I guess I’d  have to face this eventually. Taking up more roles in the kingdom would inevitably bring me to face the stark reality of the situation. How a sinner like me could ever do God’s holy work is really beyond me, I feel like there’s this immense gulf between who I am and who I’m supposed to be, and try as I might,  just can’t reconcile this gulf.

But now that I look at this, it kinda reminds me of the bridge diagram doesn’t it? I guess that’s why I still need Christ, like how I’ve needed him all along. Suddenly I’m reminded of John 15:5

“I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.

Father I confess, I am nothing without you.
