Some members in particular are given, a joint that supplies, to breathe life into our corner of the body, and invigorate our group. These folks carry not a man’s energy, which can intimidate, but a quickening that removes intimidation. These don’t ask us to perform or do things, they instead perform the things concerning us. They effortlessly serve us, sometimes unknowingly.
These inspirers spread grace, the God quality, through their weakened humanity. They not only know Christ but Christ interacts with us through them. They are full of grace and truth.
These have discovered themselves as the unworthy delight of their King, and found Him whom their soul loves. These virtue spreaders have wrestled oft with their unworthiness so cleaving to grace and redemption — In humility finding love and forgiveness, to where the King greatly desires their beauty. They have washed their hands in innocence, had their feet washed a lot.
This one for us was Merilee Ford, She brought us not goodness but God. Not judgment but love, not hurry but rest, not defeat but hope, not hell but heaven.
She was a flower, she a fragrance and a perfume. She was a joy bringer, peace maker. We will greatly miss her, our gift from God.
What a wonderful tribute.
