Will the real church please stand up, part 2

I have to face it. I know it in my head, but I must keep telling my heart. There is NO real perfect church~ not till we get to heaven! The church I am at now, I cannot leave because my husband is a pastor. The cabinet, comprised of the district superintendents and the bishop placed him here this summer. It is a mission field. I must accept it.

That said, however that doesn't stop me from growing spiritually. I think that is the area of my discontent. It is a spiritual hunger. I want to grow spiritually, personally. I've tasted something great spiritually before in my life while I was on the reservation. I need to 'retaste' it. It was what some would call a "Holy Spirit experience". But frankly since then, I've hadn't had much teaching on it, nor do I know what to do with it.

So the real church doesn't exist here on earth. However, I believe God is calling each of us to be reconciled to Him personally thru the salvation that Jesus (God's Son) died to obtain for us. Instead of lamenting my church, since I can't do anything about it, I can focus on my personal relationship with the Lord, and pray for the congregation that they too can find Jesus as their Saviour.

There are many blogs, online ministries that are out there to help us in our daily walk with the Lord. I encourage you to find one or more that will help you draw closer to the Lord thru reading the Bible, praying and communing with the Lord.

One such devotional is "Laced with Grace: Let God's Word Transform you today". The link is on my sidebar. I encourage you to try it. Browse thru the earlier posts. You'll be blessed.
