Our last week in this book! I will be posting an afterword tomorrow to wrap up this book. See the book announcement post from yesterday if you would like to continue reading with us!
"I can't simply ignore His serenade because I'm unsure, uncomfortable, uninterested, thinking I've claimed Christ as my Savior already anyways. God is relationship and He woos us to relationship and there is nothing with God if there is no relationship." (pg 212)
Oh, how I would love a trip to Paris, to see the ocean from above, to see the history and the art and the intrigue of a foreign land. To see such paintings of Christ and hear choirs sing in historic cathedrals, I imagine, would be inspiring.
I would like to spend some time journaling this week about communing with God, cohabiting with Christ, my relationship with Him, what He really thinks of me. What about you?
What does God think about you?
What does communing with God look like?
What about "Christ-in-me"...what does that look like?
"Years of Christian discipleship, Bible study, churchgoing had been about me thinking about God; practicing eucharisteo was the very first I had really considered at length what God thought of me--this ridiculous and relentlessly pursuing love, so bold. Everywhere, everything, Love!" (205)
