In a culture that promotes independence and self-empowerment, we are taught to stand on our own two feet, to "pull ourselves up by our bootstraps." What happens, then, when we trip and fall? What happens when we realize we're weak, or weary, or lacking wisdom, direction, or strength? Let's learn to live out (and promote) a different posture: leaning. Leaning on Jesus.
