“The Word became flesh and moved into the neighborhood … Generous inside and out, true from start to finish.” John 1:14 The Message
What is it about Jesus …?
There was no one like him .. and it hasn’t changed. He was and is generous to the point of appearing wasteful and undiscriminating. That’s the way God’s love works in a measured and messed up world. Anyone could approach him with anything in their life that was tormenting them or eating their life away on the inside. It is the same today .. even at this moment. You can still approach him with anything at anytime. He limited himself when he wore our flesh and blood. He’s not limited anymore. Anyone who approached him found out how true his life and his words became in their life. It is the same today .. even at this moment. His life will wash you in truth inside and out. And he won’t hold back … he’ll be unbelievably generous inside your life. It is who He is …! Everyone who approaches him .. calls upon him .. and lets-go-and-trusts-him discovers that Jesus makes new life inside and out. And he continues to make life new in every neighborhood heart where he lives by his risen spirit today. The same Jesus you read about is the same Jesus who reads your heart and longs to write his story in and through your life today. It’s his story written within the journey of your life that makes you generous inside and out .. true from start to finish. It only takes a moment ..
“He gave us a good bath, and we came out of it new people, washed inside and out.” Titus 3:5 The Message
