God Is So Good

It's been forever since I blogged last. I have been so busy with all kinds of things. I have just seen Jesus in so many ways this past month. It's crazy. I feel like I have experienced Him in ways that I have not seen before. I have wonderful brothers and sisters in Christ, go to a church I love, been able to share the good news, live with freshman, and feel the Holy Spirit.. Life is good. I can surely say to you that there is a huge revival taking place at Wingate. It is far from complete, but the Spirit is just raining down on campus. I love Jesus, and I love His love.
It's so awesome how much God has provided this semester already. I have made new friends, and gained new brothers and sisters. Siblings in Christ who love me, and want me to grow. I have a job that allows me to be there for kids on my floor, and allows me to point them to Jesus.
God just wants to pour all the love He has out to us, and He wants you to be with Him. He provides. He has already provided us with Jesus Christ. And He wants to give us more?! How great is our God?
I simply want to point my eyes to the One who has given us everything, and the One who will never forsake us! I wish to be perpetually on fire for Him.
Great words to ponder:
"He was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification."
- Romans 4:25
I think people find it hard to understand why I love the Lord..But, we must remember that He made the unworthy into the worthy! We were condemned by our sin, but now, because of Jesus' blood, we are righteous in the eyes of God.
God loved us when we hated Him. We hated Him because were living in sin that He detests.
The grace, and love of God can only be best demonstrated by the dire circumstances we were in because of sin.
