One of my friends saw this blog and asked me that the other day. She understood that I've always considered myself a Christian, but have recently become more active in trying to live out my faith for Jesus. Lately, I've considered myself to be really touched by the words of Scripture and just trying to become an active member of God's land. It's such a compelling experience that when she asked me, I couldn't help but answer in anything other than this:
Jesus is so good. I'm finally connecting with the idea that He wants his followers to know him like the man he died to be. He wants us to seek him over and over again. Continue seeking until we reach every avenue- even then we will NEVER understand all of his greatness. I have begun following Jesus, continued following Jesus and practicing his words, living my faith because it's the one thing that's keeping me grounded. I follow Him because the message- the security of His love is just like a fever I don't ever want to shake. Ever. I know that sounds like a cheesy expression, but I can't put it in any other words than this.
I've done a lot of thinking lately who I was before this journey started- before I made the decision to reinvest and ignite my relationship with God. I've been thinking back a lot to last semester. Honestly, my whole mindset was different than what it is right now. My perspective on the world is always changing and through every challenge, I know God is there reaching down inside of my soul and motivating me forward. There's something filling, some kind of thirst that is filled over and over again in knowing that I can seek Him. There's a lot of work in bible study this week about personally increasing your faith and asking God to increase it for us. I cannot tell you how many times I've asked Him to keep coming at me full force. I want nothing more than His grace, his love, and to prove my devotion.
What makes me follow Jesus? Truth. Hope. Love. Comfort. Awesomeness. The journey of life.
I still feel like I'm on a high with this whole process- renewed every single day. Every time I sit down to read the words of scripture and tackle with myself, I feel God guiding me through the pages, pointing me toward the greater missions. I am blessed for this chance beyond belief. I feel the best I have in a long time.
I only wish I could share this strength, His comfort with my family. I'll continue praying. Always.
I hope everyone's doing well out there! You deserve the best.
Romans 4:17
With Hope.
