Grace is Messy
5. If you want to change your life, don’t go to church… go shopping instead. When I read the story, I let my mind fast forward a little. The guy goes for a walk and after walking for a while, he realizes he needs some new stuff: shoes, a water bottle, a sketchbook, a travel mug for coffee and a backpack to hold his stuff. I think it is interesting that Jesus didn’t tell him how to live his life or that he needed to go to church. Jesus told him just walk and you will figure out what you need to drop (or stop doing) and what you need to pick up.
Your scars are telling you that you have faced a great deal of pain and that you can overcome. Your healing is often right in front of you in the form of your adversity, your opportunities and the relationships that both challenge and inspire you.
