I like to hear what he's put on your heart. Sometimes he convicts me, sometimes he tells me I'm right on track and other times he lets me know that it's not all about me. I feel that if we're coming to "get a message" from God every Sunday then we're most likely not seeking him enough during the other 6 days of the week. Of course every message is not going to be for every person, it's ridiculous to put that kind of pressure on someone. What's more, someone may not be able to relate to a message preached last week but in a month God brings it back to their memory and it's perfect for whatever they're now going through. Would I like every message to be directed towards me? Probably, but then I'm coming to fellowship for selfish reasons and as I said before it's not about me. It's about Him and advancing his kingdom. Just saying.Marissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10114568612626290273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6023992503428723050.post-24710678748008960052010-11-18T12:57:01.702-06:002010-11-18T12:57:01.702-06:00Well, I'll put it this way.

However, I don't complain about this because the vast majority of people my age do have kids. And not only does it benefit them but it gives me an idea of what my friends and family are dealing with. Also, I can apply some of the same principles when I work with the youth or children at church. So, it's on me to get out of my own experience and be open to what God could have me hear in a message that doesn't seem to apply to me on the surface.Sharphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14071323958316695539noreply@blogger.com
