Truth Garage

Thank you, Jesus! Thank you, Father, for your Holy Spirit and the witness and testimony of your Son. In it you let me see his humanity as he was tired from a journey. Then he gave an example of how to mirror you. Even though he was tired from a journey, he denied himself comfort, offering of Himself Living Water to one whom others saw as dirty and unworthy, especially when tired. I am humbled again, and my cynicism gives way to The Truth, Grace and Love. I and am forever Grateful for your Truth changing me and molding me to mirror Your Son and Multiply the Kingdom to your Glory! HALLELUJAH, Amen.

I was released from Jail, Sept. 23, 2012, after a four and a half month sit for battery. Feeling about as dirty as one would. My mom, brother and I were always treated as the stray dogs everywhere we went. Useful for a time but kicked down the road as a nuisance as soon as we were not. Mom found her way up here, a Good Bible Believing Church and was Home! A lady took to my mom quick and showed her what had been missing, his Reflection and what that looks like. Her Family took my mom into their fold and reflected the Love of Christ! They had moved away for many years and experienced trails that most would find devastating and challenge one’s trust in God. The day after my release from jail, she picked me up from the hotel and spent the day helping me get squared away. She convinced me to reach out to my dad for help, another of my many learned self-defeating behaviors is to never ask for help, which was successful. She helped me go find and secure an apartment which I moved into Oct.16, 2012 and lived there for 11 years. Every month she would show up and take me shopping ensuring my children and I had, not just the essentials, but some good stuff too (which my daughters enjoyed thoroughly)! She would hand me cash and say “a man should always have a little cash in his pocket” knowing good and well I was headed for smokes and beer. They Loved on and Prayed over me and my house without ceasing, as she promised my mom before she went to sleep. Her husband, my friend, is the one whom invited me to the men’s group Feb., 21′. I was talking with them the other day and she made a comment about not expecting to be where they currently are and I took that as meaning the Blessing has been more than expected! Blessing is not “all my stuff”. Blessing, is he provides, I want for nothing, and the Overflow is so great I can’t help but pour it out on others. “So I will turn toward you and make you Fruitful and Multiply you, and I will confirm my Covenant with You. You will eat the old supply and clear out the old because of the New”! What I receive when I read that scripture from Leviticus 26;9 is; He turned toward me, having relationship, making me “Fruitful” to be able to “Multiply” to the Glory of his Kingdom as confirmed by the Covenant between Him and Christ, Fulfilling all things, should I choose to Believe and Receive Jesus. Once I surrender and Trust in Him alone, he guides me to Blessing as I mirror him and serve others rather than myself. He keeps piling it on, so to speak. I’m not done eating what I have and He’s already giving me more! What he showed me in the garage. These friends of His He sent to my mom and her house were just that “His FRIENDS”! They trust in him even when the trial is so great many would have kicked him down the road, they Trusted their FRIEND. Remember the devastating trials they suffered. I am not even aware of when exactly they came back into to town, but they showed up just when I was in need for sure. They were still trying to recover from their own hard season (wearied from travel) and set themselves aside to offer me, a person most wouldn’t and haven’t given the time of day to, Living Water. I can clearly see how Jesus showed us The Way. Following his example, they were able to Mirror the Image of their Creator and Freind, giving me the example before ever having read of Jesus’ example! And the Kingdom is expanding to the Glory of God as I continue the example and Mirror my Savior to and for others MULTIPLYING the Kingdom!! Father, I speak Grace and Truth over these readers that they accept and receive your beautiful instruction, correction and comfort as they come to mirror your Son in Jesus Name! Amen.
