Dirty Ol' Sock

Howdy!

So here I am, sitting on a couch at Mugwalls relaxing and really not looking forward to my Physics test tomorrow...but other than that, I feel victorious today! Recently, I've been getting some nice revelations that I would like to share.

We are so loved by God, but sometimes we don't know just how much. He personally came down from His throne just so that we could be saved! He came to live a humble life so that we can see how much He cares! He came to show us the way to spend eternity with Him and not separated from Him! How could God, the Almighty God who created everything care about us? It is because He created us that He loves us! We are like the dirty old sock at the garage sale that is unwanted by anyone because not only is it nasty and dirty, but also because we are a single sock, incomplete and incapable of doing what we were made to do. Jesus, however, sees us at the garage sale and instantly wants us because He knows that He can wash us squeaky-clean and complete us so that we can carry out our purpose in life! Only in Him are we complete! Like the prodigal son, He doesn't want us to be His servants, He wants us to be His brothers/sisters/mothers/fathers/etc. He wants us to get out of the emptiness of this world and come into the fullness of His glory! Let His love fill us so much that we cannot contain it, that it would be so crystal clear that we are not of this world nor do we belong here! Let Him purify us and be able to serve the Almighty God!
Sometimes, without even realizing it, we can sometimes reject God's love in some areas of our life. I remember when I doubted whether or not people really cared about me and that was simply doubting that God loved because He shows us love not only personally, but through community as well. If your fellowship of christians love you, then that's one way God is whispering to you "I Love You". Since we aren't perfect, we will tend to hurt our fellow brothers/sisters but we are called to love and forgive as Christ loves and forgives us.

Love has been on my mind for so long, but it never really gets old because there so much to God's love that we don't know and even more that we simply can't comprehend! The best way to see it is if we look through the eyes of a child.

God Bless,
