December 20th

 "Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire; and anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire." Revelation 20:14-15

take a moment and

open a book, any book,

look at the page before

your eyes (any page, not

any special one), and what

do you see?

words 

that's it, simply words.

so maybe, just maybe,

in this book of life we

worry so much about, 

it's not our names written

on all those pages, but words.

and not just any words,

but one,

written over and over and over

so many times we lose count.

that one Word

the Word which was at the beginning,

the Word which called everything

including us into life

that Word which became flesh

that Word which told death and hell

to throw wide its doors so it could 

come out and remind us that 

the most important word 

in God's vocabulary is simply

grace
