The Stuff I Have (Luke 12:32-40)
Derek and his daughter Mary
It’s so easy to think that the more we have the more prepared we are; only to find out that we maybe we’re preparing for the wrong thing.
It’s so easy to fool ourselves into thinking the higher the walls we build, the safer we’ll be; only to be shown that no walls are high enough to keep out the stuff that haunts our dreams, that our safety is not ours to ensure.
It’s so easy to believe that the future we’re waiting for is one we could—through thoughtful planning and safe investments—meet on our own terms; only to find out that the future breaks in on us like the owner of the house returning from a wedding banquet—pushy, demanding.
