Simplicity

The heart of God is to have a people who reveal His heart to the world.  They are united by His love shed abroad in their hearts.  They have received mercy through the sacrificial love of God's Son.  They are now "in" Immanuel.  They work with zealous love from a place of rest and trust that cannot be shaken.  The things of this earth grow strangely dim.  They have seen the pattern of life lived by their Savior and they do not expect to be spared.  They have bowed to His choice of the Jew and Jerusalem and are grateful to be grafted into their vine accepted into their commonwealth.  "To those who are the called, beloved in God the Father, and kept for Jesus Christ: May mercy and peace and love be multiplied to you."  Jude 1,2
