We have one chance to live this life in a way that will have eternal ramifications. It is not always the most comforting feeling to weigh our progress thus far, especially since most of us are far too aware of our failures and insecurities. That God wants us to do great things with this time we have been given, is probably understandable to most, but putting it into practice is quite another thing. Really, we are unable to be heroic based on our merits, skills, talents, and good looks. The real living we are called to participate in, allows for our oddities and awkward moments. Jesus is okay with our humanity, but calls us to walk in His grace. This coupling of the mortal dancing with the immortal is certainly not easy to comprehend. Suffice it to say, that your discouragement with your inabilities is not a factor when it comes to Christ and His love for you. The blood and flesh you carry about so heavily is an opportunity to reflect in time, what is unfathomable. Somehow God allows us to catch a better glimpse of Him through our stumbling and bumbling. How odd?! So, life the life with a sense of joy. You are not given up on, nor are you too far from His love. Jesus is captivated with you!
