From and In

I had a great conversation today thinking back over my Christian walk and over some of the factors that contributed to what I did and how I got to this place now. It was really interesting to analyse some of these. It caused me to thank God for all He is and will ever be, but also to thank those people who have been strongholds in my life not least parents.

One of my key reflections was that I never really had a time where I hated God, I didn't rebel from faith. From since I can remember I always knew God was God, He was Creator, Father, Lord, and I always knew Jesus as Saviour and King. I didn't rebel from God but I feel I have and continued to rebel in 'faith.'

Those habitual sins that we just cannot shake of, the uncertainty of what others might say and think If I declared my faith, the chains that held me back!!! What might be the application for you!!

As I talked through this concept I realise I don't want to be rebel, I want to be a disciple. I don't want to be separated from, but in communion with God. I don't want to be a sinner, but a saint. Now I know perfection is unattainable but we should certainly strive for it!

I share this with you because I have made choices to rebel from God, trusting in myself, but I need to constantly resolve to being a follower, disciple and love of God. Will you join me in this journey as God calls us. To throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles and to fix our eyes on Jesus!
