This is so good. I’ve been thinking recently about the concept of being a “sailboat” vs. being a “rowboat.” When we (churches, families, individuals) are rowboats, we attempt to set our own direction and generate our own energy. When we are sailboats, we hoist the sails to catch the wind - something completely beyond our power to influence.
It seems like the difference between following and charting our own course.
