Lent Day 20
It's interesting how the human response to the divine is often times set in the pragmatics of circumstances. "Sir, you don't have a rope or a bucket."
We acknowledge the depth of our problems - at least deep as we know deep - "and this well is very deep."
Yet the divine is about faith and belief. "If you only knew ..."
That's the problem we only know our lives, issues, problems, joys, "blessings" (we throw that word around a lot), excitement, from the human perspective. Ropes and buckets.
We need to learn the perspective of the divine. [Note the character of Christ: engaging, relational, kind, a gentlemen. The north american church can learn a lot.]
The perspective of the divine - of Christ - is about faith and belief - "...you would ask me..."
Here's to more trust in "asking" Christ and not trusting my own "ropes and buckets."
