big things
These days are the beginnings of big things. Making first impression, re-befriending old friends and re-acquainting old acquaintances, brainstorming with IV leadership with a fresh and unfrustrated vision. The possibilities are overwhelming...I can't wait to see how God will sieze them.
Busyness is the enemy that hovers in the gap of meantime. It pushes the Most Important to the fringes, pretending its temporary aims to be the real thing. And selfishness is the cause of busyness. It tells me to please as many people as often as possible, to polish my reputation so my own face will reflect. What could a schedule be like without the upkeep of this image? I hope I learn this fall. I hope I can be like Jesus, who did enough. People tugged at his robe and asked him to stay, but he left them. He was probably offered money and better accomodations, but he wasn't concerned. "I must preach the good news to the other towns also, because that is why I was sent" (Luke 4:43).
My time is not my own. I was bought with a price.
