He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me scatters
~Matthew 12:30





I've looked so many times at myself, and I am sad, and empty, and it is little bits of MYSELF that I am scattering. And something, like an old phone number creased and worn found in your pocket, says, look up.

And I can't see God. And I'm afraid because he's not there.

But I know he's there. I must have become blind. Now I am hesitant, because I know something has changed. We used to be friends.

Then he calls me - not by the letters in my name, but by an intimate knowlede of my soul. And he looks not at the vacuum of Self, which has killed me, but at my life-sparing mark, the blood of Jesus, in which I AM COVERED.

And I figure out that there is fullness of joy, and there can be life.

As I walk on, this time a humble Carpenter is with me, and he teaches me a new song.
I'm nothing and have nothing, yet
God has made me forget all my trouble.




























The life you see me living is not "mine," but it is lived by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. I am not going to go back on that.

Galatians 2: 20 (A Message)
