Status Updates From Filotea

“but if the bond of your mutual liking be charity, devotion and Christian perfection, God knows how very precious a friendship it is! Precious because it comes from God, because it tends to God, because God is the link that binds you, because it will last forever in him. Truly it is a blessed thing to love on earth as we hope to love in heaven, and to begin that friendship here that is to endure forever there.”

Unintentionally taking this slow

There are some powerful ideas that I have found on here thus far. Pages 14-16 remind us that God expects true effort that is steady rather than big improvements all at once. I think this reinforces the importance of what it means when the word “steadfast” is used in Christianity and I love how this led into a discussion about reconciliation. So far, I find it comprehensible yet academically stimulating.
