The spirit of the Lord is upon me, because He has anointed me. He has sent me to preach to the meek, to heal the contrite of heart, to preach release to captives, and to give sight to the blind; to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of visitation of our God, to comfort all who mourn.
Greetings
Royal Priests are everywhere. Any believer of Jesus the Christ our Lord and Savior is called to priesthood. Any heart that is restless and breaks free in small bursts of grace, any soul that persists under pressure, any mind that ponders the vastness of the glory of God is a Royal Priest.
Not to take too much of the spotlight, but this blog is my part in the story, indeed The Greatest Story Ever Written - the story of God and mankind. Though the holy fire has been doused somewhat with my reunion with the world, the embers are here - with the hope that you, dear reader, might have enough to light your way. Remember, Our Lord is always with us...even in everyday moments. Nothing is so "real" that it loses its spiritual side. If you need anything, know that His Door is always open and His Light is always on. May God bless you always, my friend.
Answer the call, and begin the adventure of your life.
Love. Life.
Being in a worldly relationship gives me a small glimpse of the requirements of God's relationship with mankind. Acceptance of our differences while maintaining our individual standards, giving and taking, and of course feeling like you're in Heaven while bearing a cross...
