~ Joy in learning Your heart a little better

And finally....to something NEW, this version says it in a way I had never read it before.
the Message said:
Romans 9
God Is Calling His People

1-5 At the same time, you need to know that I carry with me at all times a huge sorrow. —Christ and the Holy Spirit are my witnesses. It's the Israelites...If there were any way I could be cursed by the Messiah so they could be blessed by him, I'd do it in a minute. They're my family. I grew up with them. They had everything going for them—family, glory, covenants, revelation, worship, promises, to say nothing of being the race that produced the Messiah, the Christ, who is God over everything, always. Oh, yes!
6-9Don't suppose for a moment, though, that God's Word has malfunctioned in some way or other. The problem goes back a long way. From the outset, not all Israelites of the flesh were Israelites of the spirit. It wasn't Abraham's sperm that gave identity here, but God's promise. Remember how it was put: "Your family will be defined by Isaac"? That means that Israelite identity was never racially determined by sexual transmission, but it was God-determined by promise. Remember that promise, "When I come back next year at this time, Sarah will have a son"?

I thought of the great ache I had for Teknon, in his absence, separated from our family.... the:' It's an enormous pain deep within me, and I'm never free of it. I'm not exaggerating...' (from verse 2). And, I realize that in Teknon's absence from me, You have shaped my heart to know Your sorrow a little better. Thank You, Jesus. The better I know You, the better I understand Your Heart for me and the others I walk this journey's road with.

Bless Your aching heart with some small joy that I now know You a little better, for Your glory. amen
