Greetings
Dear Reader,
It seems it
becomes easy to adopt hardness and bitterness in our world. In a world that seems to be draining of
compassion I am called to be compassionate.
One must work to keep a tender spirit.
One must not let the pains of life take away from this.
Keeping a
tender spirit leads me to be able to show love and kindness to others. It keeps me aware of the needs of those
around me. Recently in a moment of
tender kindness my eldest Son reminded me that something I was doing needed to
be done for my benefit as well as the benefit of others. It gave me courage to
do the things I needed to do with a tender spirit.
My nature is
to hide this part of me. Having a tender
spirit means we can be hurt and no one wishes to be hurt. The world is a dangerous place and it will
hurt me for being tender. Christ
promises that he will be there for me.
He never promises I will not get hurt but that he will be there for
me. I pray that the world does not rob
my Children of their tenderness.
What can be done for an old heart like mine?
Soften it up with oil and wine.
The oil is You in Your Spirit or love.
Please wash me anew in the wine of your
blood. – Keith Green
Wishing you
joy in the journey,

Mat 13:52 So
Jesus said to them, "That is why every writer who has become a disciple of
Christ’s rule of the universe is like a home owner. He liberally hands out new
and old things from his great treasure store."
