Let us be content to be weak and powerless, realizing that, when we are poor in spirit, we receive power from God’s Holy Spirit. Not having the eye of faith provided by God’s Spirit, the world sees the discipleship in The Way as an resolvable and uncomfortable paradox. To one called by God, the paradoxes of God trump anything the around-and-about has to offer. <\/p>\n
