Discover CityViewNC.com's fresh updated look! | 17 sacred music, small group study, communal worship, fellowship with others and a mission in which to engage. Now is a great time to build your personal spiritual fitness training plan. Here are some ways to get started. Visit a local place of worship, regularly. Commit to reading sacred scripture daily. Start a prayer journal and write your thoughts, hopes, dreams and frustrations, out to God. Yes, like going to the gym, you'll struggle to keep such practices, but with diligence along the journey, your spiritual fitness will grow. It's not so much a destination at which to arrive, but rather a process in which to engage that brings with it a depth that can only come from experience. As you work out your faith, you'll find that the words of the first-century Apostle are true, "And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love." (1 Corinthians 13:13) While many are asking what 2019 will bring, we can know what will remain when it ends, and that is love. is is what it looks like, "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails." (1 Corinthians 13:4-8) Have faith in the God who is love and loves you. Build hope as you find that love in the darkest days of the year. Share that love with all those made in God's image. In so doing you'll be able to answer, "How's your soul?" with a resounding, "It is well!"
