Chad

I was reading Chad Smith's Blog today, and in response to C.S. Lewis' writing he mentioned a desire to be a golden wheat field, rather than a beautiful grass field. He was communicating that how easy and comfortable it is to look beautiful on the outside, and never change- much like a grass field. But his desire was to be torn apart, plowed up and re-sown so that he might be transformed into the image of Christ. Chad was confessing a sin that I struggle with deep, this desire for self- over growth of the kingdom. For no one will receive the fruits of a grass field.

Jesus make in me a unsettled man- only finding rest in the field that you tend.
