Saints , Mystics, and Missionaries. I think all these Individuals have at least two things in common. First, they knew of many consolations in their life, but recognized only God as the ultimate one. Second, they believed and lived this reality-in extraordinary ways.
Waking up at the “Mission House”, and still feeling at Home somehow. Being able to develop, and rest in true friendships in my mission area over just two years #GodAboveTime. Being called to serve full days with my spiritual tank sometimes leaking or burning the wrong gas #metaphorWIN? These are some experiences that challenge me to rely on extraordinary trust in the Lord:
In Mission: Only the Father’s assigned task for this life can bring true affirmation, meaning and purpose.- In Relationships: Only friendship with “Jesus Christ” is the reliable source of comfort.
- In Prayer that matures into a “night experience”: Only the Holy Spirit that can teach us to pray with sincerity and devotion.
A life of surrender. Lord, wherever I go, may I seek and rely Only on You.
