Pilgrim Soldier

Soon after arriving in Latvia almost 5 years ago I learnt a lesson that has stayed with me ever since. The Latvian words for disciple and apprentice are exactly the same - māceklis.

I’m happy to be a disciple of Christ, seeking to follow His ways and live a life that is worthy of Him.

But I also have to admit that I am an apprentice, that I make lots of mistakes and the quality of my work is usually not up to the standards that Christ’s example sets us. However, I am apprenticed under a Master Craftsman who is always guiding my hands in the work that He has set me!
