We can only grow in Christ if we become discontent with who we are. Most times, this is not how it is. Many are fearful in ceasing to be who they are. And deafen the call.
To be of use to God we have to grow profoundly discontent. We have to yearn for deep change within. To really want to become more like Jesus.
Some imagine that Christian faith begins with believing about Jesus. But there is something even more basic. We have to become discontent with who, what and how we are. We have to begin a journey that does not simply recognise the Cross but that carries us into the Cross as the portal into resurrection life and witness. Pointing to the life that God is bringing us into.
