As Jesus prepared his disciples for the most important work they would ever do, He knew they were afraid. He knew they felt overwhelmed. But he had words for them that apply to all of us: If your first
concern is to look after yourself, you’ll never find yourself. But if
you forget about yourself and look to me, you’ll find both yourself and
me. (Eugene Peterson's "The Message") We were created for something greater than any of us can even imagine. And the God who brought us into this world is there along side us always, giving us the strength we need to see it through. |
