Reading: Romans 8:29
“For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be
conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn
within a large family.”
In the beginning. Creation. Life—light—legacy.
Seeded—shaped—shared for eternity. Ongoing growth. Conformed
to the foundation laid for it. A unique world—still a mystery.
Broken by sabotage—lies—sin. Decay—disease—despair took
root. Still nature remains true to its order, again and again renewing its
life. Season by season. Prepared. Waiting for full recovery. Trusting its
Creator.
“This is the one who came by water and by blood, Jesus
Christ, not with the water only but with the water and the blood. And the
Spirit is there who testifies, for the Spirit is the truth.” 1 John 5:6
Jesus stepped into human darkness—soul despair—hopelessness.
Of His own accord. Predestined—prepared to battle for each life from the very
beginning. Offers His personal light, conformed to truth. For us to be made new
in His image. Not just a surface bath removing the mud stains of our lives but
His life’s blood poured out into our new birth.
Invitation to live in His family—His inheritance—His eternal
creation.
Lord, please keep us following the light of Your image that
in You we may become whole.
