I look back over the past two weeks and can’t believe all the things I have learned here at Long’s Chapel. I have been stretched and challenged more during this time than in the past several years. I see God working in so many ways through the ministries here…ways that I have not seen or have not seen in a long time. As I work beside God and others in the ministry of caring for those in need, I see suffering and hurt close up, but I also see the face of Jesus. I see him in some way each day and certainly see him as we gather to praise and worship.
As we have meditated and prayed through A.W. Tozer’s book, “The Pursuit of God,” our small group has grown deeply in the inspired words about God’s presence, his voice, the veil that must be removed to achieve intimacy with Him, and how steadily we should be focused on God.
With all the “tasks” of daily living, tasks that are both wearisome and delightful, necessary and desirable, I don’t want to lose my intimacy with Jesus. I want my “gaze” to stay steadily on the One who has saved me from my brokenness.
