Acquired Relationship

I know that I have always wanted a son, because I remember vowing to myself that I would be a good father to him, if I ever received one.  I vowed that I would not be an oppressive or angry father to him, the way my father was to me.

Your Spirit is the one who
transcends
the progress that I make,
the journey that I take.

I am never winding
through twisty roads 
without being
at His side.

My vow was not made in the purest manner.  Neither do I desire   Yet I know that this is truer than all my other goals and desires, because it is a pleasant but action-provoking force that enables me to touch lives, often without even a second thought.

I now have some good opportunities to fulfill this vow and destiny of mine. Jesus is knitting together my heart, which has been by the enemy broken in a thousand pieces.  Regardless of how other people─followers of Jesus or otherwise─have been moved to bless the world, this is the kind of bread He distributes at all times through me.

So there are obstacles to some of the relationships I am building.  They are thorny, full of frustrations and barriers that the Lord must clear away.  

"The world is waiting for you to make your next move."
