Hesitation

Hesitation.

The soul stutters. Protests weakness.

Earthen vessels live fragile at times.

Trying too hard when it’s time to be still. Waiting too long when it’s time to move.

Resisting when He says speak. Stalling as He calls me somewhere out of my current comfort zone.

Forgetful

Are you forgetful? I am.

Reading through old journals and letters never fails to delight. Surprise. And confound. Highlighting my forgetfulness about experiences and facts from our personal history.

“Don’t forget” and “remember” are two exhortations. Repeated in Scripture. For good reason.

“Only be on your guard and diligently watch yourselves so that you don’t forget the things your eyes have seen and so that they don’t slip from your mind as long as you live.
Teach them to your children and your grandchildren.”
Deuteronomy 4:9 CSB

Love your neighbor

The commandments given are plain. Straightforward.

“‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul,
and with all your strength, and with all your mind,’
and ‘Love your neighbor as yourself’.”
Luke 10:27

Love the Lord with all that I am. Yes! And love my neighbor. Of course.

But, uh, by the way. Who is my neighbor?
