Dare To Live in The Name

Truth

A certain tree stood in the Garden of Eden
With a long and appealing name.
God commanded not to eat of it,
Yet today we learn of our weakness and shame.

But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil,
thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof
thou shalt surely die. ~Gen. 2: 17
~

Years later, people decided to build a tower
That would reach up to heaven based on their power
And did this action with great desire
In making for themselves an exalted name-
Then downfall occurred …just the same.

Go to, let us build us a city and a tower,
whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we
be scattered abroad upon the
face of the whole earth. ~Genesis 11:4
~

There’s only one everlasting name to call upon, faithful and true to provide
All our needs are met in Him, and in His Spirit and love we abide.

Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made
heaven and earth ~Psalm 124: 8


Dare

Dare to live in the name of one
who made himself of no reputation
but as a humble servant committed to
the purpose of the divine vocation.
Help all those appearing to you in need
loving them fully in truth and deed.

Broken-hearted

Broken-hearted

Among many stony hearts stood a trembling woman in desperate need of
consolation. Jesus was now before her bleeding, hurting, and pierced
in both handsand feet. Where is the window in the sky that used to open up bright with thevoice of wisdom and commanding words to stop this cruelty?
Didn’t this crowdremember what the voice from Heaven had already
proclaimed to the entireworld about His Son?


Dark day fell upon us to nail Hope to a tree. Birds and angels were
no longer singing but looking at Hope and wanting to set Him free,
yet it was not the hour for Hope to be free. Vast clouds of gray
gathered together to weep over the precious Lamb of God.
The heart of Mary which prayerfully pondered all things in unmovable
faith and devotion had quietly snapped,breaking in two
... and only Lord Jesus knew.

From the cross, He spoke to her and then to His Beloved
to take care of her.From the cross, He remained compassionate,
faithful and true. From the cross,Christ still commanded and was
obeyed by those who truly loved Him. Though His body was torn,
His Spirit remained strong. The crying heart of Mary had
broke in the presence of our suffering Christ, but would soon
rejoice again with others in the eternal pastures of Paradise
created and ruled by the Lord of Lords.
