A NEW AWARENESS: ACTION VS PASSIVE DESIRE

I’ve had a good awakening that is helping me to fit some pieces of the puzzle together. Since childhood I’ve wanted God to zap me thin. Yet each time I got close I became afraid of the chubby shadow that followed me. And I remember now that God made me do the hard work. He’s saying “This is your cross to carry. Only you (me) can make it lighter. It’s not passive prayer. It’s work—day after day—to make my own thin. He will smile along the way that I am taking action, finally.

    Yes, very powerful. There is a proverb that John Lewis referenced often: when you pray, move your feet. I think of it when I am just hoping things will change without taking any action myself.
