"How am I drawn to this urine soaked alleyway. This place is lonely. Judging from the artifacts that litter the ground, this alleyway is the last stop refuge on a road map of desperation. No one comes here because they feel good, because they want to experience life. They come here for the next fix. The next high. They come here for a restless nights sleep. Why am I drawn to this place? My only guess is? Because it reeks of humanity. Humanity in all its broken, dirty, filthy glory. Drawn here, because I think this is where Jesus would be drawn. This is where Jesus would see beauty amongst the clutter. Where Jesus would see the redeemed. The one's he loves. The one's he came to serve. To save. Jesus is drawn to those who bear his image. Each one of us. Each one in the alley. In the alley."

"My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be One, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be One as we are One— I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete UNIty. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me."
For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to SONship. And by him we cry, "Abba, Father." The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory. | | Back to Top | | |
