Pastor Troy, this was such a needed reminder that discipleship begins with knowing Jesus before it begins with doing for Jesus. I especially loved your statement, "What He does flows from who He is." It's so easy to focus on methods, programs, or even trying to imitate Jesus' actions while forgetting to first abide in Him. The more we know His heart, the more our lives naturally begin to reflect Him. Thank you for pointing us back to the true foundation of discipleship, Jesus Himself.
Thank you for your kind word. It’s led to another reflection. Hoping to have a reflection next week on abiding in the Lord - the difference between being filled and fulfilled.
