Becoming...

"This life therefore, is not righteousness,
but growth in righteousness,
not health but healing,
not being but becoming,
not rest but exercise.
We are not yet what we shall be,
but we are growing toward it;
the process is not yet finished but it is going on.
This is not the end but it is the road;
all does not yet gleam in glory but all is being purified."


--Martin Luther

This morning, as I was reading a passage from "The Glorious Pursuit" by Gary Thomas (a WONDERFUL book, by the way), the quote above caught my eye...and I thought I'd share it.

Not much more to share today...my health has gone back to where it was a few weeks ago--and my ability to think clearly and really ponder things has been inhibited again. I don't know what I'm doing differently, but I am praying that the Lord will show me how to remedy this situation!

May the Lord fill my mind with thoughts of Him today...
