Me: The sunset looks like it is gonna be a pretty one!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prodigal: God’s is putting on a show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is from the book Reaching for the Invisible God by Philip Yancey<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Author Larry Crabb says that we Christians often communicate to each other one of these two solutions: “Do what’s right” or “Fix what’s wrong.” Instead, the New Testament holds up a better way: “Release what’s good.” What’s good is the Holy Spirit, already living in us, with all the resources of God at his command.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We think we have to be independent and strong and that will allow us to be perfect. We think that being perfect will make others love us more and God also. That is not the plan. Instead we lean into the Holy Spirit and allow ourselves to be guided. We get out of the way. We release the burden that we have put on ourselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Proverbs 16:32<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whoever is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n
