Coming to Ourselves

Fellow Labourers-

Coming to ourselves is an important part of living a purposeful life. When we don't know who we are or understand the journey we are taking our life can seem empty and circular. But, how do we come to ourselves? For some of us it may be deliberate whilst for some of us it may be circumstantial. However it happens is irrelevant, what is important is that it is a genuine experience that draws us nearer to our God.

As I read today's article it becomes even clearer to me how important it is for us to know the Rock from whence we were hewned. Not only is it important for us to know the Rock, but it is also necessary for us to let those who are coming after us have a clear understanding of why we hold to this Rock. We cannot now be giving uncertain sounds which causes confusion and uncertainty to those who are still seeking to come to themselves. Today I ask myself Are there any distinctive features that makes me Apostolic? To which drumbeat am I marching? Am I seeking to be a part of the crowd or am I coming to the realization that indeed I am different? It's a great thought to know that even in the pigpen, we can come to ourselves.
