A Step Of Faith Away

My Utmost For His Highest

“Beware if in sharing your personal testimony you continually have to look back, saying, “Once, a number of years ago, I was saved.” If you have put your “hand to the plow” and are walking in the light, there is no “looking back”— the past is instilled into the present wonder of fellowship and oneness with God (Luke 9:62 ; also see 1 John 1:6-7). If you get out of the light, you become a sentimental Christian, and live only on your memories, and your testimony will have a hard metallic ring to it. Beware of trying to cover up your present refusal to “walk in the light” by recalling your past experiences when you did “walk in the light” (1 John 1:7).” CHAMBERS

What is the most significant experience you have had as a Christian?  Do you look back to a particular day or event with fondness?  The most significant spiritual experience in your life as a Christian?  Do you recalling that time when you are sharing with others? God doesn’t want to be a memory from your past but more significant that a reality in your present.   Every day we live should be a new and wonderful encounter with the living God.  We should not have to recall what it is like to be close to Him.  We should always be close to Him. Does that seem out of reach for you?  Maybe over the top?

Abiding in Christ …. Bearing eternal fruit … experiencing God every day.  That is what God intended … it is not out of reach .. it’s only a step of faith away.  Let you light shine
