Your Rescue.

"Tell me, lest I forget. Who I am to You, that I belong to You..." -Jason Gray

In moments of crisis, we, as humans, are prone to tunnel vision. As in, "Is there a light up there, at the end of the tunnel? Somewhere?!" We may momentarily forget all that is behind us, including past victories of previous battles fought and won. We may find difficulty in wrapping our hearts around a hope which is strong enough to bravely face an unknown or uncertain future. And in that moment, we can accurately perceive. Humility is the great equalizer. The ground is level at the foot of the Cross. We are all the same, in need of Love's saving grace. We are all in need of the Source of Love, Himself. There's no way around this. Here, the heart utters its wisest prayer, which becomes the simplest of them all. "Help." 

Hallelujah. For therein lies, "Your Rescue." 

For our rescue is not the "HOW," but most definitely the "WHO." He, who is the only One able. And since He died for us and lives again, who then are "we" to Him?

Today, may we reflect upon "Who" it is that is our rescue. And who are "we" to "Him." There's grace for this. Grace to progressively know Him, as even we ourselves are already fully known by Him. There's grace to FALL IN LOVE more and more, over and over again!

So thank God for this trial, which brings you even closer to Him!
 ...But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory... -2 Corinthians 3:18

Him who supplies rescue, is also the Initiator. Him who supplies rescue, is also the Helper. Him who supplies rescue, is also the KEEPER. Amen.

As we gaze upon Him, the veils of confusion, clouding our vision, are rent in two. "Hold me, Jesus, I'm shaking like a leaf."

I will lift up my eyes to the mountains;
From where shall my help come?
My help comes from the LORD,
Who made heaven and earth.
He will not allow your foot to slip;
He who keeps you will not slumber. Psalms 121:1-3



Then you shall call, and the LORD will answer;
      You shall cry, and He will say, ‘Here I am.’  Isaiah 58:9 



...He who overcomes will thus be clothed in white garments; and I will not erase his name from the book of life, and I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches...’ Rev. 3
...I am coming quickly; hold fast what you have, so that no one will take your crown. He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he will not go out from it anymore; and I will write on him thename of My God, and the name of the city of My God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God, and My new name. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches...’ Rev. 3


I AM THE ONE HE LOVES. 
Lest I forget.
