Dignity

Dignity does not float down from heaven...It is a reward reserved for those who labor with diligence.-Bill Hybels


I don't think Dylan would agree..I know I don't.









Dignity is the birthright of every human being. Many have forgotten and have lost touch with the knowledge of their worth. When the lies of the adversary are believed and the restraint of knowing that 'we are better than that' has been lost many people are led to empty troughs of despair, and an experience of wasted lives, sickened bodies, shattered minds and lost souls....but if they could only look upon the shining face of the Anointed One and realize that they are all made of the same stuff as Jesus himself...they would know that they have Dignity and it is the gift of God not of works for no man can boast. ...It is NOT a reward reserved only for those who labor with diligence.

All men can rejoice in the fact of their God-likeness.......





















even Joshua (aka Destroyer of Worlds
and
the Saviour of his people )

Joshua has dignity while his diapers are being changed, his spills being cleaned up, his cries being attended to and his frustrated 'hitting out' is being warded off ...........because he too is of the kingdom of God.

And if you don't agree
then you don't know 'Jack', Joshua or Jesus .
