Biggest sigh ever.
Jesus is tracking me down wherever I go these days. Or he's having my mail forwarded to a number of different people. Either way, the slow process of breaking me down so HE can rebuild?
Uh, yeah. I'd say that's underway, officially, now.
Brick by brick.
This oughta be fun.
He is taking the things that I've set up as idols in my life, and reminding me that He is the one I'm to worship.
He is literally destroying relationships, in an effort to show that the one with Him is the ONLY one that matters.
He is revealing the Pride and Selfishness that exist in my life. And unfortunately, He can't get close to me when that disgusting debris is littering the path.
I just wish we lived in the days of the golden calves.
Because then I could pay someone else to take that worthless thing to the edge of town, to the LANDFILL where it belongs.
But these days, our idols are our own flesh and bone. They are our misconceptions about ourselves and others.
And the process of breaking it up and hauling it to the landfill is a long and painful one.
But it's a necessary one, and I am onboard. I'm even a little bit excited. Ready to get my hands dirty.
And I know I will be better on the other side.
