[Good Morning All! Today, we have a guest contributor: Chris Kray. Chris is part of Communitas, and you might know him from his tasty lead guitar he adds to our Worship Teams from time to time. Chris approached Bob with this piece of writing; he wrote it while listening to Bob's last message on the Book of Revelation. Chris is a deep thinker, and I always appreciate conversations with him. Enjoy! JK]
My life is an arrow. My life is a weapon. My design is that of warfare. Who I am is your undoing. World, king of T'yre, lucifer, satan, you had better come at me. I am coming for your head. I am poised, aimed for your heart. Through repentance, compassion, love, and persecution is the shaft that holds up the head, the blade that is Christ's work. When you hurt my family, my friends, you sharpen my resolve. The arrow is drawn back even farther. When you come to claim what God has redeemed, you launch the arrow sending it deeper into your chest, cutting your flesh, slicing your corrupted tendons, puncturing your lung. My life will be your destruction at the hand of my Creator. His victory is your demise. Keep coming. Keep sharpening me, as I mourn, wail in agony because of my transgressions, my shortcomings. As The Lord fashions me as He sees fit, know that even though I am afraid, He will comfort me. He will meet my needs. You are undone. You have no hope. You are defeated.
Awesome! Inspiring! Thank you.
