Apprentices
I absolutely 100% love Jesus Christ. He captivates me. You cannot separate a teacher from his life when it comes to the arena of existential existence.
The first internship I did happened in one of the cornfield churches of Indiana. A godly seasoned minister by the name of Bill Weaver gently coached, steered, and helped me to grow as a fledgling, young, brash, and sophomoric undergraduate. To this day, many of the words he used in premarital counseling sessions still show up in sessions I do with couples. Bill had a gentle spirit about him. He had an insightful way of sculpting souls and character. I’m forever indebted.
This week we strive to apprentice ourselves under Jesus and allow His words, “Blessed are the meek….” to shape and mold us.
Personal question for everyone: Was/Is there someone in your life who you can point to that made a significant development in your character?
What were their primary characteristics that made this profound impact on your life?
As you delve into the depths of your soul – I’m willing to guess on the front end that most of us have been primarily shaped by people who possessed strong work ethics, an inner drive, a love of what they do, a level of trying to never be fully content in who they are, but who also have that X factor of humility, gentleness, or meekness.
What’s the legacy you are leaving?
The impact you are leaving arises primarily from your character.
Apprentices of Jesus, allow Him to mold and shape you.
Looking forward to a great encounter with the Forum family this Sunday as we worship Him. – Scott
