My soul makes its boast in the Lord;
let the humble hear and be glad.

(Psalm 34:2 ESV)

At its core, cultivating an intimacy in which people can know and be known requires being honest—practicing that Christian discipline of telling the truth about where we live and how we got there. Often, I’d rather welcome guests into a cozy apartment worthy of Southern Living. I’d rather show them a Lauren who’s put together and serene. Often, telling the truth feels absurd.

Get it all HERE

 

 

For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence,
for my hope is from him.

He only is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress; I shall not be shaken.
On God rests my salvation and my glory;
my mighty rock, my refuge is God.

Trust in him at all times, O people;
pour out your heart before him;
God is a refuge for us. Selah

Psalm 62:5-8

I met for prayer with a couple of brothers yesterday and this came up.  Wonderful prayer!

 
What great week!
