Which Way is Up?

Gotta love the journey. It’s all about discovery, right? Figuring out the right way after learning what not to do, where not to go.

Eventually all the wandering wears us down. But where to next?

The beauty of faith is that we find out life isn’t just a series of random collisions, but about people searching in different ways for their deeper purpose, which can’t really be uncovered on our own at all but only properly in Christ.

After we learn that (hopefully) we then get to play a unique role in this personal unfurling that tells us who we really are and who we’re truly meant to be.

Getting right with God opens the door. Then come the steps, spiritual actions in the form of our authentic response to this loving God who wants to reveal our inner gold and how to spend it.

The only way I know how to get there is through prayer.

And that requires humility.

Praying and asking for humility first makes it all flow, as in, “Well Lord, I admit I need you, now show me the way.”

Couldn’t be simpler. But as a friend of mine said, simple isn’t always easy.
