Reflections from Earls boy... Jesus. I am where I am because of You. When I was dead in sin - YOU made me alive. I am your child because YOU made it happen. I KNOW its ALL about YOU. That being said - I know its not about me. I didnt create life. I dont define life. I dont fully understand life. Ive read the dialogue You had with Job. He was a real man with real heartache. Its painful to contemplate. You know it seems that You are mean and cruel at times. Why would You allow a person to go through such hell? Humanly speaking thats a lot for a man to handle. Jobs eyes were open to who You are when he said: You asked, ‘Who is this that questions my wisdom with such ignorance?’ It is I—and I was talking about things I knew nothing about, things far too wonderful for me. You said, ‘Listen and I will speak! I have some questions for you, and you must answer them.’ I had only heard about you before, but now I have seen you with my own eyes. I take back everything I said...” Job 42:3-6 You call the shots Abba. You are jealous. You share Your glory with NO one else. Lord, I still struggle with totally praying Your WILL be done. I own that theology. BUT - It implies my Will be gone. Like... totally Gone. Its a control problem I have. It forces me to release the outcome to You and Trust You in the process. Process is daily. Process is now. Process means that I dont get to call the shots. Im trusting that your Grace will be sufficient. I desperately need you Lord!!! Desperately!!! Your redeemed, BUT struggling servant. TC Contemplation: Suffering has been stronger than all other teachers, and has taught me to understand what my heart used to be. I have been bent and broken, but - I hope - into a better shape. Charles Dickens When PAIN slams on the brakes and forces me to stop... I realize... Im a better man when I live an unhurried life. Im going to try to learn to slow down as fast as I can.
