word for Christopher

Be blessed man of God, secure in whose you are.

 

There is an old Fleetwood Mac song with lyrics like, “Don’t stop thinking

about tomorrow. yesterday’s gone, Yes, yesterday’s gone." In the eyes of Father,

He does not see that which was. He sees what is yet to come. He sees beyond

what we know (yesterday).  He sees what we would call the future. As you

have accepted Jesus all else has been removed.

 

You are perfect through Jesus. What we were yesterday, has past, as if it

never has been.  You have the heart of Jesus compassion.

 

Paul wrote,

But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ.

What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth

of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I

consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not

having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which

is through faith in Christ —the righteousness that comes from God on the

basis of faith. I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his

resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his

death, and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead.

Philippians 3:7-11 (NIV)

 

I see a man hidden away in a cabin near the edge of the woods. He is looking

out a window, searching for the horizon. each day he looks out for a sign,

but he never sees the horizon nor the sun in the sky, so he retreats into

the protection of the cabin where he has been since he took shelter from the

blowing storm.

 

You are that man. You had been set in the cabin for a time of safety, but it

is now time for you to step out. You were not there for punishment. You are

loved by Father. There is nothing you can do to cause him to love you any

less or any more.

 

If you step out and look about you will see the sun high above you. It will

illuminate the pathway for you. He has set you apart and equipped you like

no other. You are able to reach the lost; the broken hearted; those who feel

worthless in their daily life.

 

Within you is Christ love and compassion. You are hope to the hopeless, and

comfort to those who need comfort. You display the compassion of Jesus

which enables healing to occur.

 

You contain the worth of Jesus. It pours in and through you. You display the

truth of Him. Each day, look forward, as there is no yesterday. Find the Son

and He will give you acceptance and guidance for what is needed.
