Chart the future

Sometimes we want to chart the future. Check out the land first. See if it’s a good fit. 

And while the fruit is inviting, enemies can seem awfully big. Cities and their barriers, overwhelming. 

So we hem and haw. Hesitate to go.

The rest of the story

What happened? In the unknown, we wonder. What’s the rest of the story?

A specific encounter comes to mind. One seemingly orchestrated. Timely. A divine appointment with gospel flowing. 

And genuine interest on her part. Hunger to know. In fact, she relates a series of events. That have brought her to this point. This place.

He is enough

We walk this path. Step by step. A path marked by altars along the way. Holding significant stories of surrender. Set in certain places, at particular times.

Personal experiences. Where God settles the question lingering in the thick of things. Opens eyes to see. Moves hearts to know.

He is enough. 

One such altar on my faith journey took place mid-day. In a Karachi summer.
