My mind has gone back to some impactful lessons and messages I heard growing up such as: The ball is in your court. Don’t trade it for a can of beans. Follow me as I follow Christ. Genuine, personal faith. Ponder the path of your feet. Considering those, what made them so impactful to me? What caused me to hold on to its truth all these years? What was it that allowed me to grasp those concepts so clearly at that time and not previously? Some of the speakers were dynamic, and called for attention, others not as much. A few had strong, visual illustrations that stuck with me, other messages did not have any. It was never the one who brought the message, but the One who sent the message. It is always incredible to see the Holy Spirit at work in hearts today; to be reminded of just how personal our God truly is to take the time to speak to us. Just as incredible is the fact that He allows ordinary people to help carry out His work. Often even more impactful than messages that I sat through, were simply the lives of those “ordinary people” around me, and the investment they made. The two go hand in hand as I could see the truth they were speaking of being lived out in their life on a daily basis. Through it, I grew up… somewhat.
