Bible Question: This is not necissarily a specific scripture question or interpretation. My question however is: "As I long to know Jesus much better, as I long to understand what Cavalry exactly means to me, I find my understanding and love continue to grow. However, my initiation or desire to know Jesus better began slowly years ago out of personal experiences. Experiences that presented me with the conclusion...Please help me, I can't do this alone....So perhaps I am worried that my motive to know Christ better stems from a selfish desire to acheive answers or happiness, or even outcomes that I want. Is this Ok or 'warped' thinking? Would anyone please respond to this thinking? Thank You. |
Bible Answer: I have been where you are and sometimes, when I am under attack by the devil, he will slip me similar thoughts. As I read your inquiry something jumped out at me, the word "stems". When this word jumped out at me, a scripture came to me that I would like to share with you. It is found in the book of John: "No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him..." [6:44] Therefore, your desire to know Christ and develope a relationship with Father God does not "stem" or is not of yourself. It is our Heavenly Father who put it on your heart. I do hope that this comforts you. In His grip, David |
