Crossing Cultures Making Disciples Memoir

Sovereign

Unknowns pile up, left and right. Closed doors and uncertainty overwhelm. At the ends of the earth. 

Amidst this confusion of crossroads. During a certain season in our lives. Fears creep in. Uninvited.

Then. In the weight of urgent prayer, a passage of Scripture whispers in my thoughts.

Rising gently. Firmly. Pressing through the questions and concerns.

A hymn of praise. Penned by Paul. 

About the Sovereign One.

Turn your eyes

“Turn your eyes upon Jesus.” 

The simplest act. To move my gaze. 

From the task. Pain. Problems. Ordinary ins and outs of every day.

It’s easy. No complicated checklist required.

And yet…

Turn your eyes upon Jesus
Turn your eyes upon Jesus.

Untraceable ways

The shifting in our souls comes unbidden. Change is on the way. Undefined and unexplained. Untraceable.

Yet we know.

This surprises. Perplexes. How do we leave the incomplete? People we love? Those yet to turn and follow Christ? 

We bring questions and loose ends before Him. Wrestle in prayer. Wanting specifics, really.

Silence.
