INFINITE SPACE, INFINITE GOD - Day 6

Day 6 Friday



"Little Madeline", by Simon Morden, is a story, except for a few references of a more modern technology and that she was some kind of mutant life form, could be about any city in the world, small or large. As Jesus told His disciples, “The poor you have with you always.” It's amazing that this story and Good Friday show up at the same time, for this is about choices. Jesus could have chosen the easy way, but that would have meant there would be no salvation. Little Madeline could have taken the "easy" way, but would have found herself in bondage to the poverty around her. Richness is not, nor ever has properly been defined by what a person owns or possess. It is defined by how much they give away. In this sense Little Madeline was rich beyond those she lived with. She had something the rich themselves could not buy with all their wealth. She followed the example of Christ. On this Good Friday may we all purpose in our hearts to become poor in spirit that we may become rich in grace.

ABOUT THE BOOK:

Tangerine is the third book in the Shades of Style Novels.

Fans of Pink and Jade will eat up Tangerine, the third book in the cutting-edge Shades of Style series. Jean Guerra, a designer at Garments of Praise design firm, doesn't like surprises. These days though, the unexpected meets her everywhere. Since Jean's return to the church a year ago, her God-encounters occur with increasing frequency, along with thoughts of her husband-the one she vowed to divorce and gave up on long ago. The one nobody at work knows about, not even her best friend, Lily, or her boss, Chenille. But when the designer assigned to work with Jean on a line of men's suits shows up, her heart flips. It's her husband, Nigel Salvador. Jean is finally rendered speechless. Can her bruised heart become whole enough to love again? Or will she remain in the trenches of loneliness forever?
