When Jesus thwarts our plans
it’s a BLESSing. Huh? And when He gives us what we want, it’s a CURSE. Huh? YES. The same Curse that humans have experienced since The Fall. When we get what we WANT, our flesh is stroked in confidence-we-know-what’s-best, so we pray for more of what we WANT, and work really harrrd to get what we WANT, and we become hopeless control-addicts, living in denial of our addiction. Saltless. Fruitless. Seed cast on thorny soil that does not reproduce.
