“Waste nothing”

38. Christ, The Master Builder
What it DOES mean: A cooperative relationship between us and Holy Spirit. His job is to lead, guide, direct. Our job is to follow His job is to empower. Ours is to step out in faith His job is to give us SPIRITUAL GIFTS Our job is to DISCOVER and DEVELOP them His job is to impart life. Our job is to embrace it. His job is to work IN us and THROUGH us Our job is to work OUT that which He has worked IN. We cannot do what only He can do. He will not do what He has called us to do. We work TOGETHER.

Heavy carpentry…is no solitary occupation. Partners quickly accomplish jobs that would be difficult for a lone worker…working in tandem also offers the intangible benefit of companionship. Shared work also encourages the shared pride of watching a house rise form the floor joists to ridge board.
