Life Long Student

Father, thank you for life on earth that is as a student in Your university of Life.  A student of Life (Jesus) that is about practical application of wisdom learned not as a righteous pursuit to meet a standard (of perfection) not attainable.  But rather, a pursuit of being a life long student not for gain of knowledge to sit on my personal shelf but gain of knowledge to apply in daily living.  A daily living where a kernel of knowledge is expanded into discernment and it becomes a muscle rather than static stored information.  At the core of being a student in Your economy is getting to know You (who You are and who I am to You); that my personal journey and purpose is rooted in my spiritual growth and serving others; and that it is not about me.  It emanates internally for use externally for the benefit of others.  It is a privilege of inclusion and a gift from You that is a teaching of Your righteousness and me being an intern in leveraging Your righteousness for the benefit of others and my spiritual maturity.  This is not one that is graded for merit but rather a calling to extend and share what I am learning.  It is a potluck participation of sharing with those in my sphere on behalf of the Teacher (Jesus) in such a way that they will see the One (Jesus) that it the source.  It is applied knowledge to be attractive for others to go to the Source (Jesus).  We are all impressed by students who do well in life who are from great universities.  So it is with Your university of eternal centric teachings but only is noticed if we apply what we are learning.  It is a university where we do not have to qualify to attend but just requires one to apply real time the learnings gained as a student.  Thank you for this privilege and honor.
