In between – the place we find Jesus

In between things. I’m starting to settle into a bit of a routine at the moment. Though truth be told, right now, I’m feeling a bit distracted.

How much longer? How much longer do we continue in this in between place?

We’re in this place of almost, but not quite. We’ve left the place we were, but haven’t yet arrived where we’re going. How do we move through this part of the journey?

There’s a story in the Bible where Jesus talks to some of his followers. They’ve been fishing and they’re done for the day. But Jesus invites them to do the work one more time. To cast out their net. They had tried all night with no results. A gut reaction would be to simply say no, we’re done. But they don’t. They follow Jesus’ lead and find a boatload of fish. (See John 21:1-6)

Sometimes, when we get to the end of our rope, or in the disciples’ case, to the end of their net, that’s just the place Jesus wants to meet us.

Just a little further.

Sometimes when we run out of our own strength, we find the place where Jesus invites us to walk in His.

So if you feel you’re at the end of your rope in this season, you might just be where God can show up and shine through.

   seek his face always.” Psalm 105:4 NIV
