Thoughts and Reflections

It's been like 2 months since I've last wrote. Everything has just been so crazy and i just haven't took the time to do it. A lot has happened over the past two months... God has continued to work in me and show me more and more. Over the past 2 months God has reminded me of somethings and I have caught myself thinking about some of the things that I have read about or journaled about. Thess are some of my thoughts and reflections...

1st:
We can't love God on Sunday and rod him the rest of the week. Jesus said we can't be neutral with him. We have to choose to either worship him or something else. I think for most people, it's just that they don't want to have to SACRIFICE what it takes. People don't like the criticism of choosing God. In Hebrews 13:15 he says that if we choose to be light, we are going to be ripped.

2nd:
Everytime we sin we are just as guilty as the ones who crucified Jesus (what does the thought of that do to you?). The awesome thing is that even when we are covered in sin, God still loves us. From the cross he tells us how much he loves us, but why do we continue to live in sin? If there had been another way for God ro die, he would have. He even prayed in the Garden, but God still said "NO". He (the cross) is the only way to heaven and with that we can either reject God or accept God. If we choose God, we have to carry our own cross and do our own part. He called us to him, but sent us back into the world. He demands no LESS!

3rd:
I think it's about time that we give God more than our leftovers and instead give him ALL we got! This past summer I herd an awesome illustration that Louie Giglio gave. He asked, "Do you want to get to heaven and be on your knees trying to scrape up a little puddle that's left and give it to God?"... I don't know about you, but I DON'T! I don't want to hear God ask, "Is that all you got... is that all you've got for the Creator of the Universe, the King of Kings, and the Lord of Lords?" God is very plain in scripture (Malachi) that he does NOT want (nor does he deserve)our LEFTOVERS.

4th:
How would our life change if we wanted nothing more than to make God happy? We should ask, "What does God want?"... Since worship is for God.

5th:
It's not just telling God... It's showing God.

6th:
We lived in a messed up world, but God is BIGGER than this messed up world.

7th:
He holds my heart beat, my life, and when I've sinned and amd entering the pits of hell, he holds and saves me. THAT'S WHY I WORSHIP HIM!

8th:
God is not a God of confussion.
