LOST

 

“But as for me, my feet had almost slipped, I had nearly lost my foothold.” Psalm 73:2

We are so frequently tempted off the path that the Lord has set before us. In our hearts we know how the sinful nature is so alluring and we dare not give in to the enticing, and yet we are so easily drawn off the path. Our trespasses whether large or small, all make us fall short of His glory. And as we trip, we then reach out for our Lord. We are so unworthy of His mercy… And. yet His loving arms are outreached for us.

 

MESSENGER

I sit and know the truth…., and as I look around I am so very saddened by the darkness that seems to mostly surround me.. Scripture tells about the blindness of a harden heart, and light will never penetrate because evil has consumed their very souls. The sun shines so brightly for those who know the one true God, and yet, the dimness fills our earth. Christianity is persecuted and the vast majority just stand back and turn away, distancing themselves so they can rationalize the horror. The word is a reflection of the light, but the word falls on so many deaf ears.. I pray to my Lord…, help me find the the conduit, guide me to be even just a small catalyst, direct my way down the righteous path as through me, they see You…. I raise my hands to my one true God…, and silence seems to return.  My spirit speaks to me, cleanse your soul, cleanse your lips, purify your temple fully for the chasm between the Holy One and you is too great. For my mirror is tarnished by even the small sins, and the reflection is not visible enough for many to see. Walk upright always before the Lord, for we are the salt, and we must be a beacon to help lead the lost to the one true light, the Son……….
