Susan LaffertyWhen Someday seems too far, the fragile heart mourns. Torn. Tender.
Walking in the weight of sorrow.
Sitting in the dark.
And we cry out for rocky paths made smooth. The broken place, whole. Strong winds and high waves, stilled.
Longing to affirm the true. And say we are crushed but not in despair.
Integrity. Its words and ways necessary in sites of work and ministry. Homes. Inner rooms. Behind closed doors. In the street, store, outdoor space. Every place.
“It would not be right for us to neglect the ministry of the word of God in order to wait on tables” (Acts 6:2).
And Stephen is chosen. To wait on tables.
Doing so full of grace.
Full of God’s power.
Faithful in the ways of the Lord.
