Decisions

I was asked to do something today that I am probably the right person to do. Something that in some ways would be very natural to me I believe, but in other ways might be very hard and play on many of my weaknesses. Regardless of that, it is probably meant that I should do it.

I was asked for help today by a man who has carried the weight of this city on his shoulders far longer than I have, who has spent fifteen years struggling with how to follow Jesus in the midst of the least of these, who has had a very hard year this past.

"You have crowned the year with Your goodness" the Psalmist said.

and so He has.

Sometimes the only real question is who is available to do what needs to be done. And right now, maybe that someone is just me. And God will work out the timing of things.
