“Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.” Colossians 3:12
It’s from a heart of compassion that kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience naturally flow.
Imperfect progress.... the journey doesn’t have to look exactly like we thought it would to be good. It can be full of highs & lows but still be so very good.
Imperfect is a guarantee.
Progress is what we can shoot for.
And we can choose to see the good in the midst of it all.
Today is a good day to say, “enough.” I’ve done my part, now I must let God do His.
I can stop pushing.
I can stop trying to control.
This doesn’t mean I give up. It means I give over to God what was never mine to carry.
My job is obedience to God. His job is everything else.
There is a favorite story I like to tell myself. It’s the one about how my life should turn out.
But in the end I’ve discovered - I would have never been brave enough to write it as messy and marvelous as God.
So, I’m choosing to take His hand and simply live it.
