Another key

Francis Frangipane

Another key I've learned is this: Often, the flaw that initially angered me about my church or city is the very reality where God desired I become Christlike. Upon first seeing the need, typically, my flesh reacted with criticism. But if I repent of just finding fault – if I pray and submit myself to Christ’s heart – I soon discover there are many ways for me to participate in redeeming this situation, all of which fuel my spiritual growth. Indeed, by approaching the area of need with Christ’s redemptive heart, the flawed reality I initially criticized ultimately became the land of my anointing.
