Jesus And Java

Jesus and Java

I sit on my porch drinking coffee
Never failing to find you there
Always talking of needs and wants
Sometimes selfishly…… I dare

Not consider this burden you haul
A pure sacrifice of adoring love
To a wicked generations of me
Whom have been gifted a heaven above

The amazing Grace all around us
And we’re marching like hypnotized clones
While you forgive wretches like me
Still were casting our hypocrite stones

Ever conflicted I hear your voice
Warm as honey in my soul
Promising me truth in your freedom
To make this rancid heart whole

Someday I’ll breathe my last tomorrow
With hopes My Savior will appear
To take my hand and lead me home
Whispering his solace in my ear

For not a dreary day has come
That you haven’t led my way
From my darkness to your light
Eternally .. grateful.. I patiently pray

An Uncommon Call

Jesus’ obedience began in a small town carpentry shop. His uncommon approach to his common life groomed him for his uncommon call. In order to change the world Jesus had to say goodbye to his world. 1 Peter 1:20 (TLB) says, “God chose him for this purpose long before the world began.” Every ounce of suffering had been scripted. It just fell to him to play the part.

When you come up with a word for such love, give it to Christ. For the day he left Nazareth is the day he declared his devotion for you and me. But God, immense in mercy and with an incredible love, embraced us. He took our sin-dead lives and made us alive in Christ. Perhaps we’re not so common after all!

He Became Like Us

John 1:14 says, “The Word became flesh and lived among us.” The God of the universe left the glory of heaven and moved into the neighborhood. Our neighborhood! Why? Because He loves to be with the ones he loves.

There’s a remarkable story about a man injured in a fire. While attempting to save his parents, his face was burned and disfigured. He wouldn’t let anyone see him, including his wife. When she went to a plastic surgeon for help, he assured he could restore her husband’s face. But she wasn’t there to restore her husband’s face. She wanted her face disfigured so she could share in his pain.

It’s the way God feels about us. He took on our face, our disfigurement. He became like us to show us how far he will go to be with the ones he loves.
