Tis the season of parties!
Gifts (as you may or may not know) is my (J's) love language. So, after we attended a Jack and Jill held by the Village Community Church I felt very loved. A huge thank you to Denise who hosted it! One lady even painted a beautiful big clock that says "Every second is of infinite value" - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. So true. As I watch my life fly by at extreme speed at the moment, I'm remembering to not cut God out of the picture.
I'm studying "Knowing God" right now as part of a small group and it has been very challenging in this regard.
Even in full time ministry, I have to ask myself - do I KNOW God, or just of God. There is a difference. We are only at the second chapter and I am convicted!
One way to test if you are someone who knows God, do you:
1) have great energy for God
2) have great thoughts of God
3) show great boldness for God
4) have great contentment in God
Am I content in God, even if we can't find a house that easily? Even if the life as I know it is coming to an end and I am saying my goodbyes? Even if I had every good thing on earth given to me, will I still see God as my everything, as my first love, my first priority?
It's a challenge for me, especially when there are other things crowding Him out.
May I never forsake my first love, and may I sing songs in my heart to HIM always.
