A few years back Perry saw a friend request on Facebook. It looked suspect. He thought, “ I should delete it.” Bit he clicked and what he saw were images he’ll still can’t unsee. Metaphorically he gouged out his eyes because he never wants to fall like that again and because Jesus is his King.

When Shawna stuffs her anxiety, it tends to come out sideways – at people who don’t deserve it.  David, in Psalm 139, models how to invite God to search our hearts and lead us in the way everlasting.

The only way to come to Jesus is in unconditional surrender. For Perry he didn’t want to surrender his pride before he first came to Jesus. Though he did get past it to first come to Jesus, he’s had to humble himself many times since to go deeper with Jesus.  

When Shawna can’t see what’s around the corner, she reminds herself of God’s faithfulness in the past. By looking back she is filled with faith for what’s ahead.

We have our jobs, our families, our friends. Perry’s being humbled in a couple of these lanes in his life. He feels like he’s going to be humiliated. But he’s rediscovering this truth that it’s in the low places that we discover Jesus.

And last, what Aslan from The Chronicles of Narnia teaches us about unconditional surrender to Jesus.
