Acts 20
Here I see Christian fellowship in its healthy form. Intimate and Godly. I should continue to build up brothers and sisters in times of sorrow and rejoicing.
Since Cape Town training I've always been thinking about Acts 20:24. My biggest idol is belonging so I often feel worthless in Cheil. My church is a workforce for me, I'm not necessarily relaxed or comfortable around these sinless people. Love is not receptive here and so it's hard for me not to look back on what I gave up when I started this journey with Christ. But that singular verse obliterates all my entitlements and wants. There's a danger that is still present in my life, am I living for human approval or God's. I reflect on Pauls life and how effective he was, he didn't achieve these things because he loved this world but because he loved God in a single minded way. If I become close minded to everything outside of God then I wouldn't be troubled by petty problems.
Prayer/response:
- reflect on God's promises instead of suicidal fantasies
- love God
- love His people
- love the word
