An Open Book
Part of learning how to be disciple of Christ is discovering what I really think, what I really trust and what I really feel. 1 Thessalonians 5:23 was Paul's challenge to us to find that unity of spirit, soul and body through Christ. God is peacemaker, creating peace between Himself and us but here He tells there is a war going on inside of us that requires an arbiter. Our emotions war against our spirit and our bodies war against our minds fighting for control of our will. Beautifully broken is the place of acceptance, my limitations, my disabilities, my flaws and my weaknesses. They don't mean I'm unusable or broken beyond repair. I am at war and the outcome could be victory for the God of peace or my resignation of chaos. This is my story. What is yours?
