trust

yesterday a friend shared some thoughts. thoughts he wouldn't have shared a year or so ago. a year or so ago trust was not in the mix. that is easy to understand. it takes time to feel someone will use what they know about you to help you and not destroy you. some of us spend a lot of time making sure people see us as they want to see us and not how we truly are. trust is a sign of growth. trust requires an inner strength and belief in something bigger than ourselves.

Brennan Manning wrote, "Perhaps the supreme achievement of the Holy Spirit in the life of the ragamuffins (the broken) is the miraculous movement from self-rejection to self-acceptance."

Jeff returns home today and will be in service on Sunday.
