I'm going back home, err, other home, err

Yes, this get's confusing when you essentially have 2 homes ><

Something which I've been reading, something to think about and consider.

Of people in the church the author wrote this:

What we draw them with, is what we draw them to.

If we're not drawing people with God's presence, love, grace, mercy, abundant provision, justice etc, but we're drawing in people with charisma, programs, human love and (dare I say it?) guilt/fear of consequences, then have we saved them? Or doomed them?

Absence makes the heart grow fonder?

Yup, definitely '> <'

off to Italy in a bit!

Nervous, bit scared, but learning to trust more that God has made the way.
It WILL be good!

Loving, as Christ loved the church...

IS NOT EASY!

And yet, it is probably one of the best things in your life. You learn how to love more, to initiate healing, forgiveness, apology. You learn that there are things in this world which ARE more important than you.

You learn that you DON'T have to always be right, that sometimes, it is better to be 'right' together, than to be right.

But above all, you learn that you CANNOT love in your own strength.

Thank you dear, for letting me love you, for letting me learn how to do so better. And thank YOU Daddy, for giving me all YOUR love.
