Ephesians 1:20
he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms,
So picture the scene. The eternal throne room of the Almighty. The Son of God, our hero, our savior The Lord Jesus is seated at the right hand of The Father. Also on the scene is the accuser of the Brethren the enemy of our souls, the devil himself. The topic of conversation? You and your sinful dalliances as you wrestle with the flesh and the world down here. The enemy points to your failures accusingly and haughtily with relish. Yet Jesus resolutely confirms that you are one of His as He intercedes for you extending His covering over your shortcomings. This is what you can count on, the enemy accuses, the Son covers and the Father forgives. How then should we reflect this awesome dynamic that is continually played out in heaven? When our words are accusatory with who are we rhyming? When our words consider the best in others and focus on what is good about others and not their shortcomings, who are we imitating? As His children we ought to resemble the One we are named after...Christian.

I will be more conscious of my words today, seeking to be a vessel of grace for others. Today I choose to rhyme with Heaven and not hell.
