V24 – says we are to strive to enter through the narrow door, for many will try to enter and will not be able.

I’m reading a book that relates to this, what got you here won’t get you there–it talks about how upper levels of a corporation are made up of equally competent people. They are distinguishable not by their technical knowledge or skills but by their character. The hard part is to convince a ceo that his/ her character is holding him/her back

We accept Christ and he goes to work on transforming us and we cooperate. And at first it’s obvious surface level stuff. And then we’ve pretty much mastered that. we get to a level where it’s deep deep work in awareness of what we lack and discipline and humility to let the work happen there too.

We keep working and keep allowing the Holy Spirit to work in us. Let’s be soft and teachable.
