Day One

"If I want to know who Christ is, Come and See." Today I have an invitation to "Come to Christ." Jesus' deciples left their nets and came to Christ. What fills my nets? Time, demands, fear, are these holding me back? What holds me back from developing a relationship with Christ? Today I will first answer these questions and then try to listen to the quiet invitations from the Lord and Come and See.

I am posting this on a blog, so the world can see. I will choose to be open with my thoughts and feelings. I want this to be real, but by doing so I will be more vulnerable. Hopefully, you my reader won't judge to harshly.

I have had some undeniable spiritual experiences, for which I am truly grateful. But, I also have a tendency to question everything. I like to look at both sides of the coin, but sometimes I get myself into faith testing situations by doing this. I have friends and family members who are atheists. The world today seems to have an anti-christian attitude which can subtly creep into my life. Even though I have been a member of the Mormon faith my whole life, sometimes I doubt myself. I don't like that, and that is why I am taking this journey. I want to increase my faith in Jesus Christ. I have a huge desire to know Him more, and to "come unto him."

So why is it that I don't just drop my nets? Laziness, fear, too busy, and there are more. But, that question really isn't that important. What is important is that today I will drop my nets and come and see what Christ has for me. I will listen to the quiet invitations to come unto him, by sincerely seeking to know what He has in store for me today.

This is what I feel the need to do this morning to respond to His quiet invitations:

I shall make a private list.
