Thank You Lord.
I love and appreciate you, my Brother.
I have read this through a few times and have been very blessed. There is so much to truly contemplate and rest in, in our new and true identity. Thanks, Tim.
What joy, Tim, to find your blog – somehow have missed it. Special, and edifying, and encouraging, and breathing out with the life, love, joy, peace of Christ.
This is a reminder that ALL have been called to BE – even those who seem to believe differently, to “hear a different drummer”, who ARE His, in whatever form they presently have. I remember it saying in Mark 16:12 that Jesus would “take a different form”, and be unfamiliar to those who knew Him. It reminds us to see Jesus Christ in each one, and to love each one right where he is.
You do that, which is something that blesses me. So many today are looking for error, for evil, for…welll whatever is not “Christian”. Thank God that such were not around me when He was leading me to Him – a “good Methodist” that He (yes, it ws HE) took through Scientology and Reincarnation. In the end, it was the lack of peace, and some He put in my way who knew Him…REALLY knew Him.
And so, I do not judge – I love, forgive, and…pray…
Christ in His Tim form – His lover going forth to love, His blesser going forth to bless…His “lighthouse”. Amen
