It's a strange thing, this thing we call life. Stuck between here and there we climb and crawl, run and leap. All the time fighting, clawing, stretching out towards....something.....stretching out toward...everything. We're always stretched out between the two of us, who we are and who we should be. We're always struggling between that sin nature, that root of rebellion born in us at Eden and straining toward what Christ has born in us anew, the new humanity. The new humanity, Christ in me the hope of redemption. The new humanity, God's desire for all men. Redemption and justice paid for with mercy. So I struggle on, not to repay an un-payable debt but from the love born in me through Christ. Whatever I have thought was important. Whatever I have pursued, in the end is nothing compared to knowing God and giving the world an accurate view of him by loving His people.
God, help me to fully embrace my new humanity, help me to love as you love, with hope, dignity, integrity, intention and without reservation, or expectation.
