Gifts for me aren’t necessarily ones I expect to receive. Today I was given a precious package wrapped in reality, and inside of it was “lack”. To realize my lack was to understand my deficiency, to know I had nothing to offer and see my shortcomings. The impact upon my heart was precise. I could feel a cutting away of pride and determination to be independent. This wonderful gift was an invitation to keep letting go of my own ability and embrace humility.
Joh 15:5 “Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in Me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from Me you can do nothing.”
