This is a silly realisation I had while listening to a church service recently. The teacher was doing a brilliant job describing some cultural stuff we are all facing currently and I found myself thinking

“I really wish [insert name] could hear this talk”

Yeah, we’ve all done it right? But anyway, as I continued to listen, thinking about how much they really really needed to hear it I was challenged by a disturbing thought.

What if I needed to listen as well?

I know this so obvious, but I was so busy comparing myself to others and thinking about how they needed to grow, I’d totally neglected the need to think about where I needed to grow!

I thought I was alright but when it comes to my relationship with Jesus, there is always more I can learn, more I can surrender, more I can become.

I still wish that other person could hear the talk though #joke #notjoke
