February 4 - Three Gifts Found when Stooping



1)  When we stoop to admit our need for God...
He gives forgiveness that wipes away all guilt.
All kinds of guilt.
And this white robe of His righteousness
is given to us.

Imagine that.

What a beautiful thing.







2) She stoops down and sees that God works best
in hearts that embrace humility.
For God resists the proud,
but gives grace to the humble.

She may have lost a son
at the bottom of that waterfall...
but she knows He knows
best of all
that he belonged Home.
His work on earth was done.










3) Does God require us to stoop
so He can look down upon us
with haughty eyes.
No. Indeed,
that is Lucifer's way.

Jesus, however,
stooped all the way out of Heaven and Home... 
and slipped into a feeding trough.
The Bread of Life did this, for you and me.

He then lived a 30-year life span
that climaxed with the ultimate stooping...
receiving lashes and torture untold...
to ensure we would once again be His.


All that humility and power 
blended into one
God-Man Messiah.

Come, stoop down and see....
