The Leisured Heart
Another excerpt from Victorious Living by E. Stanley Jones. The idea of being inwardly adjusted to the will of God appeals to me. It brings to mind Luke 12 where Christ teaches his disciples that being rich towards God is the opposite of anxiously pursuing possessions.

Sung Repentance
Repentance in the style of Naomi Shelton & The Gospel Queens. What's your style?
Mine usually takes the form of a mental rundown of the most recent examples of my finitude. Lately that's meant a confession that I don't have God's perspective and don't know how my contribution fits into the whole. This uncertainty is frustrating and humbling. Instead of getting stuck in uncertainty, I ask for help to move forward in trust. In other words, my attitude moves from Repentance to Faith.
