Blessings

Alan Carruth's understanding of God's wisdom and truth was distilled into a simpler, more straightforward message as he was journaling on The Imitation of Christ by Thomas à Kempis. In these devotions, he considers questions such as: ¿ Do we really know what it means to become apprentices to our Master and learn the ways of eternal life? ¿ How can we commit ourselves to learning and practicing our Savior's ways? ¿ In what ways does humility bring divine truth to our thinking? ¿ Does any good come from arguing over opinions and speculations concerning the uncertainties of life at the expense of the kingdom of God? The devotions cover a variety of important topics, including obedience and submission, blessedness, misery, death, the judgment of God, burdens, solitude, gratitude, hearing God through Scripture, suffering, self-love, and much more. The author emphasizes that we must recognize that knowing God's truth is not enough to make us holy-that is, set apart for godly service. We must commit to reflecting the image of Jesus by loving and forgiving others. Knowing the Bible is useless unless we show others the grace and love of God.
