In tears I say this, I’ve been to the mountain, and fearfully, I’ve taken some ground
there. And the Son of Man has risen from the dead, and I will tell you what I’ve
seen there.
For five years I’ve seen a homeless man receive the covering
of God, and provision for his sorry state.
And His Father is my Father and He is good to His own. He
has surely rendered goodness out of this dry land and given it to His child.
And I am one of those. And so is this man who God sees and loves and has loved
in a way that I recognize. We have talked about it together, and together we
have seen and shared in the protection and Love of the Lion of righteousness
who guards over us with a vengeance and with vigilant eyes to do us good.
There is no man or demon who will stand against Him and His fiery
goodness because He is our rescuer and redeemer. He truly has a place in the world for the
outcast. Because there is no outcast in
God. The whole world doesn’t know what to do with them, and I know that very
well, but God has good and kind intentions for their tender lives. He is a
consuming fire that will not be quenched until He has rendered goodness to those
He loves. It’s a fearful thing to be close to that fire. In the words of the
great Jess Ray, “I was a fool to think your fire would only warm me.” It will
consume you and your selfish heart will gratefully melt away as you become a
vessel for His ministry.
These are only some of the things I’ve seen on the mountain of
God. And it’s merciful to me to see them in the eternal sense. Although at the
same time awesome to me.
