I am a rose

"I am a rose; I am a lily". . . Song of Solomon 2:1
describes how the bridegroom views his bride.
My journey of reconciliation to God and acceptance
of His truth about me has brought me to rejoicing
in this declaration. I AM His rose and His lily.
I am lovely in His eyes to the point of Jesus sacrificing
everything so my sin would not keep us apart.
I am a delightful rose. . . and I am thankful.

Delightful Rose

I am free to live for YOU


Freedom comes at a cost. I am free to live abundantly, purposefully and forever because Jesus covered my sinner's debt with His own life. And now I am free to live for Him. Will I limp along in my own understanding or will I soar - empowered by the Holy Spirit? I've been limping a lot more than I would like these days. Part of the journey, I've been told. And yet I know "surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life."

Let me introduce you to Irene. Can't you see the fruit of the Holy Spirit in her countenance? She is responsible for the rescue of 2,500 babies to avert their certain genocide under the evil of Hitler. She was up for the Nobel prize that went to Al Gore instead. She kept detailed records to pave the way for their reunion with surviving family. That is a hope-filled mission of love. She barely survived herself, enduring torture until one man intervened on her behalf. All it takes is one person.
