Climbing the Mountain
"You cannot stay on the summit
forever; you have to come down again. So why bother in the first place? Just
this: What is above knows what is below, but what is below does not know what
is above. One climbs, one sees. One descends, one sees no longer, but one has
seen. There is an art of conducting oneself in the lower regions by the memory
of what one saw higher up. When one can no longer see, one can at least still
know." - René Dumal
During my walk with God I find that
this is also true.
For me, our mission trips have been a climb. At the summit being entirely in Gods hands... When we experience
the exhilaration of being where ’God is at work’ and being allowed to witness
that work that is the all too short time at the summit. You can’t stay there forever but ‘you know’…
you know in a very true sense, the love he has for us and the feeling of his
real presence. When you return to your daily life it is a trial, because you've experienced something so powerful and so life altering its hard to describe to others.
