Over the last couple of weeks I have been immersed in two different books: "Bo's Cafe" by John Lynch and "True Faced" by John Lynch, Bill Thrall and Bruce McNicol. Both books talk of the importance of being part of a community of Grace.
Bo's Cafe is a story and TrueFaced is a teachin book, both easy reads with not so easy heart lessons to learn. I love them both, and to be honest still processing much of what is writen in these books.
TrueFaced talks of each of us having a choice of two paths that we must walk. One "Pleasing God" and the other marked "Trusting God". As Christians we typically will choose the pleasing God (after all that He has done for us); but the book does well to articulate that it is our trusting in Him that pleases Him. (Hebrews 11:6 says "without faith it is impossible to please God). I am seeing the importance of deepening our level of trust in God.
There is alot more I would like to say and I will most likely write more tomorrow about the differences between these two paths and where the paths lead, but for now ... I wonder, if you had a choice, (and you didnt know where each path led to) - which path would you take: the path marked "Pleasing God" or the path marked "Trusting God"?
That's all for now

Oh that's what you were talking about this morning, cool.
I think that, given what I know now, I would pick the "Trusting God" path b/c technically the "Pleasing God" path is not really a path at all but something that the "Trusting God" path leads to.
