sides
From my journal this week:
It’s true that I personally don’t have the stress of a rebellious teen in my home, or a drug addict, or an unbelieving child, or unfaithful spouse. My marriage isn’t on the rocks, I’m not wrestling with my mortality, God’s salvific plan or His existence.
But as a pastor, I feel a piece of it all. It cements the reality that I’m finite and unable to help anybody. I feel useless and superfluous to the world. I’ve got nothing to offer but Jesus and at times I wonder if He’s enough but I sure don’t live like He is.

I have observed your walk in the Lord for years. I have seen it deepen and mature. It seems your faith and trust in HIM is rooted in your belief that HE is enough. That is what comes through to me. When we humble ourselves to be as clay, He is able to work His plan . I am so blessed that while you are my son, you also teach me. Thanks for walking without The Mask.
