Growth...

Needless to say, every area in my spiritual life needs growing and attention. But, as always, I gotta take baby steps. I wonder, what is the one area of my life that needs growing?

I often go through life, especially in camp, without God on my mind. Why? I guess it's the emphasis I place upon Him. I don't prioritise him at all. He's often out of my mind. My lips can say He is important to me, He is my number 1 and all. But, truth is, I forget Him as soon as I reach a comfort level, or when I face adversity.

But still, the question stands: Why? I guess I just forget all the times He'd impacted me. It's like having a friend who has done you great favour versus a common hi-bye friend. Obviously, I'd think of the better friend first when I meet danger or have something nice to share.

Same thing, I forget what God has done for me. I know there are times when He has touched my heart. But I went ahead and forgot those times.

The one thing I need to do is to keep within my heart how God is like. I guess part of the underlying problem is also my lack of knowledge of God's character. He's like a friend I barely know, so I wouldn't want to open myself up to him or ask him for help, for who knows what he'd do? Or whether he'll help?

So that's the focus for the coming weeks: Understanding God and who He is.
