My sacred family members, has any of you wandered from the truth?
Has anyone helped you find the way back?
If so, then let them know, the one who helps someone return from broken ways has rescued their soul from death and hidden the many paths that lead to broken ways. 
Aho! May it be so!
James (He leads the Way to the Scattered Tribes) 5:19-20 FNVNT 
This last piece of James letter doesn't read like it's the end, but it's all we have, and the FNVNT translators it seems needed to add their own concluding "Amen", "Aho!  May it be so".
And their "Aho!  May it be so" also applies to the sacred work that James leaves us with, because he is just like us and prone to wandering away from the Truth.
We do that with some of our choices, we do it with our thinking, and we do it when the deepest parts of us believes the Lies. 
Lies that the world tries to sneak in about our worth, lies that the actions of others try to tell us, lies that have been spoken to us and over us.
It's the Truth that sets us free Beloved.
The Truth of who Jesus is, that He has conquered all that stands between us and God, that reconnection is possible, that healing is possible, that love wins.
The Truth that as difficult it may be to believe, we are the objects of our God's love. 
We are Beloved.
And when we wander off, we need one another to bring us back to the Truth.
"Aho!  May it be so"

Joseph replied..."Dont you see, you planned evil against me but God used those same plans for my good, as you see all around you right now - life for many people..." Genesis 50:19-20 MSG The view from the drone. The different perspective. "God has been at work in my life despite, in fact within the hatred that you had towards me. Even though I couldn't always see it, I kept trusting Him, even when He was silent, when all hope seemed lost... God was at work... Can you see that now?" #faith #faithinthedark

Genesis 15.8-18.ESV But he said O Lord God , how am I to know that I shall possess it? ...When the sun had gone down and it was dark, behold, a smoking fire pot and a flaming torch passed between these pieces. On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram... March 15 was the last day we looked at Abram's story...he was questioning God and this is God's response...sacrifices and smoke and fire and a covenant...a promise... Isn't that what we crave for sometimes? God, if only you'd just show me smoke & fire, a burning bush a sign, miracle, healing...then all my questions would disappear...all my doubts would be gone... 2moro we'll see Abram's response but I think God values our faith in spite of our questions and doubts. That we choose Him anyway #faith

Psalm 42.1-11.nlt As the deer longs for streams of water, so I long for you, O God... I thirst for God, the living God. When can I go and stand before him? O God my rock l cry, Why have you forgotten me? Why must I wander around in grief, oppressed by my enemies? Their taunts break my bones. They scoff, Where is this God of yours? Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again - my Savior and my God! That song "as the deer pants for the water..." seems almost nice, but it's not...it's part of a cry of anguish, of hurt, of despair...of God not giving an answer...yet...through all that...again and again he says I'll put my hope in God! #choose #hope #hopeunshaken
