Power of Pentecost… | Discipleship Playbook

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life:

~ Psalm 23:5-6a

WOW! This Pentecost morning requires an unanticipated Christian Playbook post…

Just when it seems our series on At the End is done for now, a missive from a dear friend arrives, highlighting a CAC posting summary. In that summary is this post with life-altering perspective using the story and words of Etty Hillesum

Amidst the incredible feast of ideas from Etty Hillesum is this:

“Ultimately, we have just one moral duty: to reclaim large areas of peace in ourselves, more and more peace, and to reflect it toward others. And the more peace there is in us, the more peace there will also be in our troubled world.” ~ Etty Hillesum

PRAYER: “Oh, Lord, let me feel at one with myself. Let me perform a thousand daily tasks with love, but let every one spring from a greater central core of devotion and love.” ~ Etty Hillesum

May you reclaim large areas of peace in yourself, more and more peace, and reflect it toward others, filled with the Spirit! (thanks be to God for Etty’s wisdom contained within this blessing)

PROSPECTIVE ACTIVITY: with Etty’s words in mind, spend time with the last two pages of the At the End document (HERE). What activities can bring you and others the most love and peace on your Best Last Day? Which of these activities can you do today? Why not have that enjoyment again and again, prior to that last day?
