Spiritual High

As humans, our relationships to others vary on a daily basis. Between our friends, our parents, and even our spouses, feelings change with time. Relationships cycle between closeness and ambivalence in all walks of life. Our relationship with Jesus is no different. If you have been a believer for any length of time, you probably look back with fondness on the time that you first accepted Christ. When I was saved at the age of 13, I was on a spiritual high, and felt very close to the lord.

As time goes on, we can grow distant from God, to a point sometimes that we question whether or not we are really among the redeemed! We reason that if we are, in fact saved, why do we not feel the same as the time that it first happened. The fact of the matter, and what we can take comfort in, is that we are not saved by feelings. We're saved by faith.

I say all that, because right now I'm thanking Jesus that I'm on the mountain. Through the events of the past several weeks, I feel that He's been drawing me closer to him, and I also feel that way about the church. I feel that God is preparing our church for something big, and I encourage everybody to be prayerful about it.

I have a lot of things on my mind that I want to post, but I'll save some for later (I know you'll be waiting with baited breath). I'll be updating daily, so keep an eye out.
