And so, become yourself

Morning: Psalm 72; I Kings 22:1-28; I Corinthians 2:1-13
Evening: Psalm 119:73-96; Matthew 4:18-25

I don’t like fishing metaphors applied to people any more than I like sheep metaphors – I don’t want to be caught and corralled, nor to catch and corral you!  But there is power in Jesus that captures my heart and imagination. Paul relied on this more than wisdom or persuasion. Jesus calls me into a life of spiritual vitality, integrity, and authenticity.  A voice deep within me, a voice I trust, says, “Come and I will make you real, and your very being will invite others to be real too.” Become yourself … My heart and mind respond, “Yes!”
