Lessons

Lessons in community,
The body of Christ

Learning to let love replace fear.

It's focus:
Letting Him work through me,
The pressure all on shoulders
more than big enough to handle it
and not
Struggling to be perfect by myself.

Isolation vs. Community
Fear vs. Love
my weakness vs. His Strength
Conformation vs. Transformation
Physical vs. Eternal-

He trades it through chastening,
Orchestrating life to knead out the
worry,
and the bitterness,
and the anger...

Learning to fight instinct:
The gravity of self
That pulls us from the worship
That our spirit was created for.

It's not expecting to understand
What my mind can not hold, just:

decrease self
so that He can increase.
