Jesus Is the Ultimate Inspiration

Christian writer, Gwen Ford Faulkenberry, shares insight on her devotional life.

Gwen Ford Faulkenberry, Mornings with Jesus contributor

It’s a joy to be able to share with others what you feel God has shared with you. It’s also good for me, personally, to live with a mindset of looking for Jesus in every day moments, which is what most of my devotions are about.

I don’t consider myself deeply theological. But seeing glimpses of Jesus in my child’s eyes, or even dirty dishwater—that’s what I like to write about.

There is just no other subject like Jesus. It’s amazing to me every time I approach the person of Jesus that there’s an infinite amount of Him. The well never runs dry. You can never put Him in a box. Never feel like you’ve thoroughly researched Him. Never feel like you’ve tied that subject up and it’s time to move on. For me, He is the ultimate inspiration.

I was reminded that I don’t know much about Jesus. And after writing for Mornings with Jesus, I still don’t. I love the CS Lewis quote that says, “He’s good, but He’s not a tame lion.” I know He’s good. And while there’s this intimacy I know He wants us to have, and that I believe I do have on some level, like it says in John 17:3, there’s also this deep, unfathomable side to our faith, and I just can’t ever say I know much.

How much do we know about space, or the ocean, for example, after studying it since the beginning of the world? But I do believe through this experience I drew a little bit closer than I was before to His heart. And I hope to always be learning more of who He is.
