Members and Friends of Austin Mennonite Church
I pray you are reassured in your spirit as you continue your journey of
faith.
The mystery of God’s supervision of human interactions perplexes us. We
do not easily recognize direct divine engagement. We console ourselves
by affirming all actions which seem to promote what we believe about
God’s intention for relationship, attributing these either to the
indirect work of God through human enterprise or to God’s hidden
intervention to move processes toward a divinely established objective
without the cooperation of human agency. Sometimes we feel it is all too
uncertain. The practice of ordering our lives by the wisdom inside our
hearts is sometimes too difficult, too uncomfortable, too eccentric. We
are caused to feel out of place, foolish, and awkward. Yet we know there
is really no other option for us. Our need to live in relationship with
God overpowers us. In spite of the uncertainty, we continue to have hope
that the perceptions in our spirit are true and eventually this kind of
life will be established. We can boast that we look forward to the glory
of God being revealed. These thoughts will compose the sermon for next
Sunday, 'Committing our cause to God'
We will also congratulate the persons who have graduated during the past
year while we are together for worship.
May it go well with you. Sincerely,
Garland Robertson
