When I read this scripture, I get caught up in the overwhelming number of times I say Christ Jesus, God and Lord that I can’t get the message. The words distract me.

In an attempt to find what God wanted me to hear in the scripture passage, I took away the names and drew out the other “main” words. This is what I was left with to meditate on…

Apostle

Will

Brother

Church

Sacrifice

Holy

Grace

Peace

When I was able to focus on these words, the message I needed to hear was much more clear. I am and APOSTLE, a follower of the WILL of God who comes together with my BROTHERs and sisters in the CHURCH to give SACRIFICE to the most HOLY and find GRACE and PEACE!

This image makes me think of how it would look/feel to be washed with God’s grace and peace!
