Elijah and I are still plugging away at our memory work this month! He's got his first two verses down pat, but we're still working on number three, Proverbs 3:5. I'm about 80 percent of the way through John 1. Over the weekend I worked on verse 38: "Jesus turned and saw them following and said to them, 'What are you seeking?'"
I wondered if I dared ask myself the same question as I follow Jesus: What am I seeking? Am I following Him merely because I think He can/will give me what my heart is really after?
Shamefully, too often, yes. O Lord, have mercy on me, a sinner. Cause my heart to long for You alone. Make me a faithful follower of Jesus, not in pursuit of what nice things or experiences He can give me, but in pursuit of Him--a follower who is seeking HIM, who wants nothing more than to know You and love You and bring glory to Your name.

Love your reflections as updates along with where you're actually at with the memory part. You "own" these verses, don't you!
