Reconciled


I understand the word “reconciled”.  I’ve had relationships that have been reconciled and a few that were never reconciled.

The simple meaning of this word is – joined – resolved – squared.

I’ve dabbled in some simple carpentry projects.  I still have a bookcase I made in shop class in the ninth grade.  It still stands.  The joints are still joined – they are reconciled.

A Christmas phrase jumped on me this morning in my writing time. 

God and sinner reconciled

I suppose the short meaning of this is for our need to be squared with God.  To be joined and have our connection resolved. 

That is how I want to live.  I want to be reconciled with God.

Merry Christmas!
