My face is itchy.
I haven't shaved in a week, and I have significant amounts of stubble on the surface of my face. The stubble is uncomfortable and rather vindictive. I find often that it tries to tangle itself in zippers and Velcro to which I come in contact with. All of this is surprising to me, as I am in an unplanned, unanticipated process of growing a beard.
Giving birth to something is painful and costly.
The beard is costing me itchiness and discomfort. It is constantly costing me focus as it offers me a bit of distraction. It is costing me something, but hopefully the cost will give birth to something.
In the same way, there is a cost associated with following Jesus. Its difficult and trying, however, there is reward as our following Him does produce real and authentic life.
So if you're itching ... just know it might mean you're growing and changing (or you might just need some lotion).
