Good morning Theophilus 1.21.2019

May the goodness of the Lord be with us.  May the grace,  love, mercy, and unrelenting joy of the Lord be with us. May the peace of the Lord, the promises of the Lord, and the awe-inspiring presence of Lord be with us.  May this week be a week of praise to the God of heaven and earth,  a week of adventure and excitement, and a week of Happy Monday!  Love you--- Cassius

MLK Day 2019

"But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream (Amos 5:24)." 

May the One, who gave voice, true righteousness, justice and hope to countless multitudes through His Son, through teachers and prophets of old, and through national heroes and heroines, give us renewed hope, incredible courage, and His mighty power to bring justice like a river, and "righteousness like a never failing stream" to this generation and those to come. 

Be bold, brave, and blessed.  Happy Monday, happy MLK day! 

Love you--- Cassius

Happy New Year!!

He said, "forget all that (the trials, difficulties and challenges, even the triumph, victories, and miracles) — it is nothing compared to what I am going to do. For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? I will make a pathway through the wilderness. I will create rivers in the dry wasteland (Isaiah 43:18‭-‬19)." 

And what I heard is, "Oh yeah, its about to absolutely pop off!!"  God, the infinite Creator, absolute Author, Most Amazing and Mighty God, He is already at work doing something new... not my words, but His.  And He said, it is bigger than anything we have already seen... something that will make the past (the miracles, the triumph, the breakthroughs and the rescues) seem like nothing... like nothing at all in comparison...  Not my words, but His! 

Can you even imagine how good this day, this week, this month, this year, even the rest of this very life is going to be because He said so?  He says He will give us clarity, vision, and a way to walk, even a way through the wilderness... "And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, 'This is the way, walk in it,' (Isaiah 30:21)." He is that Way (John 14:6). 

But wait, there is more.  Then, He says, the dry places will be recreated with rivers... That is rivers, with an 's'!   The wasteland barren and dry and devoid of life, think dust and tumbleweeds, think sand as far as the eye can see devoid of signs of life type dryness.  And yet, He says this dry wasteland, my dry wasteland and your dry wasteland, our places where we've become dry and barren are already becoming springs and fountains; flowing streams of mercy that are never ceasing... pools of grace beyond measure... rich and full waters of life, and health, and wholeness, and teaming abundance.   "Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water' (John 7:38)," and  "the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life (John 14:4)."

These are not my words, but His!  So, let's take Him at His Word and believe that He is already at work doing exceedingly, and abundantly more than we can ever ask, think, dare to imagine, or recall has been done before...

Happy New Year!
