[Discoveries] 12-03-08 The way of love -- John 1:14

[Inspiration in Your Inbox]

/*For those struggling financially ...*/
/*Money means power. Most of us don't truly understand that (I'm 
guessing) until we have no money. When God gives us a tour of how the 
powerless experience life, note well what that experience is like. When 
power (money) is restored to us, we will be, I think, much more wise in 
how use the power (money) God has given us.*/

/*The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. -- John 1:14*/

The way of love is to enter the world of the person you wish to love.

In the summer of 2002 I interviewed Tamara White who has a ministry to 
gangs, street people and "throw-aways" in Denver, Colorado. I have 
enormous respect for Tamara, because, at great risk to herself, she goes 
where the people are, where the need is, and there she makes her 
dwelling. She has been stalked. She has been shot at with Uzi submachine 
guns. Tamara has done things that, frankly, I would be scared to do. She 
has lived in places I wouldn't want my daughters to even visit. But she 
cares, so she goes, and she makes a difference.

The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. What a risk taker 
God is! How courageous He is to humble Himself. To become one of us. To 
get lost in the mass of insignificant humanity. To mingle with us on our 
own turf.

God pioneered the way of love. He entered the world of the ones He 
wanted to love. Now we know that we matter to Him.

What happens when you partner with Dwight Clough Ministries? Victims of 
violent crimes and survivors of abuse are finding peace, wholeness, the 
power to forgive and the strength to set boundaries. Those ensnared by 
addictions are finding freedom. Marriages are being restored. Families 
are strengthened. Christian brothers and sisters in restricted lands who 
face persecution are finding strength and encouragement. Young believers 
are learning how to walk with the Lord, and people are coming into the 
faith for the first time. None of this happens as a result of one 
person's efforts, but rather this is God's work as He blesses the 
sacrifice of many people including yourself. We partner with you, with 
other ministries, and, most significantly, with the Lord. That's how the 
supernatural happens.
