I read a great article tonight from the internet monk blog. Way too often, the church gets in the way of Jesus. Even though we're his body, we get so wrapped up in ourselves, we forget the point of being his body is that we're the temple where He dwells by the power of the Spirit. imonk writes about a time when he forgot about Jesus and focused on the church. Yikes. Ouch. Hmmm. Especially now, when I'm grieving church, re-imagining church, looking for church, re-discovering church, alternating between excitement and disgust of church, it's easy - too easy - to forget about Jesus.
The Joy of the Lord is my/our strength. Lord, you are good - so good.
