Love

One of my favourite books in the New Testament is 1 John.

It puts me in a good mood:D

You read into it deeper and you realize something...

WHY would John be sayying this stuff about love?

The horrible truth is because we don't love, we don't understand love, we take the true and honest meaning of love and tear it in two and sayy "NO God! You can shove it because I'm gonna keep loving this world and loving the things that please my heart!"

Kaleb and Matt are talkin about it and I hope you realize something too.

LOVE is what's going to hold us together, in perfect harmony! School is almost here and the only way God is going to implement ANY change in our campuses is once we start loving, truly and honestly.

God is love and who is God?
He's royal majestic awe inspiring breathtaking dangerous worthy of praise sovereign! He's graceful merciful just and mighty!

So is love. Not our love but the love that God loves with. His love. His holy righteous love. THAT'S the love we're to love with! THAT'S the love that WILL change us and change our world in a way that we won't believe!

Therefore, as you go, LOVE GOD'S LOVE!!

Love God Love People!

Welllll....

God is amazing! Our verse from Mark 12 is from the Old Testament-like the section of our Bible that we open and choke on all the dust that puffs out the pages. Deuteronomy 6.5. Deuteronomy is an excellent book btw. All those laws are fantastic. NO I'm NOT being sarcastic. You learn that God really shows His love for us in all these commandments and you learn that God just wants us to be happy and live a full life. You look at the Don'ts and go Oh God why? Why all these stupid rules? Well God knows what's upp. He did make us. You also realize that the world requires you to sell yourself. Nope your "freedom" that you experience in the world is just slavery disguised as something neat and trendy and cool looking. It's all crap. God tells us I love you I love you I love you and we go Oh cool. Now that you've said that let me go whore myself out to the world, see what they want me to do now.

It's heartbreaking...

God is constantly calling out to us but we're too caught upp in OUR lives doing OUR things, but OUR things kill US. HIS things (His love HIs mercy HIs grace) save us, rescue us.

In the end, HIs things His way trumps our things. Always and forever.
