A life of grace is very good. A life in the Holy Wild is good. It is a life where knowing reigns supreme. Where knowing that everything worth wondering about is settled. So when a question arises, the answer is "Finished." The answer is "Yes and Amen." Then what is left is feelings, too. These feelings in a restored soul are love, joy, peace, patience, goodness, kindness, gentleness, longsuffering (why do I always forget that last one?)
From the vantage point of my Father's lap, it is clear that there is healing available for the soul who pursues it. There is indeed a balm in Gilead. Maybe only after an aching soul gets a chance to see the damage being done by leading others to ache as well, will they seek the balm for someone else, and come in contact with it themselves. One touch of Grace is all it takes.
Father, heat the balm to cause the aroma of "finished" to linger. Contrast it with false satisfaction. Use your church to walk daily in the contrast. I was broken, but now I am whole. I ached, but now I am at rest.
Hey David! God’s blessings to you and your loved ones this Christmas season. I was touched by His grace. I was broken. I was lost and I was not the man He created me to be. God is good!
