I hope you dance.

The Lord’s Chosen Servant

42 Behold my servant, whom I uphold,

my chosen, in whom my soul delights;

I have put my Spirit upon him;

he will bring forth justice to the nations.

 He will not cry aloud or lift up his voice,

or make it heard in the street;

a bruised reed he will not break,

and a faintly burning wick he will not quench;

he will faithfully bring forth justice.

 He will not grow faint or be discouraged

till he has established justice in the earth;

and the coastlands wait for his law.

  Thus says God, the Lord,

who created the heavens and stretched them out,

who spread out the earth and what comes from it,

who gives breath to the people on it

and spirit to those who walk in it:

 “I am the Lord; oI have called you in righteousness;

I will take you by the hand and keep you;

I will give you as a covenant for the people,

a light for the nations


The Messiah was, said in Isaiah 42, to be the Light for the nations of the world. This is a bold prophecy of the coming Savior. The old testament has 42 prophecies of Christ's coming. And Jesus, Our Lord fulfilled them all! Isaiah 42 from verse 1 through verse 6 speaks about Jesus and what He is, what He will go through and God's promise to us.  God's spirit in the form of a dove rest upon Jesus as the messenger to hail him in baptized him. He would be bruised but not broken. He will not let us down. He will be the Light to a dark world.

Jesus went to the cross to save us all. He laid down His life to give us life. When we go through the troubles that this life brings instead of cowering in the corner or allowing the trouble to get the best of us we should trust Jesus. Step out into the storm. And trust in Him. Dance in the storm with Him by our side. Seek His lessons in the trials. Boldly come to Him with the troubles. Knowing deep within us we will see the light at the end of the tunnel. We will get through it with His Grace and His Mercy. We can do all things through Christ. We lack Nothing. We need only to have the faith the size of a mustard seed.  Dance in the storm my friends. Dance in the arms of our Savior. Who calms the storm. Who says Peace be still. Who calls us out of the boat to walk on the water.
Be at peace Child of God. And boldly step up on the feet of Jesus and let Him lead the dance.

Free and unmerited favor..bestowal of blessings

Hebrews 4:16  So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most.

John 15



Jesus tells us that He is the true vine, and His Father the gardener. He cuts the branches that don't produce fruit and prunes other to produce more. And this has me thinking about something. My imperfection. I am being referred to here in this verse as a tree in need of pruning. (As is anyone that professes faith in Jesus Christ) I am not perfect. I have branches that have been damaged thru storms. My roots run deep and sometimes pick up murky waters of doubt. My leaves are green but the fall of my life is coming. You can find great shade under my branches with my little seedlings that grow and try to grow faster than they are able. But this tree. This vessel in all her imperfections, broken spots is bearing fruit. Why? Because of Grace. God's grace.

grace. blessing despite the fact we do not deserve.

In nature a broken tree will not grow straight. It may die quickly depending on the damage. It does not flourish. But this tree. The tree covered by God's grace grows, is full and healthy despite the broken spots. He blesses it . He tends it. He prunes it and cultivates the soil around it. He makes sure a constant flow of abundantly clean water is fed to it.

Now Mercy.

mercy. not being punished as deserved

I deserve nothing I have done nothing to earn any blessing. And that is the point. WE can't earn our ways to heaven it is freely given.
My soul is deserving of Hell. Oh yes. I am a good person. I am kind to others. I willingly help those around me. But this will not get me to the gates of Heaven!!  Because of God's merciful loving kindness I have been redeemed and can enter His gates. Which gives me a thankful heart and as a result I do as He commands. And that is to Love.

Love Each Other.

Not because you have to. Not because of duty but because of the over flowing love and mercy that Jesus has shown you.
Jesus Said LOVE!!

Beloved. Love as you have been loved. And if we all loved to the measure that we have been shown love. OH!  how we could change the world!
