I'm a little late getting this one out, but prep for this Sunday is Romans 5:1-5, a truly remarkable reflection of Paul's on the nature of God and the experience of living out discipleship by grace through faith!
We often bring to Church our best selves, and accomplishments for the approval of God and everybody else. This passage encourages us to consider suffering, trial, doubt as potentially positive aspects of living out faith.
Perhaps instead of turning to God with requests to deliver us from trial, we should be praying that we grow out of and through it, and somehow, grow in our understanding that God is the one who transforms our lives?
Food for thought...hmmn, communion anyone?
