A Tapestry of Love

Sometimes I wish I could get outside of my head for a little bit and take a break. Sometimes I confuse thoughts for prayers. Amidst all of the clutter that exits in my mind, a particular scripture has stuck with me for the past month or so. I shall share...

"I want you woven into a tapestry of love, in touch with everything there is to know of God. Then you will have minds confident and at rest, focused on Christ, God's great mystery. All the richest treasures of wisdom and knowledge are embedded in that mystery and nowhere else. And we've been shown the mystery! I'm telling you this because I don't want anyone leading you off on some wild-goose chase, after other so-called mysteries, or 'the Secret.'" Colossians 2:2.

I want to know what it really means to have a mind confident and at rest.

It seems that the war so often takes place in my mind. Insecurities, indulgences, lust, worry and a host of other evils start in the mind with a simple thought and before long, if not captured, can run a muck and cause an entangled entrampment of my thoughts and then infect my heart. If not vigilent in capturing them they can become rooted into actions, which must be painfully uprooted. I try to imagine yard work as some spiritual battle. I figure there probably weren't weeds in the garden of Eden, so as I attempt the prune my yard of the pesky beasts, I visualize myself fighting the evil forces of the unseen world. Silly, I know. Anyway, back the scripture...

1. Woven into a tapestry of love. 2. in touch with everything there is to know about God. Lets repeat the latter. in touch with everything there is to know about God. Everything??? Is that possible??? I wonder? Something to chew on for sure.

I was getting ready to say that I wish I had something exciting to report, but I had to take it back because I do have something exciting to report. Sunday, it was my absolute and utmost privledge to baptise two very good friends. Both with very different stories, but beautifully broken in their lives to discover The Lord in all the rubble. It was such a blessing and truly refreshing. God is so amazing how He can come and refresh my soul at such a needed time.

I suppose that is all for now...

Grace and Peace
