Following God
Following close to God has enormous benefits not just for you, but for those around you.
As we discussed last time, we as Christians should value our relationship with God above all else. There is a rather simple reason for this: When we walk close to God, our lives tend to go better. God is good and God is love, so being close to Him rubs off on us in ways that make others begin to see Him in us, and that attracts them to ask questions or to learn more about our great God. We want humility to know that we are always open to continuous learning. There's great benefit for us in wanting to walk closely with the Lord because we need to be able, for example, to quickly understand root causes of conflict. Wisdom and understanding allows us to navigate life with depth of understanding. But how do we really measure if we are truly walking closely with God in a very distracted and busy world?
Well, here are tell-tale 5 signs that you are closely following God:
1. Profound inner-peace
2. Heightened compassion and empathy
3. Clear sense of purpose
4. Resilience in adversity
5. Uncommon wisdom and insights.
These are all great attributes that we can agree on make for a better life. Check yourself from time to time and see how many of these are true of you and then use that reality check to make necessary adjustments and course corrections. You will benefit from it in ways that will make your life much more joyful and also be a huge blessing to others.
