve a God of Love so deep, He calls us all His Own. What is it we do now if we are saved, we don’t have to study, searching page after page for a glimpse of the secret or strive to live up to man-made rules. Well friends, here are a few words so well put, I thought you should read them to see into my soul a bit today. I hope you understand me just a bit better. You are special to me, you are loved… |
