My Walk with God

Question:



This year I have grown alot. I was raised in a strict church and I never knew there was anything else out there for me when I was younger. Then things started changing with my family and our church family. We started testing out different churches recommended by friends. My faith in God grew and grew with each sermon I heard.
Today, we went back to our old church. I was sad to say that I was dissapointed because I didn't feel the vibe of God with me like I had at the others. This is a tough decision and I'm trying to stay strong in the Lord. There are things going on in my life and I love to have connections with God. Please help me open my heart to understand the message God is trying to send me.



Answer:



I completely understand what you're saying because I know what it's like to grow up in a Christian setting that wasn't completely healthy and I too got a glimpse of what God intended for it to be. Think of it this way, God is drawing you out. You're asking for a prayer that He's answering before you even asked it! How cool is that?! Praise God He's giving you a vision and dream of what He has in store for you. He's showing you this because you are not always going to be in the spiritual atmosphere you may have to deal with for now. You might see where you are at as being too much for you but God sees everything He has planned for your life ahead of you, and I'm telling you that His blessing in this area is coming.

Now at the same time, look forward to this, but I want you to know that this is only the icing on the cake. The actual cake (the best and most fulfilling part of your life) is learning to walk in your relationship with God now. When Jesus said take my yoke and learn of me, HE was actually saying let Me be your Teacher. Ask God to show you those things that you may have been taught in your life that are not from Him, and as He reveals, put them to the side. Ask Him to teach you what it means to be a disciple and to walk in His love. He's with you right now and is more than ready and capable of teaching you if you rely on Him and let Him. Have a blessed day.
