I see so many people saying “I finally have the time to read, and bake, and think, and love on my kids like I haven’t done in years,” and maybe the way our whole culture is centered around work and the acquisition of wealth was the problem.
Humility—like poverty of spirit in the beatitudes—is the way to true freedom.
The person marked by humility has:
• nothing to prove
• nothing to possess
• nothing to protect.
This is true freedom.
As long as we’re wedded to results, we’ll take on smaller and smaller tasks, the only ones that yield results.
If we want to live by values like love, truth, and justice—values that will never be fully achieved—’faithfulness’ is the only standard that will do.

Preaching on Cain and Abel tmrw.
In Genesis 3, after Adam sins, God’s 1st question is “where are you?”
In Genesis 4, after Cain sins, God’s 1st question is, “where is your brother?”
The core of our relationship with God is found in these two simple questions.
