The Water, Not the Finish Line

You don’t need your life figured out to be allowed to rest in it. The permission shows up mid-transition, not once you’ve arrived somewhere.

“Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness.”

— Matthew 3:15, KJV

“Permitted, for today — not forever, not without hope of change.”


Three Questions

  1. 1.What’s the “once I ___” sentence running in my head right now?
  2. 2.Where did I actually learn that belief — did anyone teach it to me, or did it just build up?
  3. 3.What’s one real, current thing I could say “suffer it to be so, now” over — just for today?
