On my way to school, I was thinking about yesterday's post where I was talking about the mistress. I'm sure many of you have seen this happen. A new person comes to the church because of a disease, a problem with a family member, a financial problem, etc. What I have seen is that when the person comes they fight for their blessing, and once they receive it, many times, they stop coming. And all of sudden people start wondering "What happened to this person?"
Why did they stop coming? Because they came for a blessing and not the One who blesses. God does not just want to give you a blessed family, that dream job, that man or woman you have been waiting for, no, He wants to make you the blessing.
When does a person become the blessing? When they have an encounter with God. When you give Him your old life, and allow Him to give you a new one. But He will only do this, if you open up yourself to Him.
This reminds of a little quote I found in a bookstore a few months ago. God will go through anything and anyone to get to you. If there are a thousand steps between you and Him, He will take 999 steps but the last step is up to you.
God Bless
