Forgive me that I change to English as the yesterday sermon was in English. I would like to keep the original wording used by the speaker.

The phrase "the path of barrenness" caught me yesterday. Barrenness has been an interesting theological term which associates with God's promise to Abraham. The impossible becomes the possible. It's from incapability of bearing a child to the father of all nations. God initiates the promise and Abraham trusts it. This is the faith of Abraham. God declares Abraham as righteous person not because of what Abraham did but his faith.

It's not easy to have faith all the time. That's why we need relationship. The road is full of rocks and stumbling blocks and simply is not designed to walk individually. Bearing the barrenness is a painful process, and yet, is the only way we realize that we need to fully depend on God.

I finally find a phrase to describe my season now: the path of barrenness. It's time to letting go....
