Another interesting topic that caught my attention
"Trial and difficulty is about sight. What do we see in the midst of the trials?"
What he was trying to get to was that Jesus always wants to reveal himself to us in this place, this dark, lonely, scary place. And I guess that the question is what do we see. what are we looking at. Are we looking for Jesus amidst this place of seemingly destruction or are we just overwhelmed by the rubble all around us and the pain that is never ending.
"God doesn't define our life by our struggles. He defines us by the SEEDS of virtue/character that are in our heart and that we set our heart on"
The classic example being Gideon, who the angel of the Lord call "a mighty man of valor"
even though Gideon was hiding out from the enemies in a winepress and had never fought in the army.
God saw him for the SEEDS of Faith and courage he was yet to be operating in.
Isn't that crazy. That God looks at me and sees me in the maturity of the gifts that he has put into me and drawn my heart to long after.
I can't even comprehend who Katie will be in her maturity. I have guesses but I don't see her clearly. It's like treating a baby or a little kid messing around in the sand as a King because he will be the king. I'm assuming we would treat that little kid with alot more respect and honor and be more cautious at yelling at them.
Onto my next post
