Faith: Firm Belief; Complete Trust

 
 Now faith means putting our full confidence in the things we hope for, it means being certain of things we cannot see. It was this kind of faith that won their reputation for the saints of old. And it is after all only by faith that our minds accept as fact that the whole scheme of time and space was created by God’s command—that the world which we can see has come into being through principles which are invisible.
(Hebrews 11:1-3 J.B. Phillips)

Jump: Leap of Faith

 
It’s impossible to please God apart from faith. And why? Because anyone who wants to approach God must believe both that he exists and that he cares enough to respond to those who seek him.
(Hebrews 11:6 The Message)
 
 
 
 
Jesus
Understands
My
Purpose.
I
Need not second
Guess.
 
Tomorrow,
Always and
Now:
Depending on Jesus,
Enables
Me.

Potential: Capable of Being Developed

Listen carefully: Unless a grain of wheat is buried in the ground, dead to the world, it is never any more than a grain of wheat. But if it is buried, it sprouts and reproduces itself many times over. In the same way, anyone who holds on to life just as it is destroys that life. But if you let it go, reckless in your love, you’ll have it forever, real and eternal.
(John 12:25-25 The Message)
 
 

 
 
 
Please ripen me–
Omnipotent,
Tender,
Eternal
Never failing,
Totally capable,
Infinite,
All consuming–
Lover of My Soul.

Answer:To Act in Response To

 
God answer you on the day you crash,
The name God-of-Jacob
put you out of harm’s reach,
Send reinforcements from Holy Hill,
Dispatch from Zion fresh supplies,
Exclaim over your offerings,
Celebrate your sacrifices,
Give you what your heart desires,
Accomplish your plans.
(Psalm 20:1-4 The Message)
 
 
 
Almighty God-
Nothing makes
Sense
Without your
Eternal,
Redemptive Love

Dream: To Consider as a Possibility

 
 And Jesus said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.
(Luke 18:27 KJV)
 
 
 
Daring to
Return to
Edenic joys
And 
Music

 

 
 
 
As I look forward to a weekend with some other dreamers, I wanted to know more about the word…
 
Dream comes from Old English meaning “music, joy.”
 
Often we ask, what is “my dream” or what is God dreaming for us?

Today as I discovered this unexpected root meaning of dream, I asked myself these questions:
 
What is my joy? What music does my life express? What makes me want to sing for joy?
 
I look forward to exploring the answers to these questions with God over the next few days and especially as we gather this weekend for  Jumping Tandem-The Retreat.
