I discovered a new blog thanks to Bob over at In The Clearing.
The Blog is called "Christ Deeper Still", so far, everything I've read has been really really GOOD. I'm hoping to dig further, but one of the very first things I hit on the blog was this video. And it was just incredible.
Watch the video... you've got a few minutes, it's certainly worth it. And, if you're just stuborn and won't watch the video take this quote from it at least:
"May the Lamb that was slain, receive the reward of His suffering!"

I'm commenting all over the place tonight, sorry. Now that was moving. We are his reward???? ME???? Oh God no! Please not me! May the Lamb that was slain receive the reward of His suffering. Oh.....oh....how very disappointing his reward must seem. How very disappointing.
I had to laugh tonight as Bell and I walked through the supermarket picking up a few items. She had a can of chili, and a package of bologna in her hands. She worked VERY hard to carry them both but struggled most of the way. Literally, at one point we stopped in the aisle for a minute and a half while she dropped the chili, bent over to get it and dropped the bologna, bent over to get it and dropped the chili.
I enjoyed every moment of it. It's a post unto itself how much I enjoyed watching her try so hard. She wasn't perfect, she wasn't good at carrying two simple items that I could have long-since just taken from her and carried myself - but ultimately, she was successful. And my crazy heart took so much joy in her success as she toddled over to the checkout and stretched to put her items on the counter that it could have burst.
It's not about perfection, it's not about doing it exactly right.
It's about our ever present struggle, and drop, and struggle and drop, as we grow. Ultimately, God just wants to rejoice as we get our cans to the table.
That's my two cents anyway.
