The more I pursue God by reading His Word and relating to Him daily, the more clearly I see His will being worked out in my life, and the more I see wisdom and understanding I’m blessed with (some times just the ability to accept without understanding the “why” all the while being at peace about it). I know following God has its benefits, but none more so than knowing I’m fulfilling my purpose by loving Him and experiencing His grace. These blessings help me be more effective in the world. It gives me answers to my problems as well as others’ problems too. I can help others by listening, understanding their conflict, and give them truthful, honest, and time-proven methods to rectify their issues. It keeps me grounded and yet at the same time grants me wings to fly above the noise experiencing views never seen before. Do you feel the same way?
9 So we have not stopped praying for you since we first heard about you. We ask God to give you complete knowledge of His will and to give you spiritual wisdom and understanding. 10 Then the way you live will always honor and please the Lord, and your lives will produce every kind of good fruit. All the while, you will grow as you learn to know God better and better. 11 We also pray that you will be strengthened with all His glorious power so you will have all the endurance and patience you need. May you be filled with joy, 12 always thanking the Father. He has enabled you to share in the inheritance that belongs to His people, who live in the light. 13 For He has rescued us from the kingdom of darkness and transferred us into the Kingdom of His dear Son, 14 who purchased our freedom and forgave our sins.
Colossians 1:9-14
