For too long I was just a “stone” in my faith. I was raised a Christian and have always believed in God but I didn’t really build on that belief. I suppose at times in my life I didn’t feel I needed more or I just didn’t take the time to learn and build onto the foundation that my parents and grandparents had taught me. In recent years I felt the need to understand and know more about God’s words so I started going to Bible study. It has opened my eyes and heart to so much.
When my “bible mates” and I are reading and discussing the Bible, it helps so much to put the printed words into a better understanding. We read and discuss, laugh and sometimes even share very strong feelings about a passage and through it all; we are growing or building ourselves into a better understanding of what it means to be a Christian. With more knowledge brings more confidence in sharing with others the good news of Gods love.
As we live a life of a living stone we are able to not only share the written words of Jesus’ love for us but also to show God’s love in our actions towards all people.
