Such a good post, Sarah. I had never heard of cover crops — this analogy is awesome. I have been the person you described in your last post, and striving comes easy for me. In the last 5 years or so the Father has continually brought me back to this simple theme: intimacy. Seek Him first, delight myself in Him, desire Him, pursue closeness. It’s so simple and yet very counterintuitive when you’ve operated in a striving, perfectionist, critical, religious manner for many years. I too often forget and act more like a Pharisee than a daughter. He is so good and faithful! His response to your question (thank you for sharing!) was a reminder I needed and makes my heart burn with desire for greater intimacy!
Girl, we are on the same path and it’s truly a rebellion against culture. I’m sort of surprised how seeking Him first in everything can be the solution it is! Right? It’s excruciating at times to trust Him and let Him bring us through all that He does to cultivate even greater faith but the refining of my faith as a result makes it easier for me to stop striving. I always love your insights and comments! Thank you for sharing. I pray you feel blessed and inspired today in everything you do, even if it’s rest!
