To follow a gentle master.

MILD HE LAYS HIS GLORY BY
BORN THAT MAN NO MORE MAY DIE

-Charles Wesley


I love these words...I love these words.  Jesus laid his glory by, born into a stable to travelling parents...born so we can have eternal life.  I was thinking about what this means to me today, how do I  lay aside the glories in my life so that men do not die, not vaguely in theory, but how do I lay aside my life so others can know about the love, hope and eternal life Jesus was born, died and rose again to bring. 

No sooner than I was thinking about these things God led me to watch a short video about a couple here in my city who are postioning themselves in an anti-trafficking and anti-slavery movement.  They are charismatic leaders who are gathering  a teams of people around them, to address this issue here in our city and beyond.  I'm not sure how I am gonna connect with them or this whole issue that God introduced me and my husband to whilst we were in the South Pacific and Asia. 

What is clear to me is that it cannot be theoretical thing, a wish and desire or a dream but hands on practical, serving the least, the mistreated and voiceless.  Lord Jesus help me.
