How people change

Friday, October 20, 2006
If you do not want to see yourself, If you do not want to learn about yourself, if you do not want more convictions of who you really are and how your life is more than what you have ever imagined, if you do not want to be challenged.....

If you still want to like yourself...

Then DO NOT get this book



Or the workbook.

I am sorry I had to pimp this book. It has been so very convicting and yet not so condemning. I typically like myself, but I see that I am not a very likeable person. In the realm of intimacy and community...Well it has shown me where grace has been all this time. And how my comfortable life, really is not so comfortable afterall.

I do challenge those who seek intimacy and relationships and community...those who seek change and a deeper level of heart to get the book and workbook. When the classes are offered again I will most likely advertise or pimp it again at church.

The mirror will be given to you (those who choose) and what will you do when you see the reflection? Will you like what you see? It is one such opportunity to see your life through the lens of heaven. Those who are prideful, beware. It packs a punch. And yet does not hurt or give any new wounds. It exposes the ones we already have. It has made me want to call out for more.

The best part is it does not TELL you, it asks you alot. And it comes to you for you to figure out. Everyone's path is different. This only calls you to the greater path and points to one place.

A deeper an intimate relationship with God.

So if you want to continue to like yourself as you are, do not get this book. Yet if you long for something deeper and greater, then get this book and workbook. Think, pray, and open your heart. That's all. The spirit does the rest.

    Thy way, not mine, O lord


    Thy way, not mine, O Lord,
    However dark it be;
    Lead me by Thine own hand,
    Choose out the path for me.

    Smooth let it be or rough,
    It will be still the best;
    Winding or straight, it leads
    Right onward to Thy rest.

    I dare not choose my lot;
    I would not, if I might;
    Choose Thou for me, my God,
    So I shall walk aright.

    Take Thou my cup, and it
    With joy or sorrow fill,
    As best to Thee may seem;
    Choose Thou my good and ill.

    Choose Thou for me my friends,
    My sickness or my health;
    Choose Thou my cares for me
    My poverty or wealth.

    The kingdom that I seek
    Is Thine: so let the way
    That leads to it be Thine,
    Else I must surely stray.

    Not mine, not mine the choice
    In things or great or small;
    Be Thou my Guide, my Strength
    My Wisdom, and my All.

    ~Horatius Bonar
