Sometimes the teacher becomes a student again. That sounds just like how Jesus would get me to pay attention and reconnect with his presence, presents. This summer had some unusual winds blowing, that had me hungry for answers and finding the source of my “unsettledness” In this unpacking of that journey I discovered answers in John Eldridge's new book Resilient and his older one about Jesus: Beautiful Outlaw.

Finding My Heart Again

In the early days as I was trying to find my heart, as I look back now, it was a puzzle.   When the real Gospel and the person of Jesus appeared in 2005, I was given a picture from which to assemble the puzzle.  Or, a map through the maze.  As Trinity now reveals more of the picture to me, as the pieces of The Larger Story appear as an ever increasing mural, now I can see what I could not see before.   And the horizontal line represents the division between “above the line” (the place where I find God’s love and truth and peace and nourishment) and below the line (this broken world in which we must operate).   Above the line reveals the picture so the puzzle pieces can fall into place.  I once was blind, but now I see.  I once was lost in a maze, but now I am finding my way.  Not my compass, but His.
