feeling the love
feeling the love from everyone that wants me to stay on myspace...but still i must go. if i wasn't convicted before church yesterday to cut out all the non-essential things in my life, and all the things that are not fruitful in my life....i am definitely convicted now. we are all here for such a short time. how can we spend time doing the things that take away from our lives, or that keep us from doing the things we are meant to do. there is a specific purpose in our lives that we are all to fulfill. nothing can change the fact that God has created us for His plans, His purposes, for our good and His glory. with that said...why spend time doing things like myspace, when we could be spending more time with Him, doing things He wants us to do, or searching ourselves for the ways that we need to become more like Him. so much of our time is consumed by things we feel like we have to do to be in "the scene" or up on the latest trends, tv shows, or movies.
i spent the weekend watching my friend's children. while talking with the avid reader who is 16 years old, i asked him the question, how many times have you read through the Lord of the Rings books? he said he had lost count it has been so many times. then i asked how many times he had read through the Bible all the way through, and he said never. i then proposed the question, which do u think will be more beneficial to you and your life. he answered the Bible.
don't get me wrong here. i can not say that i have read every passage of the Bible. I most likely haven't. even thru all of school and all these years after having been saved, i still have not read it straight thru.
why is it, that we all know we are sinners, sick and in need of healing, and we so often make times in our lives for everything and everyone other than the One that can truly help us. we need to allow Jesus to be our counselor, docotor, and confidant. why go to mere humans, when the One with ALL the right answers, ALL the time, is right there waiting for us to come to Him. He is waiting with arms wide open, waiting to love us into who we are meant to be. it won't be easy. it will most likely be painful and sacrificial at times. but there is nothing in the world like it. in His presence we will feeling the love we are meant to feel. the love that surpasses all other. the love that will change us and the world. i'm feeling the love now people... and it is in my space with Him!!! love to u all!
