Clay in the Hands

It is hard to believe that I have been on this Camino de Santiago Primitivo journey for 10 days. If I stay on track, I will have 3 more days of walking to get to Santiago de Compostela. As I said early on, it will take months to process all that has been experienced along the way.

But each morning, I begin the day’s journey in prayer, asking Jesus to speak to me. I felt drawn to this walk to experience a renewed closeness to Him and for clarity of His calling moving forward in ministry.

Many of you know me and know that I can have great expectations – something like signs from heaven and handwriting on the wall kind of expectations.

But as I was praying for Jesus to speak to me this morning, I felt Him answer, “You are my child – I love you. Rest in that and let that be enough for now.”

At first, I struggled. Is that it? Seems pretty basic. But as I have wrestled with my thoughts today, I have been reminded that so often, I am about “doing.”

“God, tell me what you want me to do,” is a common cry of mine. But Jesus reminded me that He cares more about who I am than what I do – we are, after all, human beings not human doings.

So for today, that has been enough.

I wonder about you? Is that enough? No matter what you are going through or facing right now, all that really matters is that you are His child and that you know you are loved by the God of the universe.

¡Buen Camino!
