In Jesus’ Name!

A vulnerable moment… my wife, Kim, is more of a behind-the-scenes servant of Jesus. Her partnership alongside me in life has been and continues to be such a beautiful sacrifice of love. Those who know her, know that she loves the Lord with unwavering and dedicated loyalty. Sometimes, like today, she walks past me with her AirPods in as she sings along. Today, she passed by me, so visibly lost in wonder, love and praise and singing one of her favorites by CeCe Winans, "The Goodness of God." It is such tender sacredness to my soul to be married to a lady who worships our God always. -kww

Here’s A Really Hard Day in Words…
"And they brought Jesus unto the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, The place of a skull. And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh: but he received it not. And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments, casting lots upon them, what every man should take. And it was the third hour, and they crucified him. And the superscription of his accusation was written over, THE KING OF THE JEWS. And with him they crucify two thieves; the one on his right hand, and the other on his left. And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was numbered with the transgressors. And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads, and saying, Ah, thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, Likewise also the chief priests mocking said among themselves with the scribes, He saved others; himself he cannot save. Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reviled him. And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour. And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he calleth Elias. And one ran and filled a spunge full of vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone; let us see whether Elias will come to take him down. And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost. And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom. And when the centurion, which stood over against him, saw that he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God." Mark 15:22-29, 31-39 KJV
Let us reflect and be grateful…

"…God sent His Son… so that He could adopt us as His very own children… and now we can call God our dear Father… and since we are His children, everything He has belongs to us." Portions from Galatians 4:4-7 [NLT, 1996 Edition]

These words of Jesus were for much of my life mostly mysterious, yet since the year 2020, the words especially seem to be reality in too many families:
“Your enemies will be right in your own household!’” Matthew 10:36 NLT
It saddens me deeply and makes my intercessory prayers more fervent than ever. As sin separates loved ones, my heart cries out: “Lord have mercy” and “Maranatha!” -kww
Let us pray!
