Today, I don't have any examples or stories. Sure, it could be because I'm trapped in my apartment, but I choose to disagree. I've been scrounging my brain. What I typically write about is seeing what God is doing around me, what he is teaching me, and what I'm going through with him. And I've come to one strong realization. A slap in the face. A few solid days of not being in the Word takes my focus off Jesus.
Being in the Word makes me constantly think about him, put others before myself, and see him around me in people, places, and moments. Having an active, living relationship with God means that I spend time with him.
Spending a lot of time with a friend rubs off on me. We acquire the same sayings, are able to finish one another's sentences, develop many similar thoughts, and come to treat people with the same regard. In quite the same fashion, I read what God is like and it rubs off on me. I read how he treats others, and I strive to do the same. I read what he commands of me, all being for my best interest, and, again, I strive to follow. And last, but most certainly not least, I read of his love for me, the grace he bestows upon me and am able to face this crazy, shattered world grasped in the hands of my Father.
Time for me to go spend some time with my Jesus.
