Excerpts: Signs of paralysis: I stay busy to avoid life. I’m never ‘sure’. I overthink until I can’t think. If I don’t try, I won’t fail. Too many options to choose. I’ll do it right or I won’t do it. I avoid goals. I'd rather dream than decide.  Excerpt: Jesus asked a paralytic if he wants to be healed. Why? Because we stop asking once we stop hoping. I resign myself to my mat. Unsure if God even wants to heal me. If He did, He would. He hasn't. Why ask again?  Excerpt: I dream of homers yet never swing away. Bad decisions can ruin us but so can indecision. Like Thoreau, I wish to live deliberately. I don’t want to come to the end and find I never lived.  Excerpt: Ever feel like no one sees you? A blind man in John 9 can't see nor is he seen. Except by himself. He likely sees himself as others do: Unworthy of notice. But Jesus noticed. His broken heart had broken God's.  Excerpt: I can so easily miss the beauty right in front of me. How? I get distracted by the life I want and don’t have. Or by the life I have but don’t want. So I miss what it is I really want most: God. The same God who wants me.  Excerpt: A solar eclipse illustrates what happens when my desires consume me. Desire itself isn't the issue. God wants us to desire and enjoy His gifts. The issue is: I'm prone to want His gifts more than Him.  |
