Do I Know Him?

Recently I realized I have so much to learn from Jesus! I know, not a shocking revelation. However, this thought pushed me into the gospel of John in order to figure out how Jesus interacted with non believers, believers, and legalists. I encounter all such people and I am not always the model of Christ that I want to be. So, I wanted to be reminded of Jesus' actions, words, and attitudes and focus on incorporating them into my daily life on a momentary basis. I'm only to chapter 9 and what I've learned is that Jesus engaged in relationship and his primary goal was always to reveal God. Simple, yet life changing. Truly, if I set out to engage in relationship every day with the goal of revealing God to anyone I encounter, my life would be very different. I would spend less time concerned about myself, I wouldn't put energy into worrying about things I have no control over, and I would get to know my God so much better as I would constantly have my eyes on him. I truly want to work on this. I will never be perfect at it or accomplish it fully for even one day probably! But, I don't want to miss out. I don't want to miss out on the relationship opportunities around me. Nor do I want to miss out on learning what God has for me to learn in any given moment as I look to him for help and guidance as I desire to reveal him to anyone I encounter.
