What to you all is an all important task for the body of Christ. Once we have moved onto maturity, feeding on the meat of the word, worshiping in spirit and truth through much suffering and experiencing the joy of the Lord. All of these listed above are to be constant and consistent in our lives God gave us, along with humility, thankfulness and praise. In your heart of hearts, what is the spirit pressing on you to fulfill?
What I see, because He loved us first, is to love each other as He loves us. I am very thankful for Ray, Mike and the people involved in this forum to have a place where we can share our thoughts with like minded believers. We must truly follow Jesus, not in mere words, but in action. And love is everything I see in Him. It's His character, being and persona.
As we all know in each of our lives, for Him to love and forgive a one such as me is a miracle indeed! For us to grow and grow to become more and more like Him with the love, forgiveness, mercy, patience and longsuffering that He is, seems to be our ultimate goal, our reason for being, the direction in which we are being created.
If you all agree with this or have other thoughts, I would like to hear them.
God bless you all.
