it is what it is and its broken

It is what it is...

There are few things I hate in this world;
1) sin
2) this statement

I spent the last two hours with one of my pastor friends in town. We both have young kids, adore Jesus, and are convicted to not allow what it is to be the "new normal". We walked, prayed, repented, praised, asked for super-natural gifts for ourselves and each others' churches and listened.

As followers of Christ we are called to live out, to the best of our ability, what it is going to be in the New Heaven and the New Earth

It is going to be:
beautiful, whole, healed, joyful, Holy, thankful, light, alive....always

What it is now is:
broken and decaying sporadic appearances of the above.

Need proof? Of course not.

But do not despair, just get busy.

John Wesley offered these tips:

Do all the good you can,
By all the means you can,
In all the ways you can,
In all the places you can,
At all the times you can,
To all the people you can,
As long as ever you can.”

 

Let it be so.  

Yes it is what it is, it ain't what it should be, it's going to be something we can't fathom.
