"If life is a river, then pursuing Christ requires swimming upstream. When we stop swimming, or actively following Him, we automatically begin to be swept downstream."
Francis Chan
The words of Francis Chann remind us that following Jesus is not effortless. At times, it takes great effort - but it is effort that is fueled by our passion for Him. Think of it in terms of the Christmas story. Mary had to swim through her questions. Joseph had to swim through his fears. The shepherds had to swim through their limited understanding. But each one of them was captured by their love of the Savior.
