“Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom, and to turn away from evil is understanding.” Job28.28 ESV
Jesus lives with singular focus and He would give it to us if we were to share His joy and see our joy complete. That focus is simply for us to live in such a way that the Father enjoys us because we are enjoying Him. Every thought, and every action should flow out of this inward prompting of the Spirit. The fact that we often regard such a life as overly spiritual, impractical even impossible are some of the reasons why we fall short of it. And while we will not, indeed cannot in this life experience, at least uninterrupted, this mutual enjoyment; it still remains the only path of everlasting joy. Rather than focus on this limitation let us deepen our reliance on the Spirit of Christ in us. He promises to help us with our next step and is always inviting us to enter in and enjoy. To follow His prompting is to enjoy all that God is for us, in a cup of coffee, a book, a conversation, our work, our play and by all means our relationship with others. 7/30/2008 ts
Just me trying to be honest with God.
