Ash Wednesday... the branches of Palm Sunday... burned as a reminder of Good Friday...
A time to contemplate sin... the need for rescue... the reason He chose to hang on a cross...
Head bowed... considering me... the confession it came...
Forgive me for being OK with gray...
Gray... light mixed with dark...
How many places do I compromise...? don't engage with a whole-heart...? concern myself with me... more than others...?
This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you:
God is light; in him there is no darkness at all.
If we claim to have fellowship with him
yet walk in darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth.
1 John 1:5-6
(emphasis added)
No darkness... is Light...
a half-truth... a lie...
a gray-life... a walk in darkness...
But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light,
we have fellowship with one another,
and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.
1 John 1:7
(emphasis added)
The reason... for the ashes... the Good... in the upcoming Friday...
a reminder... that He has work to do... in me...
and tonight... unexpectedly... a heart prepared...
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit;
a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.
Psalm 51:17
Thank You... Jesus...
