Grace for your spirit. July 30, 2012

Grace for your spirit
Elders are gone from the gate, young men from their music. The joy of our hearts have ceased; Our dancing has been turned into mourning. Lamentations 5:14-15

A woman once had a singing bird named Chirpie. One day while cleaning the cage, she accidentally sucked Chirpie into the vacuum hose. Quickly she rescued him, cleaned him, and put him back in the cage. Chirpie lived, but he didn't sing much anymore. The people of Jerusalem had been sucked through much persecution, They had lost their music, their joy, their dancing, and their happiness. Many Christians today are like them and Chirpie. Their Christian walk has not been the same since they were sucked through the hose of life. Barely alive, they have little to sing about. May we shake off our past, and let Christ restore our spirit and the joy of our hearts before it is too late.
