Never assume ...

Since starting my sabbatical I’ve been trying to listen more … to be aware that the Lord may want to tell me something instead of me assuming what I’m supposed to say.  I know I don’t listen enough.  I assume.  I assume I know the answer.  My dad taught me a long time ago to never assume after I assumed his van had oil in it … it didn’t.  Yet I still do it … I assume.

Anyway, I’ve been trying to be attentive and listen and I heard this, “People come and go, but I don’t.”  I needed to hear that.  I’ve been rolling it around since then trying to fully understand it and how it applies to me and where I’m at right now.  I think I’ll let it roll around some more before I write much about it.  But here’s what I’m thinking today … it goes back to the simple, central truth … it’s all about Jesus.
