I want to suggest that our lives, our stories, our maturity are not finally about us.
The aim of this Parts Work series is not to achieve a new spiritual height. Nor is it to create yet another template for the self-life.
Rather, the aim is Christ. To love him with all of our heart, mind, soul, and strength. And to engage our world for the well-being of others in union with Christ.
“It is no longer I who live—but Christ lives in me.” (St. Paul)
It is the wholehearted soul who is truly free and able to let God be the center of his story.
Let's recover this ancient way together.
For the Kingdom,
Morgan
