Dreams Fulfilled

Dreams do come true! A real treasure was hidden away and abused by ugly, mean-spirited, selfish, soul-empty haters. Cindy always got the leftover scraps of any attention. She only had rags to wear and dirty jobs to bear. She was a mistreated slave whose worth was rendered zero. But then, Cindy was humble. She did not dare demand better treatment. She did not feel entitled but was compelled by the invitation to go to the palace as a poor beggar with hopes not to be disappointed. “Every valley shall be filled in, every mountain and hill made low. The crooked roads shall become straight, the rough ways smooth.” Luke 3:5

Wearing a patchwork garment that the poor mice assembled, when the Prince asked Cindy to dance, suddenly, she was miraculously transformed. In His arms, she sparkled with His righteousness. All the pain of her hard past quickly departed. She danced with the Savior, gleaming with thanksgiving. This is the beauty of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, our Prince of Peace, the Lover of our souls, our Savior, Lord of lords, Jesus, our King — asks all of us to join Him in a divine, eternal dance.

A doctor named Luke wrote down for all to come to know the King in the palace. The Prince on the throne extends His love, provision, healing, and mercy sceptor towards all mankind. Out of His very heart is where all compassion flows from. All the forgotten, prisoners of sun, brokenhearted, rejects of society, prostitutes, thieves, have-nots, and hasbeens. The desperate, poor, widows, and orphans are given the opportunity to be forgiven, adopted as a child of God, and receive an inheritance that is eternal life in Him.

Luke 10 “After this the Lord Jesus appointed 72 others and sent them two by two ahead of Him to every town and place where He was about to go. Jesus told them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the WORKERS are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out WORKERS into His harvest field. Go! I am sending you out like lambs among wolves. “When you enter a house, first say, ‘Peace to this house.’ If someone who promotes peace is there, your peace will rest on them; if not, it will return to you. Stay there, eating and drinking whatever they give you, for the WORKER deserves his wages. Do NOT move around from house to house. When you enter a town and are WELCOMED, eat what is offered to you. HEAL the SICK who are there and TELL them, ‘The KINGDOM of GOD has come near to you.’ But when you enter a town and are NOT welcomed, go into its streets and say, ‘Even the dust of your town WE WIPE from our FEET as a WARNING to you. Yet BE SURE and certain of this: The kingdom of God has come near.’ I tell you, it will be more bearable on that day for Sodom than for that town.” We are all represented in the number of the 72, but it is our choice to be counted among them. Worthy is our Lord, and by faith, we are His beloved. Baptism

“Produce fruit in KEEPING with REPENTANCE. And do NOT begin to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I tell you that out of these STONES God can RAISE UP CHILDREN. The ax is already at the ROOT of the trees, and every tree that does NOT PRODUCE GOOD FRUIT will be cut down and thrown into the fire.” Even tax collectors came to be baptized. John, the wild man said, “I baptize you with water. But One who is MORE POWERFUL than I will come, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. HE will baptize you with the HOLY SPIRIT and FIRE.” Trust God’s Word.
