Proverbs 15; Mark 7

So many thoughts in my head this morning....'entitlement'....GRACE...being a Spiritual Mother....change and friction and.......

Live and work like the rest of the world in broken places. In the brokenness perhaps we've tripped over Jesus but we don't know how to get up from the sprawled out place we've fallen, don't know how to accept Your grace...maybe we never have.....maybe we've forgotten...maybe we've numbed to it, begun feeling entitled to it.......

Entitlement is so isidious......I'm not sure I fully recognize it until I see it someone else and correlate it back to me and my own feelings.....

How do we as followers of Christ avoid it, stay immersed in Your Grace and operate following You?

As parents we entitle our children...we begin to feel as though 'they' are entitled to things that they're not.....BUT if we don't call it what it is we keep on doing it....We live in complicated times and are called to live lives of simplicity...how do we do that using the technology and advancements of the times and not become dependent on them leading us to feeling entitled to possess them?

I don't know just alot going on in my head and heart this morning...alot I've wrestled with for years, lost...and yet not learned.....

So today stumbling into YOUR GRACE......

Proverbs 15: 33 Fear-of-God is a school in skilled living—first you learn humility, then you experience glory. humility.....we don't deserve anything and yet Your Grace bathes us....maybe it takes our whole lives to learn this.....
Mark 7:24-30 this story always kind of bothered me and today I see her humility, she's not even supposed to know all about Jesus and she does...his own disciples sometimes didn't see or know and here in all humility she sees it all....and will take any small crumb of His grace.....no entitlement in her at all....

An heir of Christ humble........that's the simplicity of us as followers of Christ to grasp.....no entitlement......He never said it would be easy He does promise to be with us....alot to settle into today.....
