The way we expend our thoughts and actions will tell us whether we live according to the flesh or according to the Spirit. “Wherever your treasure lies, there your heart will be” (Luke 12:34).
Things that make sense take time.
Cultivate, fertilize, and till the soil. But don’t expect things of the greatest importance to run on your schedule.
I don’t think God keeps lists of what we must do and want to become. I don’t think that as clever as we think we are, we’ll understand all about God’s mind. Probably, at least, there is one thing that we unquestionably can perceive about God’s desire; it is through our personal experiences about God’s love and compassion in daily life.
That’s the ground that I’ll continue to water and watch… and I will keep lists of the things that can help me grow and nurture many people…
