My thinking here is that sometimes it's the mortar, and occasionally it's the bricks. What I mean is sometimes I find myself trying to add fresh mortar when what the Lord is doing is upgrading the building. CS Lewis talks about this. So does Christ; new wine in old bottles, etc. Anyway, that's when it really is the most painful, because He's telling me it's time to take my discipleship, my stewardship, to a new level. But those are also such sweet experiences. Maybe that's where you are, Kaz. The help will come when it's needed.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07532225334730948057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-585748112633478360.post-34147100531994272572011-01-19T18:38:51.733-07:002011-01-19T18:38:51.733-07:00This brought tears to my eyes.
