The new year is always a big deal, even though the transpiring of December 31st to January 1st is no different than July 10th to July 11th. But either way its making me reflect, as many of you may have done also.
I'm really thinking beyond 2008 itself becuase 2007 is finding its way into my thoughts. I am watching the Passion 07 DVD, which happened exactly 2 years ago. I am thinking about my mindset two years ago and the journey I have been on since then and the only word that comes to mind is RESCUE.
Read Colossians 1, specifically verses 10-14.
10And we pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, 11being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and joyfully 12giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of light. 13For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, 14in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
There is nothing in me that I can claim brought me from where I was 2, 3, 4+ years ago to the place where I am today. And that place is not a place above anyone or anything, but a place of perspective and clarity.
And there are no words or deep thoughts for me to put here. All I want to do or say here is that I am nothing, and Christ is everything. And for some reason He chose me and that is all that matters.
