The Red Carpet (12-30-09)

Red carpets are used to usher in guests of honor. This type could never be more true than for the Sons of God. One thing is clear about God's love is that it is stained with the shedding of crimson blood. Anyone who has had the privilege to be an invited guest has walked upon this precious treasure of a carpet satiated by an immeasurable love.

Though the course of this gauntlet called Dorean has been precarious my feet have ever been guided by this honor roll laid before me. Direction was enhanced from the certainty of His word to the Absolute of His love. It was impossible for me to get lost in this trial.

As a father one could only hope to prepare their children for life with such a confidence and understanding of love. It is true perfect love cast out fear. No matter the dangers feet standing upon such perfect love cannot falter or become concerned. the witness of this love forever settles that it is superior to any threat and soothes by its existence.

Dorean began for me by a promise. A promise larger than my life. I had to stretch and grow so I launched off with a 17 day fast. Jail was the next major change so I launched off with a 40 day fast. The trial was next so I constantly fasted. A 25 year sentence was the next stage so I fasted 21 days. Now as I write this the path of this carpet makes it clear that what all this expansion has been leading up to is right before me. The man called to exit this trial is a greater man than the one who entered. I do not boast of my fasting but since God chose to make my life public I choose to use it publicly. This current fast which will be completed by this post was to expand my intimacy and to allow myself to walk naked as it were through the transition made obvious by this course of love. God's plans definitely want me to be made a treasure of His love to all of you. I see a red carpet being laid out for all of you and to this I want to be a party.
