i was reading for small group the other night, and as i grew frustrated with the lackluster pages in my hands, i closed the book and reached for another that was lying on the coffee table. i was four chapters in before i even noticed. waking the dead by john eldredge.
life is a continuous assault on our hearts. we must practice words of life. find comfort in community. recognize that our hearts are good. that they matter to god. that is key.
"you have an enemy. he is trying to steal your freedom, kill your heart, destroy your life...very few people live like that. the alarm goes off and they hit the snooze button, catch a few extra winks, gulp down a cup of coffee on their way to work, wonder why there are so many hassles, grab some lunch, work some more, come home under a sort of cloud, look at the mail, have dinner, watch a little tv, feed the cat, and fall into bed - without once ever wondering how the enemy might be attacking them. all they know is, they sure aren't enjoying that abundant life christ talked about."
what does deliverance look like?
