Our faith life starts and grows in simple ways from an invitation God offers us and to which we respond generously and openly. And that is how it grows too. The reach and demand of the claim and call God makes on us through our lives may extend us in ways we don’t like and call on us for things we may not want to let go of. But it remains the same God all and the God who ask us offer ourselves is the same one who resources us to meet the challenged respond to the invitation.
