Our journey with God is a lifelong pursuit. We don't accept Christ and then forget about it...we don't show up on a Sunday and call it good. If we want to live the way God has called us to live, our journey must be a daily walk with God. We don't do this to mark off a checklist or make sure our works are somehow "good enough"- no! We chase after God's heart daily because of how much He has loved us, and how much we love Him. We know and believe that God's ways are perfect, so we spend our days chasing and imitating His love. We practice kindness, show self-control, speak truth in love, stand up for those who are weak, and give to those in need. We will always struggle with sin, and have days where we fail, but we will never give up pursuing God and making an effort to be like Him. If you've been in a spiritual rut lately, remember you were created for a divine purpose. Remember how much God adores you and wants you to represent Him in this world. Pray that He will refresh your soul, renew your spirit, and help you live your life to the fullest in Him.
"He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?" Micah 6:8 (ESV)
Journey on!
