Missionary Beatitude:
Blessed are the flexible for they will not break.
I heard this “flexible” word all the time as a short term team leader from our missions pastor and the missionaries. I even taught my team members that we had to be flexible, as if I knew what I was talking about!
Well God is certainly showing me what it really means to be flexible according to Him!
- by stripping away all that is familiar and comfortable to me
- placing me in very uncomfortable situations
- through a culture that is different than mine and mine to them
- loving those who may be difficult to love
