What stirs your affections for Christ? What makes you thank the Lord, praise who He is, something that just makes you love Him for all the small things?
-The beauty of God’s creation. A sunset, a sunrise, an endless expanse of stars, a sky full of clouds and sun, the breathtaking beauty of nature.
-Fellowship and community with my friends. Serving them, listening to them, enjoying their presence. Good conversations.
-Driving through a thunder storm.
-The sky….just in general. In all lights, cloudy or clear, sunny or bright, full of stars or full of moon. I just love staring into the sky.
Even the small things that seem frivolous and small compared to the bigness of God and who He is.
-A cinnamon crunch bagel from Panera.
-A deliciously good cup of coffee in the wake of the early morning.
-GOOD music.
-The smell of rain, fresh cut grass, and a newly fallen layer of snow.
-Finding pictures in the clouds.
-The randomness of life!
The list for me can go on and on. As a follower of Christ I believe that once we enter into a true relationship with Him it will be the little things that start to stir our affections for Him. We should be in a constant state of praising and glorifying our Father for who He is and what He has given us.
‘Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise—the fruit of lips that openly profess his name.’ Hebrews 13:15
