Asleep at the Teet


It occurred to me that much of my life is spent asleep at the teet.

God is always there

He is always wanting to pour out his blessings on me

He wants me to grow

He wants me to trust

He wants me to love

He wants to nourish me with all the fullness that comes from life in Him

The nipple's in my mouth

But I just don't suck

Don't be so hard on yourself. If it's any consolation, I've always thought that you suck. And probably more than most people. I'm sure anyone who reads your blog would agree that you suck.

This reminds me of when Shane Claiborne is talking about disproving of the whole God Bless America thing. God has already said who he will bless (i.e. Matt 5) What we need to do is surround ourselves with those people, take advantage of those situations. Then we won't have to ask for God's blessing on something, he'll already be giving it to us.
Ps. If it's any consolation, I feel this way alot, sometimes while looking back at oppurtunites that I had. Clay
