The Pilgrim Way
To be made whole,
We need brokenness,
To be made strong,
weakness.
To give life to others,
the cross
To be fruit-bearing branches
The Life of the Vine
To live life fully…
death to self
To be filled with Joy…
The spirit of mourning.
To be truly free…
to be His bond-servant.
To receive all things…
Count all things as loss.
To know the magnificence of Christ,
Love the truth, walk in the truth,
and surrender to the Truth.
To know His Fulness,
Love all, forsake all and lose all.
In giving we receive.
In losing we gain.
In dying we live.
In following we lead.
Blessed be the name of the Lord!

God, throughout scripture went out of his way to show us how opposite our ways and thinking are…just ask Gideon (and Abram, Moses, David, and…)
I’m leaving jonah out though.
Jonah reveals a different aspect of God, but a far too common trait of God’s people.
It takes a lifetime to learn His ways and much grace to forsake our own.
Hope all is well.

I’d like to share this post Brian, but there is no share button on it, or on any older posts. Any ideas how to make it so I can share? Blessings.
