Inspiring Read
Currently I am reading a biography on Keith Green written by his wife, Melody.
It is so inspiring. This man's passion and obsession with God, his undying determined spiritual quest for truth is so inspiring, his emptiness relatable. And in the end he comes to know Christ.
He and Melody were a team, a pair of co-journers on a spiritual journey to know God, and by their own definition they succeeded. They both spoke of Jesus like they knew Him personally. Their lives transformed from an empty lifestyle full of career-pursuits and drugs to a life of peace and knowing God.
It is so inspiring. I want to know Christ as the person, to know Jesus as a best friend the way so many of my new friends speak of Him.
Sometimes I wish I grew up rebellious (in an outwardly way), strayed and lost, strung-out (to a certain extent I was), rather than growing up in the church, because the fresh love and passion that new Christians who became saved later in life is so raw, so passionate and rich and life-changing. It exposes the staleness of my own faith indirectly... but it is a challenge! Do I really know and love the Person of Christ?
Lord Jesus help me love and know you as Keith and my new friends know you....
