Jesus stays with me. Stay with me Lord Jesus. I wonder if this is like the Hebrew “hesed” which has the same meaning as what brain scientists describe as ttached, sticky love, like super glue, pay attention. We all long for someone to be attached to us, who sees us who we are and “stays”. This past year I have been meeting with a pastor who has confessed sexual misconduct and removed from all ministry after many years of shepherding God’s people, now with some dementia. He is gradually recognizing his borkenness. The Body of Christ never knew he and his marriage was broken for 30 years nor did he. I am grateful for you Nathan, “staying’” with me and shepherds who need someone to notice and pay attention to us, who see our hearts and love us..
I am no stranger to Esther Waal's paradox. Not wanting to grieve the Holy Spirit in His works with me, I find myself teetering on a tight rope. The best part of Trinity is the growth that He allows me. I don't need to put my running shoes on nor dust off my feet and move to the next town.
