Yesterday, I read 1 Corinthians 4:1 in my daily readings. I must have read this passage before, but for the life of me I don't remember. "Think of us in this way, as servants of Christ and stewards of God’s mysteries."So simple. That is what I want to be about.
I want to serve Christ. For me, Christ is the best way to understand and approach the Divine. I want to serve him with everything I am and everything I have.
And while, for me, the fullness of God dwells in Christ (Colossians 1:19), I do not believe that Christ is the only manifestation of God. God is not limited by Christ, much less my understanding of Christ. So while it is important for me to be a servant of Christ, I am also called to be a steward of the mysteries of God-not an explainer of the mysteries of God, but a steward. Encountering them and cherishing them as I discover them in the world and in others.

I really love this! I too wish to be a steward for the mysteries of God-such a beautiful concept. I too believe in following Christ but that God is unlimited.
So glad to read this and thankful to be a sharing our Sunday's with you!
