Today's Message

I love the way God always meets me where I am.

Today's message at church was so encouraging, especially considering the fact that I have been feeling rather distant from Him. It has inspired me to approach quiet times with my Father in a different way.

The message was preached from 2 Corinthians 3:18 "And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord's glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit"; and spoke about how we can better relate to God.

We were told of the different veils which exist in our lives which are symbolic of the things or instances which keep or delay us from moving from better to best within our relationship with the Lord.

Essentially, the message was relaying the fact that God wants to get to know us better. I mean yes, He is omniscient and does know everything about us because He created us BUT we sometimes fail to invite Him into all areas of our lives. We just go about our lives in a religious way, factoring God in wherever we can but we don't engage Him beyond that. We don't engage Him as our Father who has a personality and can help us. These veils that we have in the different areas of hour heart - disobedience, condemnation, unforgiveness etc, etc, keep us from moving from a good relationship with God to the best realtionship with Him.

It is only once we remove these veils and really include God in every aspect of our lives, that we will reflect His glory and be transformed into His likeness.

I am so encouraged after hearing this message and I am ready to move full-steam ahead with this week.
