Two Words Like No Other...

Watching something can often rock us emotionally

rather than devotionally,

but I am praying as I watch The Chosen series,

it renews humble awe, love and devotion to Jesus who loves us so!!

Jesus calls Peter/us-The Chosen

(imagine if, at the cry for help from fisher(s of) men,

 we would run to their aid like Zebedee and the other two

 at 6:29-6:30)

Two words test and prove

 every feeling, desire, motive and love...

(pondering Peter today...as well as all true disciples)

Two words like no other

Alters consequence

Test’s devotion’s ardor

With obedience

Transcends mortal merit

Rejects worldliness

Guided by the Spirit

Rather than the flesh

Blessing beyond measure

Love’s humility

With a promised treasure

Faith cannot yet see

As, with motive fervent

It counts all but loss

Save to be a servant

Carrying a cross

To give Him the glory

He who with His blood

Wrote redemption's story

 Jesus, Son of God

Two words, kind and tender

Probes utter need where

 Only full surrender

Can His calling bear

…two words like no other

Charge eternity

Pray, how will we answer

Two words;

Follow Me

Matt.16:24-26

Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone desires to come after Me,

let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.

25 For whoever desires to save his life will lose it,

but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.

26 For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world,

and loses his own soul?

Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?
