Remembering...

My friend posted a wonderful essay on Facebook that her son had written about the Sermon on the Mount. This particular passage is so important to me, because when I was about 12, I read it and determined that I would do just as it said. I tried, but, of course, failed. And I started to notice that NOBODY lived this way. So I figured it must not be true. And that was it for me and Christianity for many years. But, the Truth is that even WANTING to be like Jesus, even recognizing that these things are right and beautiful, shows that the seed of Eternity is planted in our breasts. When we fail, and see others fail, we're driven back to the only One who never fails, who has given us His righteousness as a credit and promises to also be about changing us as we fight the good fight of faith. I love that Tyler is studying this, and that THIS is what his writing assignments are about. May the Lord bless the work of your hands, Shannon.
