The Real Work

“It may be that when we no longer know what to do we have come to our real work,

and that when we no longer know which way to go we have come to our real journey.

The mind that is not baffled is not employed.

The impeded stream is the one that sings.” (Wendell Berry)

Who’s up for some “real work” today and in the days to come?

Perhaps it will require the following:

Finding our rest in God.

Putting our trust in God.

Clinging to hope in God.

Walking faithfully with God.

No matter what. No matter when. No matter how.

Receive the unconditional love of God – it’s the only real work that matters today. And it’s the path that will lead to  your deepest and most meaningful transformation.

Behold the love of God…believe the grace of God…belong to the kingdom of God…become the beloved of God
