Ephesians 4:13 – “Until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God, and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.”
The standard against which we measure our progress is nothing less than the character of Christ. It sounds presumptuous to strive for his perfection, but we must aim no lower.
Of course, comparing what you are to what Christ is could make you pessimistic and you give up. However, intellectual and spiritual maturity doesn’t just happen – it requires time and energy to develop your full potential.
“Never forget His love for you and that he identifies with you in your human frailty. He gives you the strength to live a godly life if you will only confess your dependence on him every moment of the day. Draw daily from the strength that he puts at your disposal for this very reason.” – Solly Ozrovech, A Shelter From The Storm
Quite helpful and quite informative. Thanks kindly.
Thank you!
Very nice, looking at that species list from Ndumo Game Reserve. I definitely need to make a plan to head to that area in the near future. Lots of lifers to be had up in that region.
Bryn it is awesome! Ndumo is highly-recommended for birders … a definite must-see! Let me know if you want any more info.
Ndumo has the widest range of speices in SA
Ken, would be nice to have directions or a key to a map next to or in the content of each birding site?
Yes, good idea Mark.
I guess I could put a link to Google Maps …
Impressive list of places visited, Ken. You deserve to be classed among the great modern explorers. Stidy
Still more to see though!
Well so many of them have been with you Stidy! I would say I am the Stanley to your Livingstone.
And there are indeed so many more places to explore! I’m trying to find the time & the money to do a trip to Etosha over and above our usual summer trips.
