Spiritual markers

Remember spiritual markers. 

Turning points in personal history. 

Moments of growth when God gives wisdom. And courage to take the next step. Boldness to enter something new.

Remember significant signposts in His Word. 

And give thanks.

Stone hearts

Soul exhaustion sets in. Unexpected. 

Byproduct from observing those who scorn the cross. And reject the gospel.

Stone heart resistance catches my breath. 

So, I pray.

Not so brave

People look at where you’ve been. Or where you’re headed. Noticing which trials have whipped or trudged through your life. 

And then decide you’ve got unusual fortitude. Courage. Perseverance to endure. 

“You’re so brave. I could never do that.”

I’m not so brave.
