“Costly grace is the gospel which must be sought again and again, the gift which must be asked for, the door at which a man must knock. Such grace is costly because it calls us to follow Jesus Christ. It is costly because it costs a man his life, and it is grace because it gives a man the only true life.”
Embrace the Within.
Yesterday was a bit much and today will be a bit little. And that is the way things go at times. Some days much is expected and other days we have very little expectations on us.
Today I am going to absorb a lot of information and then reflect on what I have gathered. I will take the information and choose what I do with that information going forward. Gathering information is important and at times I can get bogged down in thinking that I don’t know enough yet. I need to do more research. I need to read another article. I need another documentary to view. I need to see this practice in action one more time. And then, when I have all the information I need, then I can act.
The fact I need to accept is that I will never have all the information I want. I do have all the information I need to begin. I get this idea in my head that I need to know everything about a topic before I can put that information into action. And that is not the case. That is actually detrimental to my ability to be effective at getting that information out to the folks that need it. And often we sit on information because we don’t feel like we know everything BUT we do know enough.
So, I pray that today I find information that will help guide my path forward. I need to remember and remind myself that there is a difference between knowing enough to be competent and wanting to know everything and remain inactive. I want to actively teach the information in an engaging way so others can learn as well.
Peace to your home. Bless your being. The reign of God is now. Have the day you want. I hope you find whatever you’re looking for.
