For anyone who reads this...I just wanted to share something with y'all that I think I'm slowly starting to learn. I've been thinking a bit about people in general, life choices, personalities, and how things change in the course of life...and somewhere in the course of my random thought processes, I got to wondering and connecting thoughts, at least about my own life. And I think somewhere in there I had a revelation. It went something like this:
Will I let others define me? > Shouldn't I define myself before they do and stay true to who I am? > Who am I? > Shouldn't I strive to be like Christ in all ways? > In order to strive to be like Christ, wouldn't you have to know who He is and what He's like? > If you wanted to know who He is and what He's like, shouldn't you first know Him? {by reading His word}
I don't know...but it just kind of hit me today how important a relationship with Christ is, especially for Christians. In order to "know" Him, I have to spend time with Him and want to be with Him. And then maybe...maybe on my way to being marvelled constantly by who HE IS, I'll find out more and more who I am. {Which is small and insignificant.}
I've heard it said before, "A woman should be so lost in Christ that a man should seek Christ to find her", but I think that applies here too, in a way. Well, that's my two cents, if you will. Take it or leave it. I'm done with life lessons. For now. I'll never be done with life lessons. Maybe I'll be done blogging about life lessons...the lessons themselves should never end. ... Then I'd be dead. And they'd be death lessons. And that sounds morbid. ...or maybe I should just stop rambling.
Ciao, and God bless you!
