Live

The fruitfulness of God rises out of rest not anxiety, out of the gentle

nudge of his Spirit not the vision of a charismatic leader. In truth,

God is not asking us to do anything for him. He's already doing the

best stuff in the world and as we learn to live inside of him he will

invite us to be part of what he's already doing. One of the things I

notice about the life of Jesus is that he rarely created the environment,

or planned meetings for other people. He simply joined them in the

environments in which he found them.- As long as you have any

confidence in your flesh's ability to work for God, you will confuse

the urge to be productive with the nudging of the Spirit. And the

more capable you are in your own efforts and intellect the greater

danger you're in of substituting the arm of the flesh for the breath

of the Spirit. Being part of his church happens by simply loving

the people God puts before you each day - Wayne Jacobsen
