There is a kitty at the feline foster home called Tux. As his name indicates, his slick coat looks like a tuxedo. Tux is about a year old and is FeLV positive. This is a disease that is highly contagious to other cats. Because of this he has spent his entire life in a cage. Diseased and hopeless the outlook for him is very dim.
Until yesterday. A set of gentle hands unlocked the door to his prison and lifted him to a heart bursting with compassion, bursting with love. Diseased and hopeless he was rescued. This morning he woke up in a place of warmth, cuddles, and love. His body has been stroked and he has played with his new family. A family like him who are also diseased, but not hopeless. He now grooms in a window sill and his purrs harmonize with the other felines like him in his new home.
Why is this a big deal in my little world? Because this is exactly what Christ has done for me. He has rescued and adopted me. His gentle hands unlocked the door to my prison and lifted me to his heart. Diseased and hopeless I AM RESCUED. Each morning I wake up knowing that whatever the day holds He will never leave me, nor forsake me. I spend time with my new family as our songs harmonize and we bask in His warm love.
