standard i saw dad s restlessness when i arrived for my night s stay in the hospital he had a look of fear and bewilderment in his eyes the look that always broke my heart after the nurses finished their rounds and things began to quiet down i changed the channel on the tv to one of those meditative stations the hospitals make available as the beautiful photography and soft instrumentals drew him in he began to relax he watched for over an hour i d look at him from time t o time and he d catch my eye giggle a little then cry i don t think i ve ever been so moved before he said i keep praying the same words over and over forgive me lord forgive me lord forgive me lord some might wonder at his confession but i think i understood his meaning when we are weary bone tired dazed and confused wondering if the dark night of the soul will ever end then suddenly we catch a glimpse of his beauty the wonder of his creation the soothing sounds of his music the truth of knowing he is in control hits us we are awestruck we turn we refocus we repent he is greater than all our fears we know he loves us more my jesus i love thee i know thou art mine for thee all the follies of sin i resign my gracious redeemer my savior art thou if ever i loved thee my jesus tis now i love thee because thou hast first loved me and purchased my pardon on calvary s tree i love thee for wearing the thorns on thy brow if ever i loved thee my jesus tis now i ll love thee in life i will love thee in death and praise thee as long as thou lendest me breath and say when the death dew lies cold on my brow if ever i loved thee my jesus tis now in mansions of glory and endless delight i ll ever adore thee in heaven so bright i ll sing with the glittering crown on my brow if ever i loved thee my

time that it is already the hour for you to awaken from sleep for now salvation is nearer to us than when we believed the night is almost gone and the day is near therefore let us lay aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light let us behave properly as in the day not in carousing and drunkenness not in sexual promiscuity and sensuality not in strife and jealousy but put on the lord jesus christ and make no provision for the flesh in regard to its lusts romans 13 11 14 now as to the times and the epochs brethren you have no need of anything to be written to you while they are saying peace and safety then destruction will come upon them suddenly like labor pains upon a woman with child and they will not escape for you yourselves know full well that the day of the lord will come just like a thief in the night but you brethren are not in darkness that the day would overtake you like a thief for you are all sons of light and sons of day we are not of night nor of darkness so then let us not sleep as others do but let us be alert and sober for those who sleep do their sleeping at night and those who get drunk get drunk at night but since we are of the day let us be sober having put on the breastplate of faith and love and as a helmet the hope of salvation 1 thessalonians 5 1 8 but do not let this one fact escape your notice beloved that with the lord one day is like a thousand years and a thousand years like one day the lord is not slow about his promise as some count slowness but is patient toward you not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance but the day of the lord will come like a thief in which the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat and the earth and its works will be burned up since all these things are to be destroyed in this way what sort of people ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness looking for and hastening the coming of the day of god because of which the heavens will be destroyed by burning and the elements will melt with intense heat but according to his promise we are looking for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells therefore beloved since you look for these things be diligent to be found by him in peace spotless and blameless and regard the patience of our lord as salvation 2 peter 3 8 15a therefore be on the alert for you do not know which day your lord is coming but be sure of this that if the head of the house had known at what time of the night the thief was coming he would have been on the alert and would not have allowed his house to be broken into for this reason you also must be ready for the son of man is coming at an hour when you do not think he will the lord jesus christ matthew 24 42 44

it remains a startling story to those who never understand that the men and women who are truly filled with light are those who have gazed deeply into the darkness of their imperfect existence the good news means we can stop lying to ourselves the sweet sound of amazing grace saves us from the necessity of self deception it keeps us from denying that though christ was victorious the battle with lust greed and pride still rages within us as a sinner who has been redeemed i can acknowledge that i am often unloving irritable angry and resentful to those closest to me when i go to church i can leave my white hat at home and admit i have failed god not only loves me as i am but also knows me as i am because of this i don t need to apply spiritual cosmetics to make myself presentable to him i can accept ownership of my poverty and powerlessness and neediness to live by grace means to acknowledge my whole life story the light side and the dark in admitting my shadow side i learn who i am and what god s grace means god blesses those who realize their need for him for the kingdom of heaven is given to them are you tired worn out burned out on religion come to me get away with me and you ll recover your life i ll show you how to take a real rest walk with me and work with me watch how i do it learn the unforced rhythms of grace i won t lay anything heavy or ill fitting on you keep

4 2015 by michelle standard are we good enough for god no we are not no one is good but god jesus a man is not justified by the works of the law but by faith in jesus christ alone we know very well that we are not set right with god by rule keeping but only through personal faith in jesus christ how do we know we tried it and we had the best system of rules the world has ever seen convinced that no human being can please god by self improvement we believed in jesus as the messiah so that we might be set right before god by trusting in the messiah not by trying to be good galatians 2 16 msg no one will ever get it right no one will ever be good enough for god it s impossible to please god without faith and trying to be good is not faith it is trusting in self believe me please for you see i tried it for years and years and years which turned into decades upon decades i was even given the name goody goody throughout my school years yes i thought i could keep myself saved through good works it doesn t matter if you believe your good works will save you before or after you come to know christ either way you re still only trusting in self it wasn t until my late forties that i realized i can do nothing to save me i either have faith in christ alone or it s all a sham and guess what on the other side of self abuse wretched sinfulness and family shattering betrayal finally i understood the grace of god through his son jesus christ he looked upon my sinfulness and bestowed upon me his forgiveness i saw my sin and i knew he saw it yet i felt his grace his love his mercy his redemption i found it is only through christ my lord that i am able to stand before god the father jesus took the punishment i well deserved he endured the suffering for my sins all of them before i was even born yes and even before the foundation of the earth the lamb of god was crucified for us all as a child i learned jesus loved me but i was also taught i must keep myself good for him and if i didn t he would not accept me my standing before him was based upon my good works not his sacrifice alone so why all of the clarification now because i spent so many years teaching it wrong and so many people heard me eventually i did learn the right teaching but without the experiential knowledge it wasn t completely understood within my soul i kept being good for i knew it was wisdom to live well but god he turned up the fire of trials in my life he tested my knowledge and let me go down a path that would solidify my faith it wasn t pretty seeing our own sinfulness is never pretty but necessary and now i know that i know that i know i am the lord s and he is mine and nothing can separate me from his love thank you thank you thank you dear lord please hear me it is still wise to live well but never ever believe your good works will save you or keep you saved in christ alone is our salvation for by grace you are saved through faith and this is not from yourselves it is the

creating pictures for the news and adverts for the times he inspired me to watch and learn to see beauty everywhere he gave me guidance as i tried to express myself with care as we traveled on vacations he pointed out the sights showing much appreciation for the expression of god s might the waterfalls the sparkling streams the chipmunk on the wall were shown to me through his eyes as we walked to view them all the mighty oak reaching to the sky with gnarled limbs and shade dappled sunlight shining through creating wonder with all god made i thank you dad for inspiring me to see
