I, like most humans, believe that there must be some offering on my part– a sacrifice to to speak.
I like to think about how alchemy works with trauma (miraculously shifting the chaos into beauty)
While this Isn’t untrue, relying on Jesus is a whole other sort of MIRACLE.
When Spirit kept inviting me into being strategic, I pursued some new challenge for my brain like chess or Othello.
But when I got to my father’s home, sure I took the initiative to go but then after that, it seemed like Love took over. I yielded my body and a great, merciful Love flowed freely.
Somehow in my dealings, my friend Nita said I had been very strategic in my humble approach. And I thought “that’s not me”.
But you see Christ is all in all.
Wherever you desire some quality or fruit you don not possess, he does possess it. Will you let HIM possess you?
He can make wine from water– no grapes needed.
He can make something out of nothing.
And you don’t have to sacrifice..you don’t have to provide the trauma or the substance. You simply have to show up and believe.
We love to do our part and I’m all for it– co-redeeming, co-creating, co-resurrecting. AND AlLSO, can we sit still and receive our gift in the solitude of the silence which surrounds the voice of the coming Lamb.
Just letting ourselves be found and in this way, transformed.
