I've Learned

John 6:45 (NKJV) It is written in the prophets, ‘And they shall all be taught by God.’ Therefore everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to Me.

I think that one of the most powerful words in the Bible is the word “learned”. As I become closer and closer to my Father everyday through relationship, I see that it is all a learning experience. Walking as a true follower of Christ can sometimes be a very daunting one. As I always say, yes walking on the path that God has placed you on can sometimes be one that get’s challenging at times and requires effort on our part; but at the end of the day when you look and see all of the other options that you have, there is none other as rewarding as being a true Christian. Religion teaches us that we have to be perfect, never missing a beat. Religion teaches us that if we do something contrary to the belief system then the consequence is Hell. Religion teaches us that if you do mess up every now and then than you have to start all over from the beginning. Relationship teaches us that when we first come to Christ that we are all babes in Christ. Relationship teaches us that yes we will stumble from time to time but all we have to do is get back up and dust ourselves off. Relationship teaches us that this is a learned experience and that it will always be a learning experience until the day we die. God doesn’t expect you to try and be perfect for Him not missing a beat. God already see’s you as perfect because He created you and whatever He creates, in His thought process, is perfect from the time of inception. Don’t try and be the people pleaser and put up a superficial front like you’re Mr. or Mrs. Super Christian. Live the life that God has given you, submit all things to Him and just be one who learns from the experiences that He has placed in your life.
