The source....

The other day I spoke of looking in the mirror 
and seeing Christ....    
and this morning I was reminded of  
the 'tension'...  
my 'feet of clay'....    

That greatness has not found its
source in Me 
but only in the One who lives in me    

I am a son - Yes...
- Only on the basis of God's love
and
- Only on the Basis of Jesus my sacrifice...

David
- Given the Kingship by God
- Made great
and
when He 'became great'
he fell.

Ps 51 was the letter he 'wrote to God'
after he was 'found out'...
after he raped his neighbour's wife
and and then had him murdered....

All the king's men
and all the king's horses
couldn't put David to right with God again..... :(

He writes 'Only a broken spirit
and contrite heart
is what God values' ref vs 17

and this is how I must live
that Christ is in Me....
He is my source
For ALL good things.

Thank You Lord Jesus
O Thank You.
for Your Rich overflowing
Grace and
Mercy.

Thank You.
