Mission Indelible: Mark Someone

When you think of Christ in your life, I am sure you can identify many times when your association with Him has profoundly influenced who you are, what you do, how you behave, how you feel, how you relate, et cetera. All these experiences have clearly changed who you are for the better, even when you are going through.  

Ezekiel 36:26

“I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.”

Choosing Christ as your foundation, your guidance, your joy, your inspiration gives you a significant advantage in life.  The advantage is overflowing, effervescent (i.e. sparkling and bubbling over like refreshing root poured into a tall frosty glass).

Christ said this, "I came that you may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the fullest, till it overflows). John 10:10.

We sing songs that include lyrics like, "He's more than enough".  The Lyrics are accurate.  But do not be a hoarder.  You are given an abundance to be impactful on someone else's life.

Luke 12:48

God has been generous with you, He expects you to serve him well. But if He has been more than generous, He will expect you to serve Him even better.

Christ was a servant to us.  To serve Him, you must serve others.

Ephesians 2:10

It is God who has worked in us to make us what we are. He has given us a new life because we are united with Christ Jesus. He saved us so that now we can do good things in our lives. Those are good things that he has already prepared for us to do.

I want you to do a self-assessment now.  As a part of your review, your impact on someone else's life must be indelible, meaning it leaves a mark on someone that is undeniable, easily identified, and lasting.  

If you are having difficulty with this task, learn to become more generous in your work with others as prescribed in the scriptures above.  Look for opportunities to be an overabundant blessing to someone.

Song of the Week - Hallelujah! Sing a New Song to GOD. Sing HIS praise in the assembly of godly people. Psalm 149:1.

"Heaven", 1996, Bebe & CeCe Winans

The video definitely has a 1990's look, but the song and lyrics are ageless and still inspire me 29 years later.



Lyrics

Now that it's over
There's no more use for guns and war
Cost me a lifetime
Just to gain this life's reward
They say streets of gold
Can you imagine somewhere
Where life will never end
No one ever grows old
Oh, my brother please
Come with me
It's what I live for
A place where love will never cease
Willing to die for
Heaven is where I want to be
There are instructions
We must follow to a tee
In order to reach there
And there is where I've got to be
They say streets of gold
(Can you imagine?)
Can you imagine somewhere
Where life will never end?
No one ever grows old
Oh, my brother please come with me
It's what I live for
A place where love will never cease
Willing to die for
Heaven is where I want to be
It's what I live for
A place where love will never cease
Willing to die for
Heaven is where I want to be
No more nights
There is a place
Where there'll be no more crying
And He is the light
Counting the days
When we meet in that place
(Willing to die for)
Think heaven
(Willing-, willing to die for)
It's what I (It's what I live for)
What I live, what I live, oh, every day of my life
Willing to die for
(Said Heaven is where, Heaven is where I wanna be at someday)
It's what I live for
Don't you wanna go? (Yes, I wanna go)
(Do you wanna go?) (I wanna go)
Willing to die for, oh
It's what I live for
(Say Heaven, say Heaven, say Heaven)
Willing to die for
(Oh, where I can lay my life down and die for)
It's what I live for
(I believe in Heaven, no more crying)
Willing to die for (that's what they told me)
(And I believe)
It's what I live for
(Oh, yeah)
Willing to die for
(Willing to die)

Here is Your Mother

It is a Good Son-Day Indeed Mother's Day Menagerie Here is Your Mother I am blessed in so many ways to be surrounded so many wonderful women who have brought into the world exceptional human beings.  Thank God every day for the mothers who have impacted my life.  I know when I need them they will be there for me and they know I will reciprocate. As I continue the epic saga of post-resurrection Christ I would be remissed if I did not include presence at the cross and the acession of Christ.  Typical mother, always there for an extraordinary and exceptional anointed Savior she birth into this world. Take care of the women who are your biological, step, assumed, spiritual, in-law, in-lieu of physical mother. Christ, Mary his mother, Christ's disciple, and Christ's charge to His disciple. John 19:25-27 25 Standing near the cross were Jesus’ mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary (the wife of Clopas), and Mary Magdalene. 26 When Jesus saw His mother standing there beside the di...

Live Roses

 Good Son-Day - The Start of  Something New Ice Creameisters! Live Roses The day after Christmas, I got a call from a former co-worker I had connected with for about a year or so. I started the conversation by asking about her grandchild and two daughters. I proceeded to ask her how her husband was doing and got an unexpected quick but poignant answer: "Oh, he's doing fine; we're getting a divorce."  Wait, what! This couple was married for 30-plus years.  The husband is retired. Nice home in the burbs,  Both children are college grads.  Empty nesters. The American Dream. What happened? I did not pry.  The only thing she offered was, "One day, I was sitting at the dining room table.  He sat directly across from me.  I looked at him.  I said to myself I can't do this anymore. I knew then I needed to file for a divorce."   The  news sent me for a spin.  At first, I thought he must have cheated, or he spent too much time at hi...

Only The Powerful

Take a Son-Day Drive on This Lovely Day Summer Vibes Laughter is Good for the Heart How Our Summer is Going Only The Powerful  The entire world classifies people into hierarchies based job, residence, earnings, assets, weight, athleticism, height, and color to name an obvious few.  If you do not have the right previous descriptors you can be deemed by society as less desirable, unworthy, or a write off. Recently, I sat in on a conversation with some employees outside one of our buildings.  The conversation turned to a Minneapolis suburb called "Blaine".  They talked about the vivid dichotomy between the impoverished trailer parks and the lavish homes in the new developments.  I then cringed when I heard them refer to the people residing in the trailer homes as "White Trailer Trash" and this was uttered by a person of the same color. I spoke up and said I was uncomfortable with the conversation and that ended it. Our Lord did not create a physical being...
