I Am What I Am

1 Corinthians 15:10 (New International Version)

¹⁰But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them—yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me.
I am saved by grace
By His mercy and kindness
I am what I am

No Less Blind

John 19:21 (New International Version)

²¹The chief priests of the Jews protested to Pilate, "Do not write 'The King of the Jews,' but that this man claimed to be king of the Jews."
Today many dismiss Jesus, the One Who claims to be the Son of God.  They are no less blind than the ones that shouted, "crucify him!" long ago.  

Cloth

The fabric of our lives

Serves as cloth for God to weave

Our heavenly robes

                                                  

He Who Does

Matthew 7:21 (New International Version)

 ²¹"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.

Believing you believe

Does not replace obeying God

That is love defined

Dust

Genesis 2:7 (New International Version)

⁷ the LORD God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.

As the dust settles

Clay jars that remain empty

Return dust to dust

He Appeared

1 Corinthians 15:7 (New International Version)

⁷Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles,
The word apostles applied to all those who saw the risen Lord.  We may have missed the first opportunity, but we can make sure we don't miss Him the next chance we get.

Tears

Genesis 29:11 (New King James Version)

¹¹ Then Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice and wept.
There are those moments
When only tears are spoken
Of things beyond words
