On Saturday night I volunteered at an International Justice Mission benefit dinner. Their Director of Church Mobilization asked me what motivated me to give up a Saturday. My thought was, "Are you kidding? I love being around you guys, and you're actually on my side of the continent this weekend!" Thankfully, my response was a bit more articulate: "I'm a big supporter of IJM and care deeply about justice, and I would love to work for IJM someday."
The evening was a healing occasion personally, one of the many reasons being the live music of Sara Groves and David Hodges. I added three more of Sarah's CDs to my collection. Her thoughtful lyrics betray an English degree. Reclining in my little Kia before tromping into the convalescent home this afternoon, this line from her newest CD, "Invisible Empires" filled my brain and heart:
"Pain is not a measure of His faithfulness."
...
So true. So timely. Still another thing to process: How have I been measuring His faithfulness?
