In our longing and thirsting for God, He pours out upon us His great love and care, so we can truly know, love, and serve Him. When we allow the teachings of Jesus to penetrate our hearts, they become words to live by. Thus, it becomes hard for us not to share our faith in Jesus Christ with others, just like it was difficult for the prophet Jeremiah to hold back the words that God wanted spoken to His people. Let us be transformed by God’s Word, renewing our minds so that we may discern the will of God in our lives. Having the mind of Christ helps us to think as God does and not in our human ways, believing in faith all that God teaches us. This includes taking up our crosses and enduring them in faith as we follow in the footsteps of Jesus on our journey to God’s Kingdom.
