Well Said: You Can't Stay Here.

From my quote journal.
Jesus does not leave you where He finds you. He may come to you and throw his arms around you but then pretty soon He starts probing you. And pushing you and saying, "You can't stay here. If you stay here, you'll die." He always does that.
David Higbee, Gospel of John Study, St. Irenaeus Ministries

Look inward, young woman, look inward! :-D

I have had a few probes and pushes. But, also He has given me many a solid whack too. And, you know, I am more grateful for ALL those whacks too because they were out of love and got me sorted out.

I may have gotten this quote at your site. But, I'll shate it anyway...

"Treading water isn't good enough. There is a continual tide of the human condition that can carry us away. If we're not actively trying to move forward, then we're falling behind."
Father John Libone

I'd bet that you got it here because that is something our priest said at a scripture study I was at. :-)

Oh so true, isn't it?
