Well I'm very sorry to any of you who are still following along. Two weeks ago was a perfect example of how easily life can get busy and priorities can be misplaced. One thing lead to another, a set back here and there, and time had ran out. I spent the previous week in the Dominican Republic which would be a great excuse if I was there for missions work but instead I was there for a much needed vacation. I spent a lot time in prayer next to the beach and caught up on some reading that I had been wanting to get done. The trip was a huge success.
Still I feel guilty for not posting through the best section of our 28 days together. The book of Luke had a lot to teach us in the last 6 chapters that we read. Looking at the parables Jesus taught as well as the example he set to his disciples, we can see so much into the person that was Christ. A genuine loving man who came to save us all; we could see frustration and compassion as he proclaimed truth everywhere he went. Christ recognized urgency and excluded no one. My ministry has an image of the people it is seeking. The problem is that image excludes people and to be like Christ is to love people in a genuine way. Love like that can be offensive to people, because the message we are bringing calls for Life Change. Christ set the ultimate example of love by going to an embarrassing torturous death on the cross.
I pray that I seek the true love of Christ and learn to replicate it in my life towards others. I hope everyone has enjoyed this. I've loved my first experience with blogging and hope to one day do this again. I appreciate the chance to remember the importance of meditating on scripture and grow in my relationship with Christ.
God Bless,
Nick
