Was just reflecting about the youths that I am leading in my church. These days we've been taking turns to lead devotions, and it has been refreshing to hear from them share about some truths they've gathered through reading Scripture.
In the past, I used to be very hard on myself to deliver a well organized and coherent lesson every time we meet for Bible studies.
However, now, I still put in effort to prepare devotions and Bible studies, but God has been convicting me that it's not so much just about organization and coherence, but about authenticity in our relationships, and our relationship with Him.
Therefore, it is my prayer that the girls and myself will grow to be real with one another, and real with God. And for God to be real to us. And I pray that the girls and myself will not think of God as someone we happened to grow up with, or think we already know God and all there is to know, but develop a reflective spirit to continue to know and love Him, and most importantly, to be convicted that God knows and loves us. The latter will make all the difference in our growth from the inside out.
