Today is the first day of IWU's Summit. Honestly, I'm not that too excited about it. I've moved beyond the "spiritual highs" and emotional highs events like this tend to bring. But I like to support my brothers and sisters in Christ in their journey, so I attend.
Since I've gotten back to school, I've been discouraged in my faith- not complacent or apathetic- just how I get sometimes when nothing is really happening that is making me want to spend time with God. That sounds worse that it actually is
That changed tonight. I recognize I need to spend time with God if I truly want to know His will for my life.
Back to Summit:
The verse that we're concentrating on this week is 1 Peter 2:21: "To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps."
Jesus came to absorb my pain and to take my place. Because of Jesus absorbing my pain, I never have to live in it.
Those simple concepts are all it took to get me back into motivation to do my devotions. It has taken me the last few years to get to a place of complete surrender where I said "yes" to God and now I want to follow Him into whatever He sees for my life.
I love the fact that it's not about me any more. It's all about Him. My life is never going back to where it was when I started at IWU as a freshman. I glorify God in that lasting change.
As always,
All for His glory + Always <3
