I wanted to be a chemist. I'm constantly curious; I love the process of questioning, experimenting, learning...
I didn't become a chemist, but I'm realizing that I apply the same motivation to learning about God. When I hear of some new aspect of God that I haven't experienced, my faith responds. I determine to see how it works. I practice (experiment with) living it out in my life through faith. I experience my beliefs.
For example, if I see myself seated in heavenly places in Christ Jesus (Ephesians 2:6), how can that work out experientially in my life? If I'm to do what I see the Father do (John 5:19), how do I live a lifestyle of seeing what God does and doing it?
I love the process of learning these things.
I love this life!
