Waiting for you

The Father is waiting for you

I have been enjoying women’s cricket showcased by the televised world cup tournament.

I have to admit i always thought their matches would not be as aggressive or nail biting as the men’s can sometimes be. I apologise they are just as good and gripping.

I only know this because I took the time to watch, google some of them and pick a few who I can look out for should i have an opportunity to watch.

Today’s post is to ask you the sceptic, to you who has declared it’s not for you.

Just like i took time to find out more, I ask you to find out more. Give our Lord a chance and you won’t be disappointed.  The Father is more than you can ever imagine and a relationship with Him changes your whole life. He is a kind, loving, gracious and merciful Father and one of the benefits of being in relationship with Him is peace no matter the circumstance.

I know it will be a challenge but i ask you to find a community of Christ-Followers, a church near you. Just go in, it’s OK if you sit at the back but I ask you to be willing to listen and find out. Ask for a Bible and a perhaps a short daily devotional to start you off in the habit of reading the Bible. This is essential for in your journey to knowing the Lord the Bible is your source and starting off little by little helps. It’s a big book and as you grow you will learn to value it as you let it sink in.

God our Father loves us all(including you) so much that He gave his only begotten son that we would not perish but have eternal life with Him. This you will learn and understand as you spend time with Him in His Word. There is no pressure we all journey as we understand but the more we make time and take time the more we understand.

Unfortunately but perhaps fortunately Christ-Following is not a solo journey. The next step is to join a lifegroup, or cell-group, that is a group of Christ-Followers often living close to one another meeting once a week. In this meeting they share their lives and learn together about the faith. This is important because you will learn early on there is no perfect follower of Christ and we are all learning as we journey together in getting to know our Lord and serving Him. In this group you build relationship with others on the same journey you are on. In this setting the Bible is also discussed and explored by the group. Remember we all start with zero understanding so don’t be intimidated if others are further along than you.

The Father loves us all the same and wants us all in the same way.
