Yo.
I could complain about this week. I will stop. I could sulk and whine about this week. I will stop. I could let this week get to me. I will stop. There is much about this last week that I could be resentful about. I will stop.
It may have taken me all week to get to this point, but honestly, God's grace is unfathomable.
We just had our first weekly Bible study, and it was just me and RZ. Which on the outside could look pretty depressing, ya. It could seem really disappointing. I wanted many people to come and for us to have great discussions and everyone be encouraged, etc. And even if buses made him late this time, I'm so glad and joyful to see what God is doing. To spend more time one on one and address any questions he had, to get to hear what he really thinks about the church and everything, to hear what he thinks about where he is on his journey to knowing God; so good.
At the end of the study I asked if he had any questions and (it wasn't a question) but he said something about how important the church is that for beginners (like people who don't know Jesus yet) to have people to invite them in and teach them about God, and then when they do know God they will want to know more about God. So I asked about where he is and he said he thinks that he is very close to becoming a Christian; that he really believes in God, but he wants to know more. =D So I suggested he read a bit of John each day and whenever he has a question, we could go over it on Sunday night ir he could text me. xP
It is a complete blessing to be a part of seeing others come to know Jesus; to walk alongside them and help them discover the amazingness of the good news in their lives. I don't deserve to be a part of that.
I'm just seeing more of how amazing the gospel is in my life.
Ttyl.
