In Church this morning we read the
passage where Jesus tells the rich young man to go and sell everything he has
and give to the poor, then he will have treasure in heaven. And you know what I
noticed? “Jesus looked at him and loving him said, …” He loved the young man
and THAT was why Jesus told him to go and sell everything he had. Jesus knew
that giving everything, living a radical life, a life not of comfort but of
danger and selflessness, was what was best and most eternally rewarding.
Hey, Darlin! Just reading up on all your adventures/discoveries and find you are an excellent writer! Who knew? Entertaining and insightful just like you are in person=) But why should I be surprised, right? Just thought I would say, again, how proud I am of you and your courage and determination.
ReplyDeleteI've been a foreigner and had to navigate strange or "new" challenges. You're never quite sure where you are, or if you've arrived, or if you should just be happy to be going and forget about getting there. Beautiful and bewildering go hand in hand. Crazy, eh?
So great Skyping with you the other day!! You look amazing and I'm so happy for you. Praying for you always!!
Love,
Carissa
Love you for who God created you to be! Thankful that we are, by God's grace, in a fluid mode - growing to be more like Him!
