There is a world of difference between heartburn and our hearts ‘burning’ within us.
One is to do with over-indulgence and greed, the other demands we get even more involved in the process of giving our lives and our hearts away
If we are honest we cannot ‘make’ anybody into a disciple of Christ, that is the work of the Holy Spirit. All we can do is to live lives that are so transformed by the Gospel of Christ that people want something of what we have.
Telling other people our beliefs is not easy, and when we do we need to do so with love and care but it is a task that must be done or how else will people know who we are?
In popular culture to surrender involves giving up and failure. In the Christian journey to surrender is to place ourselves in the hands of our Beloved and find their purpose and meaning
