We're buckets.

We are not made great by we know. We are made great by what we learn.

The struggle of life and reconciliation>the comfort of being right.

One requires trust in and submission to something greater, the other requires the pursuit of all things submitting to you. Let's allow our lives to be raw, with many tears and many more shoulders to cry on. If we are unwilling to experience the reality of the pain, we miss out on the reality of the joy. What I mean is that if we use a small bucket to scoop sand, it is the same bucket with which we scoop water. Let your bucket grow by becoming vulnerable to good and bad things, which is made possible through the realization that the Lord is sovereign and can be trusted. Vulnerability is not a part time job.

Let the pain Jesus scooped show you the size of his bucket. His capacity for holding water is sufficient for us all. The good news is that he doesn't hold it for long. He's in the business of pouring what he has over ALL peoples.

Stop knowing so much and start learning. What are you so afraid of?
