CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

“If we consider the unblushing promises of reward and the staggering nature of the rewards promised in the Gospels, it would seem that our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak.  We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea.  We are far too easily pleased.”

CS Lewis – “The Weight Of Glory”
MOLESKIN:

Don’t take Christ’s sacrifice for granted.  Accept the gift and take the holiday at the sea!

Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.  Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gently and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.  For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.  Matthew 11: 28-30

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM: 

Mark 2:1-5 — When Jesus returned to Capernaum several days later, the news spread quickly that he was back home. Soon the house where he was staying was so packed with visitors that there was no more room, even outside the door. While he was preaching God’s word to them, four men arrived carrying a paralyzed man on a mat. They couldn’t bring him to Jesus because of the crowd, so they dug a hole through the roof above his head. Then they lowered the man on his mat, right down in front of Jesus. Seeing their faith, Jesus said to the paralyzed man, “My child, your sins are forgiven.”

Who can you count on to carry your mat? Are you surrounding yourself with the kind of people you can count on, when the chips are down, when the odds are not in your favor, to put you on their shoulders and carry you to Jesus.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
You should take some time and study Jonathan Edward’s Resolutions.  There are some 75 of them and he wrote them over the span of his life.  You can actually google it and find them.  Consider them and then come up with your own.  Resolutions are “resolved” meaning the matter is settled – not “I hope to achieve this.”  It’s done.  I wrote down one this week: “RESOLVED.  I will no longer speak loudly or harshly with my children.” What would you write?  Write it down and look them over each day as a reminder.
