Christian faith...every
day.
By Eric William King (May 2024)
Each day is a gift from God. How will you spend it? Will you choose to only
and always care for yourself, your “constant needs?” Or, will you take some
time out to pay attention to those around you to see if you can help in anyway?
The fact that we are here at all is a miracle.
As I have grown in my Christian faith, I have learned to see what I can do
to help others. At church this may involve carrying some food items into the
Church Kitchen, perhaps opening a door or two. How about helping clear the
tables after a pot-luck? Help is needed all around us wherever we go.
No time to complain when you are truly helping others. Today, sadly, many
have their heads buried in their cellphones. They have no time to look up, to
see the wonderful creation all around them. To notice those hurting that they
could at least pray for. We need not belittle the power of Christian prayer. To
truly accept yourself and the Human condition is to realize that we all
struggle inwardly and sometimes outwardly. Not one person goes without a worry
or two.
We need to all stop thinking constantly about ourselves. All of the people
of this world are greedy, materialistic, and addicted to
someone or something that is not good for them. This is just the fact of the
Human condition. Jesus Christ completely understands our dilemma and became
Human to see, feel, touch and forgive. He brought
true healing for the core of who we are, we are spiritual beings.
When a person truly accepts Jesus Christ as their Lord, God, and Savior one
is granted a new state of consciousness. One gains a relationship with Divine Intelligence through the Living Word of Life – Jesus the Christ. As a
Christian you begin to grow, never reaching perfection but allowing yourself to
remain in constant and honest contact with the one who created you and loves
you – God. It is God who does the changing, it is God who does the saving and
healing. All He asks of us is to trust and obey – to believe. Our belief in God
itself is a gift from the indwelling Holy Spirit – the
Comforter.
Little by little we begin to grow into a spiritual maturity. This is
a life process and all Human emotions are involved. In ending these thoughts, I
challenge you to simply believe in Him and trust in Him. Simply accept God’s
timetable. Let Him work in your life and you will begin to truly understand
just how wonderful our God is.
Resting in Him always,
