Forever

"Till heaven and earth pass away" and then beyond... His righteousness will remain.
It shall forever be to His children a source of strength, and an eternal safeguard.

Like a mountain unmovable is our God...

We cannot rise without Him underneath us; He cannot lift us without our consent.

Get up and climb...
He will never give out on you.

You are the salt... Yes, you.

I’m not sure about you, but there have been few kitchen crises more memorable to me than the times we’ve run entirely out of salt... (Living 2 hours from Wal Mart does have it’s disadvantages...)

Well, life without love is like food without salt. Only, you and I are the salt.
Salt does lots of things, a few jump out at me this morning...

Salt is an intensifier...
Without it, porridge is not as tasty, candy is not as sweet, bread tastes empty, potatoes, tofu, & rice... blah! But add a little, and all the best comes alive...
That’s our job. By our influence the best should be brought out in people. We should be intensifiers (advocates, proponents) of every sweet, and pure, and holy, and beautiful thing. Jesus was...

Everything salt touches, changes...
That’s power! And that’s our job too. Leave no spot untouched for the kingdom of Heaven... And when we are His hands, what we touch, His Spirit will change.

And though it has no heat of it’s own, it melts ice...
Oh, I love this one. Sweet Jesus, use me! I have nothing worthy of my own, even to give to You... How then can it be that you will use little me to break hearts of stone, and melt the strongest, coldest, blackest lie...?

Ahh, the mystery of Love! Thy ways are too high for me...

Thanks for loving me. I love You too...
