I know it's been awhile and I didn't think that I would post on here but I have something on my mind. Sunday, we visited a new church in the area, one that David's parents had heard about. They were in town for the weekend. It's not so much about what the pastor said, but what the guy said you gave a testamony.
He said that for the past few years he hadn't grown in his relationship with God much. He said that he was waiting for something to happen and it never did. After speaking with the pastor about his struggles, the pastor commented that he didn't need to have an experience to experience God, but that the man needed to invite God into his daily activities. Instead of asking for God to come to him, like we tend to do when we want something from Him, we need to ask for him to live fully through us. I know that I have heard similiar message like this in the past, but this one hit home with me. Sometimes I feel like I am not growing and that God is so far away, but the reality is he is here with me if I would just ask him to live through me. I know that I am not doing justice to the significance of the story, but it's been a few days. I realized that my problem is even though I know God is here with me, most of the time I treat him like he is hundreds of miles away. If I would stop acting like I am alone, and start acknowledging that he is here, maybe I would start growing. Just something to think about.
