5/11/2023 0 Comments What is yours is not yoursI stood as still and quiet as I could, and this word came to my mind: Only live for what is essential! Only live for what is essential! Which I interpreted from Scripture like this: With all joy, spend and be spent out for the souls of your people. There was no wind, but it was 24 below zero. The sun was just coming up through the pine trees yonder, at the end of the point. The text that filled me with most longing and soaked through my prayers was 2 Corinthians 12:15, "I will most gladly spend and be spent for your souls." The last morning I was there I took a walk before breakfast down through the birch trees to the lake and walked out on the frozen water beside the little rotting pier that had a big bread loaf of snow on it. Several weeks ago I spent four days at Shalom House, our Conference retreat center.
