Ephesians 4:17-24 New Living Translation (NLT)
Henri Nouwen, priest and theologian, once said, “Each day holds a surprise. But only if we expect it, can we see, hear, or feel it when it comes to us. Let’s not be afraid to receive each day’s surprise, whether it comes to us as sorrow or as joy. It will open a new place in our hearts, a place where we can welcome new friends and celebrate more fully our shared humanity.”
We are called to live life together as a community of believers. We share our stories and our life lessons and we help one another press on to the high call of Christ on each of our lives. We do not live according to the dictates of our flesh or the press of the crowd. We are in pursuit of a God-fashioned life; renewed from the inside out. Are you expecting God to surprise you with new experiences each day, so he can make a new place in your heart?
