Isaiah 53:5-6 (MSG)    

2-6 The servant grew up before God—a scrawny seedling,
    a scrubby plant in a parched field.    There was nothing attractive about him, nothing to cause us to take a second look.  He was looked down on and passed over,  a man who suffered, who knew pain firsthand.


One look at him and people turned away. 
 We looked down on him, thought he was scum.
But the fact is, it was our pains he carried—  
 our disfigurements, all the things wrong with us.
We thought he brought it on himself,
 that God was punishing him for his own failures.


But it was our sins that did that to him, that ripped and tore and crushed him—our sins!


He took the punishment, and that made us whole.  Through his bruises we get healed.
We’re all like sheep who’ve wandered off and gotten lost.  We’ve all done our own thing, gone our own way.  And God has piled all our sins, everything we’ve done wrong, on him, on him.

 

Psalm 14:1 (NIV)    

For the director of music. Of David.

The fool[a] says in his heart, “There is no God.”  They are corrupt, their deeds are vile; there is no one who does good.

 Daily Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (Thinking out loud)

 

Lord you know this heart.   Be with friends going through it.   More dear loved one’s down for the count.  Be with Rob as he is going through it in ICU and be with Irene as she paces the floors sick and alone at home.  Not sure what is next.   May their faith in you heal them and keep them comforted during this storm.   May all that know and love them lift them up in good spirit, well-being, and all they need to keep going forward if this is your will? Your Will Be Done @ CityALight

Thank you for this new day, this new month.  Lord give me direction, strength to finish what you tasked me to do. Let Me Finish @Erik Vargas

 

Day to day is such a whirlwind and the layers different but same just keep coming.  Somedays lighter some days heavier.    As I reflect and know how blessed I am with everything or nothing.  Still blessed beyond deserving.

Ready for the winds of change Jesus.  Ready for something meaningful and lasting and not just the spin trying to keep things floating especially for those who really do not care.  They just ride the coattails and waves of everyone who has arms wide open to receive and care. Arms Wide Open @Creed

 

It is not about me, really it is not.  Although I am so ready to just sail off and not care so much any longer.   I have always struggled with feeling as the winds of time has shown me the truth that sometimes cuts deeper than what I care to want to heal through.   

The world will never be the same and knowing you Jesus gives such a deep peace, but the weight and the weariness still come.       So over what is temporal in this place.   People, places, and things.   Those that you believe in and find you were so confused or those that were so beautiful, and they are taken.      Why are we working to just go through the motions? 

Working since I was 14 then to just survive and grow forward; now everything I worked for was for so many years for everyone else and in the end none of it matters.  Just okay is never enough; doing for everyone else who really only live for the moment and never really stand in the truth for everlasting  purpose.  At least not for the reasons they market and sell out in the world.  I am weary Father God for so many reasons, May I rest in you and renew and not just keep going through the motions even though I do good things.  The Motions @Matthew West

 May they be great things for you and for more than what I see and feel.  May I feel that energy to just fight a little more.  Because today reality says I am done…I'll Find You (Video) @Lecrae ft. Tori Kelly

 

Love what I do serving you Father!  Without a doubt, yet here I am again at the crossroads where those detour signs letting me know danger is up ahead if I do not find the direction needed to be more, be better, be me for what matters and clean up all that never should have even been considered in my view; yet it was.    Have mercy on all that I am connected including me Jesus!    Waitin' for the Bus / Jesus Just Left Chicago @ZZ Top

 

Resurrection is coming, no doubt about.   You left that tomb long ago and are coming back and are with those who believe here and now.  No matter what we feel, what we do.  You will never turn your back on those suffering, hurting, broken or together.  You will never just let your children go.  You always come back for the one even when there are 99 others.  It is your reckless love that teaches us what life truly is. Reckless Love (Live with story) @Cory Asbury

  It is your love alone that will never fail, never compare to anything this world is or ever will be.

You know what I do, what I feel, what I want, what I need.  Jesus come for me and all this world as we know it.     Show me the different view of what you see and that all this has not been wasted time we will never get back. Wasted Time @Unspoken  I cannot change what was, nor would I ever want to.  Who would I be if I did not go through these lessons?     Jesus help me make sense of the time you give me and all I am connected.   Show me how, show me when.  Show me you!   My world needs you!!!!   My World Needs You @Kirk Franklin, Feat. Tamela Mann, Tasha Cobbs, and Sarah Reeves
