Practical Christianity

I am sitting here, having realized how long it is since I have written, and... I feel the need to write. Honestly I don't know where this is going, so bear with me.

It dawns on me that Christianity is often seen in some theoretical light. Often times one of the casualties is the understanding of what life with God is supposed to be about. This is unfortunate.

What I mean is, we don't understand how God walks with us through are difficulties and quirks with the idea in mind that we might get to know him. This is the point. Our reportcard doesn't say how many lives came to Christ through us, or how sin-free we became, or how much money we gave away. What matters is how well you know the Father, and even more importantly than that, how well the Father knows you. This is the truest barometer of where we stand with God. Anything else is fluff, and largely irrelevant, outside of how much it draws us closer to God or pushes us away from him. This is what relationship with God is all about.

My prayer for you is that you will see that this is the real point of Christianity. We are meant to be utterly candid and transparent before God, we are meant to cease being a human doing and let Christ work through us as a human being. This, my readers, is what God wants most from us, that we cease trying to impress him and get to know him instead.
