Words of Encouragement:

Experience is simply the outcome of living our lives, trying new things, and gaining knowledge and insight along the way. We may say, for example, that we enjoyed riding a roller coaster or watching the sun set or eating a great meal. It can also refer to knowledge or skills that we obtain by working or living though certain events. Experience can be thought of as a process of building new memories. Experiencing God means creating new memories with God. This takes attentiveness. If we are distracted while spending time with a friend, we will miss out on the experience of being together. In the same way, we can easily miss seeing God’s work in our lives because we aren’t paying attention.
