Thousands of years ago a young Chinese emperor called upon his family’s most trusted advisor. “Oh, learned counselor,” said the emperor, “you have advised my father and grandfather. What is the single most important advice you can give me to rule my country?”
And Confucius replied, “The first thing you must do is to define the problem.”
Many unhappy people cannot put their finger on what is really causing their distress. Many unfulfilled people cannot even tell you what it would take to satisfy them.
Many of us have no clear idea or conception what our real needs, our real desires, and our real priorities are. And because we have never defined the problem or clarified our goals, we spend a lifetime anxiously wandering with very little to show for the pilgrimage.

Just about everyone today thinks they are defining the problem? Might it be that just about everyone, because of their own personal biases, is missing the problem?
JESUS MEETS US WHERE WE ARE, NOT WHERE WE PRETEND TO BE!
