The Rhythms of His Heart

This morning I was reading Philippians 2, where Jesus did not grasp His glory, but let go of the glories of heaven to become a humble servant.  I read: "who, though he was in  the form of God, did not count equality with God  a thing to be grasped,     but  emptied himself, by taking the form of a  servant  being born in the likeness of men.  And being found in human form, he humbled himself by  becoming obedient to the point of death,  even death on a cross. " "...a thing to be grasped" jumped off the page and is forever stamped on my heart.  This tells me that Jesus understood what it means to let go...what it means to give up...what it means to surrender to the Father's plan. I don't even want to pretend that my call to surrender is  the same as Jesus'. He was God and was in heaven, but He left it all for me!!  Whoa! I have been walking through a season though where this passage gives me strength because Jesus understands! These last few month

Recently I received this little tree ornament for my Birthday! To you, it may remind you of "The Wizard of Oz" or even the sad story of "Christmas Shoes"...or maybe not! It does however represent to me a symbol of faith!  For 26 years I have lived in this body...cerebral palsy weakens my knees, muscles and turns in my feet! Oh, but don't feel sorry for me...one day I will put on my red heeled shoes and I will dance! If my Jesus doesn't heal me here on the earth...then in heaven! Healing will happen! It would be so cool to let Jesus have my first dance, don't you think? I am waiting...asking and believing my Healer and this shoe will be a reminder to have hope and faith that Jesus will be the restorer of this body...here maybe...but in heaven for sure!
