At a worship service last night I felt anticipation for something great. By the time the night was over I felt that the great thing I was anticipating wasn't an extravagant show put on by The Lord. It was a time of peaceful serenity. I was able to quiet my mind and simply be with him - without strife or an expectation for something bigger. I was satisfied by being with him.
And in that moment I felt a gentle lesson being taught to me. Relationship with the Father is actually a relationship. Time spent together in one instance may be Him teaching you lessons. And other times you are dwelling, enjoying the company.
Growing in The Lord is not to be confused with striving. Pursuit is not meant to be the equivalent of toil. It all comes down to relationship, romance, and knowing each other more. When you love someone, you want to be with them. When someone loves you, you trust they want to be with you.
And so you are together and each day you learn a little more and fall more in love. Life with the father is an adventure and journey. In every moment he is loving you and you are learning to see it more clearly.
