Awareness manifests our union with Christ, and exposes our inability to do or to be apart from Him. Awareness embraces humility and becomes the joy of being no one - so that He receives the glory for every good thing that comes through us. He is the sovereignty in me that accomplishes His own will. I can't glory in a choice, practice, discipline, action, insight, or increase of any kind. He is the influencing agent in all things "Susan" and will work it all together to bring forth His completion in me, as me. The good, the bad, and the ugly parts are all "His" to shape and mold. To finally see this makes it easier to let go of judgment and self hatred. He orchestrates my circumstances and gets exactly what He needs from each one. I rest in trust... You crack me up, too! :)

What I really mean to say is, each day is a very humbling day, when we live in the awareness of our brokenness and yet it is only in this awake state that we can be the hands of our Jesus, that we can walk the path as the good Samaritan, that we can move in the height of compassion. We are weak but He is strong. His water of life feeds all around us as He flows from our brokenness. You do have uncommon compassion Susan... I saw in your eyes the day we first met. You my friend have been serving in your Calcutta for quite some time now... The fruit is good to the eye and sweet to the taste! ... And so the paradox has the last word! We are flawed in our humanity but in Christ we are whole and complete!

I always come away from every conversation with you, fresh in the truth that, He alone is the Hope and the mover of our lives. It's because of His energy that I get up, dress up and show up each day. When I see Him... my joy is full! ;) Hey Susan,
