5 days away.
I am deeply convinced that the Christian leader of the future is called to be completely irrelevant and to stand in this world with nothing to offer but his or her own vulnerable self. That is the way Jesus came to reveal God’s love. The great message that we have to carry, as ministers of God’s Word and followers of Jesus, is that God loves us not because of what we do or accomplish, but because God has created and redeemed us in love and has chosen to proclaim that love as the true source of all human life.
-Henri Nouwen
All I can control and all I have is myself. Time is life's only currency.
Life isn't about telling stones to become loaves of bread.
Life isn't about doing incredible feats to amaze people.
Life isn't about obtaining power and stuff.
Life is about living like You, Jesus. To stand in this world with nothing to offer but my vulnerable self. I can't solve anything, I can't change anything all I can control is myself and all I have is You, Jesus.
Whether I am traveling to Africa or 5th avenue Columbus all I can give to people is my time and attention. Exactly the way You loved people when You walked the Earth and exactly the way You love me.
Abba You love us because You created and redeemed us in love.
Why do I worry? Why do I try to solve things or fix things or try to be things.
I'm not a mighty leader, I'm not a magnificent man, I'm a sinner, I'm no different than the worst man alive today. You are good God. You make me beautiful. It isn't because of what I do or accomplish that merits Your love and forgiveness. It's Your goodness, it's Your love, it's Your character.
What can I do God but point to You? Become the servant of all and love each and every brother and sister of mine on this earth exactly as You first loved me.
