What can I say to you?
I see your hard work. I see your determination, your “never quit” attitude. And does this make me proud?
What can I say to you?
On the one hand, I am glad, but on the other—I am not.
What can I say to you?
In the same breath, I see your “self-confidence,” your “self-effort,“ your "self-will." And you are exhausted.
What can I say to you?
Come and share in my joy! For I have a way that is more efficient...
So this is what I say to you...
Yes, the actual work that needs to be done is of the Spirit, not of the flesh; by love, not of self.
So like the blind beggar, I "pray" you realize your utter dependence, and in this helplessness learn to depend on the One above. And in this hopeful trust, you will find rest.
Love,
-WUL-
