If you have been following my Dispatch for any length of time, you know I am a big fan of James Clear. Clear is the author of Atomic Habits, an amazing book that made my “must read” list last week. Recently, James had this in one of his writings:
Your identity can hold you back:
If you want the fruit of your life to be love, water the root, not the fruit. Dig deep. Abide in Jesus. He is the vine, we are the branches. Abide in His love. Drink it in through your very roots.
Read MoreThink and process for a moment the state of Christianity and our World. Seems divided, and separate to me. For the most part I see people more passionate about what the are against as opposed to what they are for.
