"...we have been approved by God..." (v 4)
These words jumped from the page today. Is it possible that God could just have a stamp of approval so that we knew who to follow and who to avoid? I'm having trouble seeing God lately. I've never read through the Bible, but for the first time, I am, yet I feel like God just isn't leaping out to me.
Don't get me wrong, there have been some beautiful words that I have never read in my life. I'm drawn into the moment with these words and the reflection that follows, but I'm not doing very well in bringing the words into my life. I just want big giant stamps on people and places that tell me what to do! But one thing I have learned through my Lutheran lens is that there are never stamps and we shy away from answers seeking more to analyze and raise more questions. I am supposed to be a carrier of the message, but my insecurity makes my stamp more of a perceived scarlet letter :p

One of the things I love about this blog is the opportunity to be honest - which I don't always have in the "real world" or feel comfortable with. Thanks for a very honest post.
