becoming

Opening Prayer: Lord Jesus, you show us how true it is that becoming takes time and space.  help us to allow you the time and the space to grow us into the people and the followers that you long for us to be.  Amen.

Scripture: Luke 2:40

Journal: What is growing in you these days?  Are you giving it the time and space it need to flourish?  How will you?

Reflection:

     becoming

and the child grew
and became strong;
he was filled with wisdom
and the grace of God
was upon him. (Luke 2:40)


you came as a babe
not a full grown man
and then you had to become

there were no short cuts
even for you
it was a long slow work
this growing and strengthening

why would we
expect it to be
any different for us

why should we be
exempt from the journey
of becoming



Prayer

Closing Prayer:  Lord God, thank you for showing us that becoming is a long, slow journey.  It cannot be forced or rushed.  It take a long obedience in the same direction.  Therefore, help us to be diligent, yet patient.  In the name of Jesus we pray.  Amen.
