This Tiny House

-

For now we see a mirror, dimly, but then face to face.  Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known. --[1 Corinthians 13:12]


i sure would like to meet a man holding a pitcher of water and follow him in a house.  A tiny house where all the world has forgotten about the Trinity or have totally disregarded Them, where i get the chance to have my feet washed and where i can wash the feet of this man who's led me to this tiny house, which is great,: yet, compared to eternity, this tiny house doesn't fulfill anything unless occupied by the Holy Spirit.  i could never be lonely in my tiny house because God, who everyone else seems to be forgetting, is with me along with His Son; and, in case i become so immersed in worldly things like most of us are, the Holy Ghost is always in there to remind me about the other Two.

And there could never be any dispute among whom i am dwelling about which one of us is the greatest and should be sitting alongside the Father at His throne.  [Luke 22:24].  In my tiny house i'll always know Who's the greatest and they will plot to kill me just like they killed Lazarus after Jesus brought him back from the grave.  Nobody will listen to the likes of me, nobody wants to look beyond the wickedness at the tips of their noses, not with all the money they can make and all the activities they can carry on without conscience or accountability.  i know.  i was one of them.  Yet Jesus loves me and He will until the end. 

And wile i attempt to sleep in the wee small hours of the morning, the devil or his demons attempt to put into my heart to betray my Lord, like Judas did, and remove Him from my tiny house.  If I can't acknowledge that Jesus is willing to wash my feet, then i can be no part of Him.  i need to be completely clean, and so does this tiny house.

 As He taught them a shadow of the cross fell across the old testament and their "eyes were opened."  He was that ram at Abraham's alter.  He was that spotless Passover Lamb whose blood was shed to bring freedom from slavery and deliverance from death.  He was that scarlet thread that hung out Rahab's window.  The Shepherd King:  David spoke so much about Him in the Psalter.  He was Isaiah's suffering servant, the fourth man in the furnace with Shadrach, Meshash, and Abed-Nego.  And yet He will never vanish from my sight unless i allow it.  Jesus' purpose isn't to push Himself onto anyone.  As humans, as mortals, He wants us to come to Him.  That's probably the only Hunger He ever has!  Is for us to come to Him.  i was the other disciple walking along the road to Emmaus.  i've gone from the road to Damascus to the road to Emmaus.  i've been writing about what Christ has done for me. Praise goes to the Lord! ...

Having Seen the Lord on the Road

 1 Timothy:  Make sure no other doctrine is taught, no fables which cause dispute, where there is no godly edification. Timothy, prevent the spread of false teaching. Legalists cannot mix law and grace.  They engage in idle talk, having strayed with their meaningless babble.  The law is not made for the righteous person, but for the lawless, ungodly, unholy, and profane, something of which i was guilty for so long and even have the temptation to fall back into the pit from time to time.  i obtained God's mercy because i committed those wrongs in unbelief, or as a back-slider and as someone prone to worldly and fleshly desire and lust. Now i believe in Jesus Christ and only by His grace will i obtain everlasting life.  Grace by faith and trust in Him.  In Him alone.  If i were to be a young man's mentor, i would want to be a quiet encourager, a serene influence, i would want to interest him by saying as little meaningless babble as possible and lea...

When I Haven't Removed the Plank From My Own Eye

Heavenly Father, help me align myself to Your will.  Shall i take advantage of the free time and begin at the seminary?  Could i use this motel room as a sanctuary despite the distractions?  Please help me before idolatry decays my soul any further.  Don't let this defeating habit in my life rob me of my confidence in Your power to give me victory over sin making me hesitant to offer Christ as the answer to others controlled by sin.  Don't let this habit destroy my incentive to share my faith because of feeling like a hypocrite.  How could i witness to others when i haven't removed the plank from my own eye? --[Matthew 7: 1-5] Sin always results in death of some kind. It is worth the continual struggle to combat temptation.  The awful, never-ending process of combating temptation is God's means of maturing me and confirming me to the image of Christ.  To throw my hands up in defeat is to abandon the process and to miss out on life's most important...
