I trust your thanksgiving went well. The past two weeks we have discussed some very important pieces of our maturing process as Christians. Scott taught about simplifying your life to create the space for relationships with God and others. We cannot become mature followers of Christ if we have no margin in our life. Dave taught about the importance of engaging our losses through grief. Many of us have had our hearts buried by some kind of loss in our life. Our heart will stay in that buried space until we do the hard work of grief.
Are you simplifying your life to give relationship with God and others space to grow? What activities are you going to cut to reduce the business of your life? Have you grieved your losses in life? Is your heart buried somewhere in your past, unable to mature into the healthy adult God is calling you to be?
This week we are wrapping up our Discovering Character Series. We will be learning the number one benefit of being a spiritually healthy adult...LOVE. One thing I am always asking myself is, am I loving Jesus and other people better? I think we all want to do the Great Commandment better. We want to be better friends, family members, neighbors, coworkers and followers of Jesus. This requires love and it seems love does not come naturally. Read Luke 10:25-37 in preparation for Sunday as we discover the "under the surface work" that Jesus wants to do in us.
See you Sunday,
Alex
