[Discoveries] 11-06-08 Pixie dust -- Luke 12:20

[Inspiration in Your Inbox]

/*... who will get what you have prepared for yourself? -- Luke 12:20*/

In the Disney version of Peter Pan, Peter is puzzled because Wendy 
cannot fly. He cannot figure it out, until it dawns on him that she was 
never sprinkled with pixie dust.

Like Wendy before pixie dust, money keeps us earthbound until it is 
given to God. Like tentacles reaching up from the grave, so also the 
lies we believe about money twist and tangle around us, until we cannot 
escape their gravitational pull without God mercifully hacking us free.

What do we truly believe? Money is the meter that reveals the content of 
our hearts. What are we, for example, without stylish clothing, a newer 
car or a nice house in the suburbs? What damage will we sustain if those 
things are taken away from us?

(I realize that our readers come from many countries and many cultures, 
so you may have to substitute something that makes more sense for your 
culture.)

Where exactly is the fear line in your heart? I know where mine is. And 
why does God sometimes pull us across it?

Let me suggest that He wants to show us the truth we never quite grasped 
before: He is on the other side. Our fears seem so real, but they are 
illusions. God is the reality.

It seems like we will plunge into the recklessness of giving all alone. 
But we are not alone. He is there to catch us.

Be encouraged!
Dwight

What happens when you partner with Dwight Clough Ministries? Victims of 
violent crimes and survivors of abuse are finding peace, wholeness, the 
power to forgive and the strength to set boundaries. Those ensnared by 
addictions are finding freedom. Marriages are being restored. Families 
are strengthened. Christian brothers and sisters in restricted lands who 
face persecution are finding strength and encouragement. Young believers 
are learning how to walk with the Lord, and people are coming into the 
faith for the first time. None of this happens as a result of one 
person's efforts, but rather this is God's work as He blesses the 
sacrifice of many people including yourself. We partner with you, with 
other ministries, and, most significantly, with the Lord. That's how the 
supernatural happens.
