“The life that intends to be wholly obedient, wholly submissive, wholly listening, is astonishing in its completeness. Its joys are ravishing, its peace profound, its humility the deepest, its power world-shaking, its love enveloping, its simplicity that of a trusting child.” (Thomas Kelly)
This is not an impossible dream. This is the life lived by apostles and prophets. They were not superheroes. They were ordinary people touched by the power of God, choosing to live this life of radical obedience.
My own ego and pride gets in the way here. I want my needs met. I like to whine (and seem to be doing more these days). This life will not allow for that. My flesh must go.
