He who died for all is still painting the canvas of your life

Monday Message
Freedom…that’s one word we think of when we gather with family and friends to celebrate Memorial Day.
Thanks for joining us for Monday’s Message with Abigail Rice and Trench Classes United.  Today’s Message reminds us that freedom is never free; someone paid the price.
 
As we commemorate those who have fallen
Who sacrificed
For our freedom
For our faith
Can you look back now
and see how far you came?
 
The grief
The pain
The sleepless nights
Toiling over loss
Wondering what was the cost?
For losing someone
And feeling so lost
 
But they were brave
and because of that
You are saved
 
Because you willingly prayed
Day after day
“Lord, let me thoughts be your thoughts,
Let my ways be your ways”
 
Hoping and pleading
Some light would break free
 
and there it was
and here you are
 
Darling, you have come so far
 
Through the depressions
Through the second guesses
Through the sheer lack of faith
and need to control every second of every day
All along you prayed
 
Though your thoughts could never be His thoughts
and your ways could never be His ways
Though you be lost
You are still saved
 
For those prayers granted wisdom
Those prayers poured out grace upon grace
Those nights when all you could do is fall upon your face
He found you along the way
Picking you back up
Day by day
 
A stray
A fake
Too stubborn to see what was already written on the page
 
There she was
But here you are
Back
and better than you have ever been
Knowing now that you had to go through what was so dark
To now get to where you are
 
Fighting for the painting of your life
 
Abstract
Mosaic
 
A picturesque world with a few red stains
scratches that blend in
and just make sense
 
Because a warrior of Christ cannot get through this life
Without putting up a fight
While also opening her hands
Surrendering to The One
Who sacrificed His life…
 
“ For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, says the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts.”
Isaiah 55:8-9
