As in all things that matter (and if anything matters, then everything matters!) it is a process and a journey. In the path of reconciliation, nothing (and no one) is ever abandoned. But sometimes it will require letting go . . .
There is wisdom to be had in remembering the Serenity Prayer:
“God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.” -- Reinhold Niebuhr
Though there be hardships on the Journey, we are never alone.
Coming sometime (as opposed to coming soon . . . my work schedule is crazy . . .) I will visit the following "Rhema-nations" . . .
Fuzzy Leadership
Brokenness
"Loosing my Religion"
& "Expectancy vs. Expectation"
Until then . . .
