Lessons

I feel like God has been teaching me a lot lately. I have felt humbled at His patience for me, and the baby steps He takes with me to lead me towards a better understanding of faith and a closer relationship with Christ.

I am a willing learner now, it is not something that I always have been. Sometimes it's easier to just say 'I get it' and move on with my life. But then I'm not really moving anywhere, I'm just sitting still trying to tell myself that I understand. These days, I try to spend some time before or during or after reading my Bible just sitting and focusing on my Saviour. I push aside the time, the work ahead of me that day, the newspaper I want to read before I start work, and everything else that clutters my mind.

This I would recommend as a very good idea. I wouldn't even call it prayer time, because that is separate. This seems revolutionary to me, yet I'm guessing this time of quiet reflection is something a lot of people build into their study time.
Anyway, it's been good.
