As we were debriefing our summer missionaries, Heather (Puno Research Team) was telling Amanda how being here has helped her to learn about ‘relating’ to God. She said she’s realized that it’s not about a strict daily routine of reading this many chapters or praying for so much time . . . but knowing, being with, and obeying God. That includes long combi rides, talking with locals, eating things that aren’t entirely clear to you what they are, etc.
How liberating to realize this! That God doesn’t want robots . . . he wants friends! worshippers! followers!! Following God doesn’t mean reading through the Bible once a year . . . it means being friends (patas) with him. Knowing his heart and responding!
We’re learning!
