My walk with God is still continuing to grow. I am continually learning more about his character, love, and grace in my life. There have been three major milestone times in my life where I have seen significant growth in my life. The first time of deepening my walk occured in high school where I first learned what a personal relationship with Jesus looked like. At that time I learned the idea that God did desire to be close to me and that relationship happens through trusting Him. My next large time of growth happened freshman year of college when the Lord really pressed upon my heart surrendering my life to Him. This time, freshman and sophomore year, I really grew in becoming obidient to the Lord, becoming a self feeder, and understanding what walking with the Lord is characterized by. At this time in my life now, I am experiencing what has been the third segment of intense growth in my life. I'm learning what freedom in Christ means, giving up my ambitions and desires to please others. It's a fine tuning of my being and has reflected God in a way I never thought imaginable in my life.
So when I think about my walk with the Lord, I can't help but have an overwhelming sense of gratitude at the idea that he continually seeks to refine and grow me closer to Him. The idea that he would continue to reach out tom, to grow mw according to His timing, to never be done with where I'm currently at but to continue to pursue a more intimate relationship does everything for my heart and allows me to believe that I have a God that can never be reproduced and will only ever satisfy my deepest longings.
