There are so many important days in our lives. Our first kiss, graduating, getting married, etc. Going back to the very beginning of our lives there are so many things that had to happen first before all of these other firsts: namely, our first steps. Few of us remember those first attempts at walking, but if we could I'm sure we'd remember frustration after frustration. Seeing other people do this incredible thing called, "walking" and yet we can't even stand up.

When we talked about mission we began with something that seems very simple: love God. However, we all know it's not that simple now. Maybe you've had a relationship with Jesus for a long time and you're frustrated because you see other people doing these incredible things for Jesus or who have this incredible connection with Him and you feel like you're still just trying to "stand up." Or, maybe you have just met Jesus and you're just overwhelmed by the idea of God. Either way, we must see our mission not just as something to aim at, but as steps.

If a baby decided it was over trying to walk, and it was moving on to jumping, what would happen? Disaster! We must be content where we're at right now, and learn to love God as He has given us the ability in this moment. If you want more, if you want to grow, GREAT! God has not put this in your heart in vain. Let's seek God together, and let's join the father in Mark's Gospel in crying out: "I believe; help my unbelief (Mark 9:24)."
