A feast

From Flying Free

Have you ever been minding your own business, when out of the blue, who you are as a person is attacked? I experienced two of these in one week from two different sources, but after the initial wince from the blows, I was able to go back to Center because of the peace in my home and the love of healthy friends and family.

Everyone needs a place to truly let their hair down and REST in being able to be themselves with no fear. That's peace. That's what it means to be loved.

When I didn't have that in my past, I found it in the hidden place of my relationship with Jesus, and He was enough to get me through. But God's intention was never that His created beings would be so cruel as to drive others into corners where there was nothing but Jesus. God's intention for the human race was a FEAST of fellowship with one another because of what Christ did for us on the cross. He was the Scapegoat so nobody else would have to be.

It's supposed to be a BODY of believers who are unified in spreading love and peace to those around us. Jesus is IN US and living THROUGH US.

If you don't have peace in your life or your home or your relationships, I feel for you. I've spent most of my life in that dark place. Jesus is enough while you continue to feel your way toward the light. And He will help you get there. It might feel like just a tiny glowing ember, but it is there, and you can use it to give a bit of warmth and light to the soul next to you who is also stumbling toward the light.

Make your own mini-feast of fellowship. Be faithful in your dark, and one day you will have a blazing bonfire to share with a wider circle of people. And together, we can set the world on fire with the love of Jesus.
