The Small Things

Character is manifested during the great and significant moments, but it's built up in the small moments of life.

Something Small.

I take too much for granted.

That was the key message that I really received from God during the past week in which i attended the Global Conference. Global Conference was really a good time of reflection on the foundations of my Christian walk; a double check if I have been living the right Christian life.

I found myself responding in almost every area possible, that there's so much to grow in, so much to seek God for and so much to ultimately pray for.

At times, I take the Bible for granted. That's why I haven't been studying or reading the Bible as much as I should be doing.

Often, I take Christ for granted. That's why I haven't been living a Christ-Centred life worthy of God's calling.

More often than once, I take the Holy Spirit for granted. That's why I fail to live out the fullest potential of a Holy Spirit empowered life.

And the list goes on. Once again, God reminded me of his awesome grace and mercy. That we got what we didn't deserve and ironically we didn't get something that we deserved.

I have this new habit of writing instant thoughts that I have down in my notebook, so that I don't forget.

I wrote this down, "It's a privilege to worship you, almighty God. It's a honour to glorify your name."

A timely reminder.
