So, this may be slightly similar to my last posting, but it's MY blog and I get to do what I want, so HA! Recently, I've felt like God has blessed me by showing me what the life of a follower of Christ can be. He's showed me the peace, hope, and joy that we have through Him and our relationship with Him; He's showed me His redeeming power and how He is willing to accept us when we come back to Him; and He's shown me that He has great plans for the lives of his followers. It's been great to see these things, but then, on the other hand, I've also seen that I don't possess a lot of this. So although it's great to further realize the life a Christian can have as a follower of Christ, it's been difficult to see that I don't have a lot of it.
So what's the answer to this. Can I magically conjure up more love for God and a deeper, more personal relationship? Well . . . no. So where does that put me? Well, it puts me in one of the hardest, but also best, places one can be put - in reliance on God. I know that I lack some of the awesome things God and His Holy Spirit provide through a relationship with Jesus, things that go beyond the material. But I also know that I am asking the most powerful being ever to help me with those things and provide them for me. So I'll keep praying to know God more, to love Him more, and to experience a deeper, closer, more intimate relationship with Him that leads to a changed heart and a greater sense of peace and satisfaction in my life. I know God works in His own timing, but hopefully He'll get crackin' on this one pretty quickly :)
