For the past month and a half of being at school, the sermons at the church I attend here have been on Ephesians. While I've been there, we've only covered some of chapter 5, and most of 6. But in the time we've studied those couple of chapters, I've learned a lot. Today I looked back at my sermon notes... I saw a lot of similarities between this morning's notes and past week's. It was cool to see those constant reminders. Even those in the church of Ephesus, they needed these reminders. I've heard sermons on topics from marriage to work, and from purity to focus. I love that this book covers every part of life. It's helping me realize how to live according to God's Will.
But another thing that really stuck with me is the fact that those reminders never stopped. I know that's because we'll never be perfect human beings. I know for myself, I want to be as Christ-like as possible. But that doesn't mean to be self-righteous. And I know, lately, I've been at fault for that... but instead it means everyday, falling at the feet of Jesus, asking for His forgiveness and giving Him glory in everything. I have to be reminded daily to live for Jesus not because it's not important to me. But because I'm a innately prideful human being. Therefore it takes a lot more out of me to go against my nature to love people and love God.
Anyway, here is my Sunday afternoon rant/thoughts. Basically, this past few month or two has been a journey. It's been a wake-up call for myself. It was a reminder that I always have room to grow in God. Always.
