It has been some time since I last blogged, but tonight I heard a message at Kairos through which God, not only reassured me but affirmed the call placed on my heart and life. It's strange when that happens, I always think - or maybe it's just me, but I tend to assume I'm not doing the right thing. I'm either working too hard or not enough; socialising too much or not enough; not focussing enough or having tunnel vision. Sometimes, it's because other people tell us, but not all the time; often it's just us convincing ourselves that our default position is rebellion. Whatever the issue seems to be, there's always someone there to draw our attention to how we're doing, thinking, feeling, in the right way. However, sometimes there are exceptions.

There are times in our lives when we, instead of staring down the gullet of a whale, we're oriented in the direction that God desires for us, in fact has hoped and planned for us. This is when we accept the yoke Jesus bears with us. This yoke fits. It's not the opposed to work, certainly not the opposition of burden or hardship, nevertheless it fits. It is light and it is easy because you were creator by God for this purpose. In that moment, standing beside Christ and because of him, where he has promised to remain, we are strong and secure.
