Getting to Know You, Getting to Know all about You

  I was just thinking of that song from the King and I, not sure why... but either way, I thought of how I want to get to know Christ and know all about Him. Truth may be though that none of us will ever understand or know God, He is too mysterious for us to comprehend. However, getting to the real reason of writing this,
  I want to be able to make even more time in my day for the Lord. I love to just talk to Him, no matter where I am I know that I can just pray, and I want to continue to study His Word and learn new things. To be open to what He wants to speak to me and then actually listen and go out and do what He tells me. To be a doer of the word and not a hearer only, like it talks about in James 1:22.

  My footnotes describe this kind of a doer as not being just the kind of person that sits in church every sunday to listen to the word and not do or change anything else in their life. Salvation leads to service and it is self-deception to believe that God's goal for church attendance is merely to hear the Word, instead of to experience a transformation of life that results in ministry.

  May I become more of that, may I experience a transformation, help others and find ways to serve in the ministry. Lord I pray that you reveal your will for me and my life and that when I do know what that is that I will follow, amen.
