Moving water will always choose the path of least resistance. And the same is true of our natural tendencies in life. Without intentionality, we’ll go whichever way is easiest and most comfortable. Pastor Mike Fabarez challenges us to resist that inclination by Preparing for the Pain that comes with following Christ.
You can know something about a person, their biography, greatest achievements, famous sayings...but still be a stranger to them. Real relationships require something more. Presence. Pursuit. A genuine willingness to close the distance.
If you want to pursue a deeper relationship with God, be sure to request the book The Pursuit of God by A. W. Tozer.
