I find myself constantly jotting notes on index cards and scraps of paper. Sometimes they sit in my Bible for weeks and I come back to them to meditate on my original interest or expand my thinking as the Holy Spirit reveals more to me about why He drew me to these words. Today I'd like to share some one liners and questions that have found their way onto my radar screen. Perhaps the Holy Spirit will use them to touch you in some way or draw out your thinking to unveil something in your heart. So often I find myself explaining why I loved a scripture or thought, hoping it will minister life to someone. I am impressed today that the Holy Spirit was sent to do this in and for us. I invite you to allow Him to do what He does best--reveal Christ's finished work and God's love to each of us when we allow Him access. I would love to have your feedback on which, if any, of these touched you in some way. My email is robin.lys@hotmail.com .


"Either sin is with you, lying on your shoulders, or it is lying on Christ, the Lamb of God, 'Now if it is lying on your back; you are lost; but if it is resting on Christ, you are free, and you will be saved. Now choose what you want."

"Sin is not cancelled by lawful living."
(Both of these are from Martin Luther)

"He found me on my walk of shame."

"No one tells you that the shields you carry to keep you safe, they become the steel cages that keep you alone."

"Truth--I thought an open door made it too easy for someone to shoot an arrow through my hard and quaking heart."

"Why do I allow the past to rob me of the present possibility?"

"Why don't I se the price of being safe is the cost of being solitary?"

"Why haven't I seen that distrust can destroy a life?"

"Why do I have trouble being patient with friendship... listening long?"

"Do people find themselves waiting to hear my flight?"

"The dark's never bothered me much.
Its women who have scared me.
Women can haunt with shadows of their own."

"No one wants anything of anyone but to be honest and real and trust enough to take off the mask."

"In a refuge of grace, who has anything to prove or protect... anything to hide."

"In the space of grace--who needs to live for something when they can live with someone."

"When we breathe in grace, we finally believe we can be real--and be changed into the realest versions of Holy Grace Himself."

"If you don't know what He looks like, then you cannot do the one thing He has called you to do: LOVE"

"Falling away is when you walk out on the only thing that can set you free."

And finally I'd like to add this song... Embracing Accusations by Shane and Shane...
