Genesis 32:21-32

Once upon a time, God brought us to His house and into His fold. It is a wonderful things being brought into the house of God, but it is whole another thing getting to know the God of the house. God wants to take us beyond mere salvation. He wants to bless us and use us for His purposes, but often that takes a bit of wrestling. He has to get us to lay down our own lives before He builds us back up again in His glorious image.
