I can't help but be stirred in my faith with the thought of my Savior's death on the cross and resurrection. The true question lies in whether I will fan the fire that God has graciously started yet again, or just let it die and continue in the mundane. In my pursuit to grow in this relationship with Jesus Christ I am being pushed to know Him and seek Him out more and more. I was listening to a sermon where the pastor was talking with the Lord and He had the pastor describe his wife to Him in detail, so he proceeded to describe his wife from head to toe. Then the Lord asked him to describe her character/personality traits, and he did this as well. Then the Lord said describe me, and the pastor was able to say a few things but really wasn't able to go into that much detail and was only able to talk for a short time. This is a reality among many of us in relationship with Jesus Christ. We call ourselves believers and we make our checklist of reading our Bibles, praying and going to church; but isn't what sets Christianity apart from any other form of religion the fact that we can have a relationship with our God. I don't know about you, but most of the people in my life that I have a relationship with I could describe them to some extent. My prayer lately has been to grow in the knowledge of God.
So with all that said right now God is taking me down the path of servanthood and justice. Jesus so clearly portrays servanthood and it is most evident the night he washed His disciples feet. I am also learning how God is a just God, but this is very new for me so it's a stretching experience to try and read about His justice and have an open mind while doing so. I am so thankful I know my God is a patient teacher for times like these 🙂 If anyone has passages on these attributes of God I would love for you to leave a comment! I will be sure to keep updating as I continue to study and meditate on my Father's words.
