You get hammered in life, but you get hammered into interesting shapes. Like most, I'd prefer my blessings to come without disguises! And then Life happened.......

Life's Hammerings
A son discovering the reality of God as his Father.
Words that do not become flesh in us remain "just words." They have no power to affect our lives. If someone says, "I love you," without any deep emotion, the words do more harm than good. But if these same words are spoken from the heart, they can create new life.
It is important that we keep in touch with the source of our words. Our great temptation is to become "pleasers," people who say the right words to please others but whose words have no roots in their interior lives. We have to keep making sure our words are rooted in our hearts. The best way to do that is in prayerful silence.
'Until the crisis-dis-illusionments come into our lives, the greater-higher purposes of the Father remain hidden.' (totally obscure to us)
No assembly, no church, no movement, no testimony, no fellowship, is justified in its existence from God's standpoint except insofar as Christ is expressed by it.
We who preach the gospel must not think of ourselves as public relations agents sent to establish good will between Christ and the world. We must not imagine ourselves commissioned to make Christ acceptable to big business, the press, the world of sports or modern education. We are not diplomats but prophets, and our message is not a compromise but an ultimatum.

mmmm good stuff! I love how you say that we are defined in and through His heart of love for us. That is where I'm diving in!
Thanks for stopping by with words of encouragment and revelation.
- grace and peace brother :)
Silent Wings,
The multi faceted expressions of His grace is a wonder that continues to take my breath away as He carefully and skilfully expresses Himself through so many.
As I read some of your heart stirrings from your blog, my heart burned from within, pointing me afresh and bidding me to come into this holy fire.
Blessings to you in discovering all Father has reserved (hidden) for you with your name on it!
Rich,
Beautiful. Simply beautiful.
Thanks for this!
Blessings,
~Amy :)
