Don’t Run from Suffering?

Spending 3 hours fixing the menus on this blog was not my plan for this Saturday! Not at all. But after a few messages back and forth with WordPress.com technical support this week, I was finally able to fix it.

I found a few pages that needed updating. One page will take several hours and I added it to my “To Do” list for next week. I updated the rest. I looked for a “Pat on the back” in my chapters today and found this instead.

Today’s verse is just the opposite of popular advice and opinion:

“If it feels good, do it.”

“You can go your own way.”

“I did it my way.”

“Look out for #1.”

“You need to get away to find yourself.”

Luke 9:23, “…Don’t run from suffering; embrace it. Follow me and I’ll show you how. Self-help is no help at all. Self-sacrifice is the way, my way, to finding yourself, your true self.” The Message
