stirrings

Lots of different messages seem to be stirring... mixing with emotions that don't necessarily match...

Signs of hope... saving me from stumbling over the precipice of discouragement...

Desire to surrender... dampened by a heart that wants to avoid crucifixion...

Longing for loved ones to see the Light... but reluctant to enter the dark that might require...

A reminder that in Christ... I have no rights... a follower abandons all... to walk His Way...

Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus:

Who, being in very nature God,

did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,

but made himself nothing,

taking the very nature of a servant,

being made in human likeness.

And being found in appearance as a man,

he humbled himself

and became obedient to death ---

even death on a cross!

Philippians 2:5-8

He did all... not for what He could have here... but for the joy set before Him... that which is to come!

Father God... I praise You for Your patience... and thank You for the process of sanctification... and Your grace that overflows...
