The un-caged bird always sings!


The Un-caged bird always sings!

Are you denied a place at the table of human kindness?  Can your soul prosper in hostile environment?  Can you dance among sorrow and suffering, and smile among the face of grief? 

How can we widen the table to include the outcast, the estranged, and even the enemy?  How can we widen the table to include our messy and deprived self?  The flesh that is so easily snared.  Is it all about that momentary picture in your mind?  Or is it the picture of the one that can un-cage the bird to always sing! Who is that one? What is the song saying, is it relaying the message of the outrageously, hospitable love of God!  The birdhouse that is filled and overflowing with food.  The word being ingested.  It brings hearth to the human heart.  The song converts an unending process of submitting ourselves anew every moment of every day.  

Don't skip a moment, because that could be the moment of forgiveness, that desperate minute of grace, the swift, clicking hand of mercy, or hidden joy as the clock ticks.  And maybe, just maybe that quick, swirl around the globe, that gracefully displays the delicate, dance of life that can continue to prosper among sorrow and suffering!  Each moment is accountable and ends at the foot of the cross.  The path that comes to an end and begins at redemption and ends with redeemed!

Does our language sign exclusion or embrace?  Does it reflect the un-caged bird that always has a song in it's heart?  Can you and I be the hand of hope, that just might change that momentary picture to mercy?  Can we reflect the heart of the Master....who holds the clock of time.  Can we include Jesus at our table, to clean up the messy and give us mercy that transforms to miracle!

Day 3 - Revealing the Heart!

Day 3 - Revealing the Heart  Can we let truth speak louder than our feelings?  The longer we speak, read and live truth, our feelings will need to agree!  While reading my devotional today in (Ephesians 3:12) it talks about having courage and confidence in Christ.  The word used in the text was unreserved.   I wanted to look up the definition.  And as I read it, it created this boldness in my heart while I read the words out loud. You may want to try doing this yourself.   It started with unconditional, unqualified (no qualification required) without reservation, unlimited, categorical, unequivocal, unambiguous, absolute, complete, thorough, wholehearted, full, total and undivided.  This is God's love, his love is complete and unlimited.  There is only one way to interpret it, clear and concise.  It goes on to say in ( Ephesians 3:17) by faith we are rooted and grounded in Christ's love!  We often distance ourselves from the very source we need because of feelings

Day 2 - JOY

Image
Day 2 You might think there is a magic formula in obtaining "Joy".  Relationship and resolution to have a closer relationship with the one who provides joy, it is a simple formula, but few take it.  Psalm 33:22 "Let your loving kindness, O Lord, be upon us, according, as we have hope in You."   As we claim every promise that God has given us as our own, it deposits one more gem of joy in our heart.  As we take this journey of joy together, be patient as He shows us victory in every circumstance, no matter how it looks to us on the outside of our heart.  He can give us peace from within. Keep your focus on the beauty of His creative and magnificent hand.  And before long, you will feel Him holding your hand.  "We wait for the Lord.  he is our help and our shield.  In him our hearts find joy.  In his holy name we trust."   Psalm 33:20-21 The heart of gratitude!  1.) Thank you for sharing the Garden 2.)  Another beautiful day
