This summer I have had so much idle time that I don't know what to do. I can honestly say that there was a lot of reading that got done. But much more could have gotten done. What's so funny about growing in your spiritual walk is that some things that provided so much joy in your infant stages of Christianity now seem so tedious and dare I say it boring. I could recall when some books I read gave me so much insight about the mind of God and now it's just a collection of information. But of course, like all times of idleness your true nature revisits. It is the main cause of my spiritual drought I suppose and it is the culprit in stealing the joy I once got from a great book.
Not all this summer was a waste pool of sin however. I got to visit one of my closes friends. He seems to be so spiritually mature, and I always wonder what it would be like to be in love with God the way he is. Don't get me wrong I love God with my whole heart, but I am so easily taken away by my lusts, desires, and passions that only leave me wanting for more of nothing. It's the song and dance that relives daily in my walk. I know that I have victory. But it is so faint today. I pray that God would restore my joy. I fight for a passion for him and him alone. I'll be back tomorrow with an update on my progress.
Salvation comes by Grace through Faith,
