All we need

We have all we need. 

For life. Godliness. And walking by faith in this day and age.

We’re given His Spirit. God’s Word. Prayer. The fellowship of believers. 

Every advantage.

Sent ones

It hit me in a different way that day.

The gathering of family and friends to commission this latest group of sent ones. Newly trained. Now on their way. To places all over the globe.

It hit me when I saw the expressions. On parents’ faces. 

Pride. Joy. Grief. And for some—uncertainty. Perhaps, even anger. 

The time had come. For releasing their kids and grandkids. To travel across oceans and borders. Into a new and different life of serving in another culture.

Forgiven

Forgiven little? Loving little.

Simon invites Jesus to a meal in his home. Holding Him at arm’s length. Studying the Master.

And in the midst of critical scrutiny, he foregoes the most basic act of hospitality.

Washing the feet of his guest.

Forgiven much. Loving much. Image by William Priess on Unsplash.
