Something I'm Learning
I keep finding stuff about what I'm learning today.
I am slowly learning that when Jesus asks us to deny ourselves, to give up our life, He is asking us to give up our desire to know our future, to give up all titles but the one that matters, which is follower of Jesus, beloved sheep.
And so I remind myself to breathe peacefully, pray faithfully and walk trustingly. And I remind myself of the words of Jesus, who does not say to us, “Move! Work fast! Figure out your life! Time is running out!” But rather, “I am the good shepherd. Come, follow me.”
