I was so encouraged at church on Sunday.

The message was about investing in others and how anyone can do it, no matter who they are.

Our church has a beautiful partnership with Youth Horizons, helping mentor fatherless youth.

Talk about the heart of simplicity.

Here’s the quote in my brain right now:

“…I wonder if the difference is not in the fact that when Christians gather with a commitment to hear the voice of Christ, they receive the direction for which they seek.

Such a group experience can help us keep our eye single.  Christian brothers and sisters may warn us if we are taking on too many activities, or if we are getting too puffed up, or both; as one friend said to me once, ‘You need to lay low in the Lord.’  They may encourage us that we are moving in the right direction.  They may stir us up to love and good works.”

Foster, pg. 187

I’m feeling that need to “lay low in the Lord” right about now.  I’m guessing I’ll be back, but I want to keep my eye single.

He is so, so Good.
