Jesus Christ is a fulcrum, and with His lever of love, He lifts me to the other side of these carnal worldly appearances to the truth which sets me free.

And when I reside in the darkness of the carnal world of appearances, He is my flashlight, ever available, ever ready. He is my hammer, always pounding out the wrinkles in my way of thinking; a saw to sever all unwanted and burdensome attachments I may have to this material world, a level to help establish perfect balance between where I think I am and where I really am so, with the help of the oil of His grace, no matter what the circumstances, I slide quickly into the recognition of where I really am (in His arms), and what I really am, (a child of the living God).

Jesus, you are the carpenter, totally free from any fallacy, the locksmith who has the key, the cross between the carnal world I perceive and God's world which He created and loves. My tool is here. The only one I really need is You, dear Lord.
