To truly follow Jesus, we must truly grasp what he has done for us.
“Govern everything by your wisdom, O Lord,
so that my soul may always be serving you
in the way you will and not as I choose.
Let me die to myself so that I may serve you;
let me live to you who are life itself.”
Amen.
Teresa of Avila (1515-1582)
Put it into practice: Take some time alone with God to affirm your faith in him as Saviour and Lord AND to ask him to show you how to live fully as his apprentice. If you can, discuss this with a trusted friend. Follow through as God empowers you.
