You'll remember the post where Matt Redman sang "You will not share Your glory with another."
Came across this while looking up the Pitch Your Tent info.
”The Living Word came near enough to view. Thus John wrote that people observed His glory. The term refers to the very strong honor of God as revealed in Jesus. Jesus is the unique, “one-of-a-kind” Son of the Heavenly Father. This unique Son is full of grace and truth. Though John does not use the word grace beyond 1:17, its meaning is demonstrated in the ministry of Jesus throughout the Gospel. The term truth is based on the Hebrew concept of faithfulness."
J.B.Phillips translates vs. 16 "Indeed, everyone of us has shared in His riches - there is a grace in our lives because of His grace."
In the elementary classroom where I used to volunteer there was a treausre chest. If the children earned enough stickers during the week, on Friday they were allowed to pick something out of the treasure chest to keep. If The Lord let you choose from His treasure chest, what would be dearest to your heart today? How about five years ago? Would there still be a special place for the one you chose five years ago?
Radical acceptance requires Total Surrender to the Holy Spirit.
The treasure I would pick today (other than Christ in my life) would be the ability to see each day for what it brings - to live each day to the fullest.
