Written by Eugene Peterson (1932-2018), an American minister, scholar, theologian, author, and poet. This is an excerpt from his book “Under the Unpredictable Plant.”
If we want to change our way of life, acquiring the right image is more important than exercising willpower. Willpower is a notoriously sputtery engine on which to rely for internal energy. But a right image silently and inexorably pulls us into its field of reality, which is also a field of energy.
I can do all things through him who strengthens me. [Philippians 4:13]
