There are some things I do that others do not
understand. There are things I do that I
do not understand. I realize that
walking by faith requires this. Faith is
not blind but it also must be a following.
The entire journey is built upon that simple act of following Christ.
I proceed from the assumption that we are all on a journey
to God whether we acknowledge it or not.
It is not my place to impose this journey on others or to dismiss anyone
who disagrees with my presupposition. It
seems that in following Christ it is very clear that I am to have faith that is
so dependent upon God that I do not need to be selfish with others.
Rather my faith is to be selfless. I am to get out of the way so others can see
Christ and his work on me. It is never
about me but I live in a world where things tell me that I am supposed to make
it about me. So what does selfless faith
look like? How do I follow and find my sustenance
in Christ so that I do not need to impose my needs on others? Where is the balance between being humble
when others wish to do the same for me?
All of these questions and more signal an excellent thing to
think about whilst we journey toward the advent season. If I can give selfless faith to my journey
then I may be able to benefit others along the way. Walk with me if you wish and as always Dear
Reader, I value your input.
Wishing you joy in the journey,
Aramis Thorn
Mat 13:52 So Jesus said to them, "That is why every writer
who has become a disciple of Christ’s rule of the universe is like a home
owner. He liberally hands out new and old things from his great treasure
store."
