Hebrews 2:9
What we do see is Jesus, who was given a position “a little lower than the angels”; and because he suffered death for us, he is now “crowned with glory and honor.” Yes, by God’s grace, Jesus tasted death for everyone. (NLT)
“…fellows of Alcoholics Anonymous. Among them you will make lifelong friends. You will be bound to them with new and wonderful ties, for you will escape disaster together and you will commence shoulder to shoulder your common journey. Then you will know what it means to give of yourself that others may survive and rediscover life. You will learn the full meaning of ‘Love thy neighbor as thyself.’” (Alcoholics Anonymous, pages 152-153)
Others walk first,
before, some still walking
others moved on,
crowned with glory,
honor.
Some walk with us,
share the pain,
speak some truth
just what we need here,
now.
Others follow where we lead
even when we feel we’re bumbling,
stumbling, needing leading,
but we lead
hopefully in the right
direction.
Thanks, God, for the folks around,
for choosing the right ones
to lead us, to walk with us,
and to teach us with our own
words when they seek our
help.
