I’m gonna say a little something about living well. And I don’t mean living well. Yeah, I guess I could use a little clearing up. Because it sounds like I contradict myself within just a few words. But it’ll make sense in just a second.
I’m talking about living well, the noun.
There. All clear? Good, let’s move on.
Just kidding. But I am gonna move on. Do the clearing up part.
The fast and easy solution to this non-dilemma is this: Jesus is the noun, the living well.
And I can tell you, with absolute certainty, no one on this planet is living well without Him. In fact, no matter who you are, you only exist because of Him. Yeah, the whole universe holds together because of Him. And without him, nothing makes sense, and seemingly intelligent people will go to great lengths to make up stuff about how we got here. Stuff that, to anyone who seeks and desires real truth, is childlike silliness at best. And despicable at worst.
I don’t know about you personally, of course, but I know I’m grateful and blessed to have learned the truth many many years ago. That didn’t make my life easy breezy. But it DID give me full-time hope and optimism.
That hope and optimism is available to anyone who would drink it in from the living well, Jesus. And that’s why, about 26 years ago, I wrote a collection of songs called Amen (which is another word used to represent Jesus). And in one of those songs I also called Him…
The One True Way To Peace
Judge me; I need to be judged.
Correct me; whenever I’m wrong.
Save me from thinking my thoughts.
I’ve lived in them way too long.
Show me what I need to see.
Tell me what I have to hear.
Give me a voice of wisdom.
Thank You for taking my fear.
And I have to trust that my God is just.
And I feel my boldness increase.
I’m a dissident, and I’m an instrument
For the one true Way to peace.
Search me for the deeper things.
Fill me from Your living well.
Free me from the ways of man.
Take me off the path to Hell.
Listen to my fervent prayer.
Bless me so that I can bless.
Change me with Your mighty Word.
Spare me with Your tenderness. Chorus
Make me to always understand,
I’m only mighty in Your mighty Hand. inst…Chorus to end
