Recalibrate

To correct a measuring process by checking or adjusting again in comparison with a standard. 


The love of God is greater far
Than tongue or pen can ever tell;
It goes beyond the highest star,
And reaches to the lowest hell.


Friends,
We've been forgiven much. Now what is called of us is but to love much. Sometimes we live like Javert rather than Jean Valjean. (Les Miserables). We are offered freedom, we are offered forgiveness..but rather than choosing to walk out that freedom we put ourselves in miserable chains of our own devices over and over again. And in the end, it will destroy every ounce of life- and it causes others suffering as well. If Jesus can capture your heart, and mine..and make us new- can He not also do that for the ones who don't know Him yet? 
Are you living in self made chains today? Lay them down at the foot of the cross..go..love. 
The only standard we are to have in our life is His love. 
Sometimes I'm not so good at loving. Sometimes I get selfish and tired. Often I fail, I'm hard hearted or insensitive...thank you Jesus that all it takes to recalibrate is to come into Your presence and focus on You.
