GOD is Love.

That is a biblical truth that encourages me daily and gives me generally good feelings. It is a major aspect of GOD, but it is easy to only focus on this aspect. We Love to be Loved. But what does GOD's Love mean? Our parents love us. Our friends love us. Our girlfriends love us. Our dogs love us.

But what is the difference between our parents, friends, etc. loving us and GOD Loving us?

To understand His Love and appreciate it fully, we must look further into GOD's character and just how magnificent He is. Watch the following video:

GOD is huge. His majesty can be seen throughout all of creation. His majesty goes even beyond the seemingly numberless amount of galaxies. Our GOD is the Α and the Ω of those uncountable galaxies. And even more than that, GOD has no Α or Ω. He is the One who WAS, IS, and IS TO COME. The universe is not even a speck in comparison to our Infinite GOD.

And we are not even a speck compared to the universe.

This got me thinking, who are we compared to GOD? By any form of human logic we are absolutely nothing next to GOD. But the crazy thing is that the GOD who we appear insignificant next to Loves you. Our Everlasting, Almighty, and Holy GOD knows you better than you know you and Loves you...

I do not know about you, but next to that i feel unworthy to worship Him. And for all intensive purposes i am unworthy. But GOD took care of that. As a sign of His Love, JESUS came to intercede for us. Jesus bridged the gap between us and our All Powerful GOD. GOD became an insignificant speck for you and me.

GOD's Love boggles my mind and, for lack of a better word, humbles me. i am grateful for His Love.

Sometimes we are so joyful and powered up for Jesus, and we try to share our excitement to everyone we encounter. We praise His name and worship for all He has given us. We feel so loved because we know we have a Father who only wants what's best for us, and cares deeply for everything that happens to us. As we carry this joy that's bursting to come out for everyone to experience what we are, there is always someone along your way who will put you down in some way or another. Whether it be a fellow brother or someone you barely had the acquaintance of meeting, it tends to bring your level of enthusiasm down, and you feel isolated and secluded because of the way they judged you. Although we will sometimes tend to give up and turn the other way and lock yourself into a place where you know there is only you and those who understand you, always know that you are blessed. Luke 6:22 says "Blessed are you when men hate you, when they exclude you and insult you and reject your name as evil, because of the Son of Man." It doesn't matter how many people judge you because of your faith, or because of your willingness to learn more and share about what Father has revealed to you, because you are doing what's right! God wants us to share that great and unconditional love that He has shared (and keeps sharing) to us to others. People will hate you, just like they hated Jesus. People will insult you right in front of your face, or in privacy with others, just the way they did to Jesus. People will reject you when you try to pour into their lives with the intention of building a relationship, just the way many people rejected Jesus from their lives; because they preferred to live the life they were living, inside their own little bubble scared of change. There is nothing wrong with being the way you are, bold for what you believe in and with the desire to share (whichever way you show that joy) to others. Always remember that the world hated Jesus before they hated you. That's part of carrying your cross daily, and something that God will reward you in the long run. I pray that we will all learn to accept one another, and come together as Christian brothers. That we may have the confidence and comfort to approach one another without worrying that they might judge firsthand. The more I read and learn, the more questions I have; and the more I realize how hard it is to live a Christian life. I know that I can't accomplish anything by myself, for I am not that strong. Fortunately we have the freedom to turn to God for help, that He may help us in our walk and live the life that His Son did here on earth. There is hope.

I love you all,

are we missing something?

2009-04-05T02:54:00.001-07:00

> a little off the topic of gospels... but..

are we missing something?
how do we compare to Jesus' first generation of disciples..?

The apostles performed many miraculous signs and wonders among the people. And all the believers used to meet together in Solomon's Colonnade. No one else dared join them, even though they were highly regarded by the people. Nevertheless, more and more men and women believed in the Lord and were added to their number. As a result, people brought the sick into the streets and laid them on beds and mats so that at least Peter's shadow might fall on some of them as he passed by. Crowds gathered also from the towns around Jerusalem, bringing their sick and those tormented by evil spirits, and all of them were healed.

Acts 5:12-16

One of the verses that has truly been stuck in me has been Matthew 18:3. NASB version states it as "Truly I say to you, unless you are converted and become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven." When you see a child, what do you notice? Dependency on their parents, humbleness towards all actions and thoughts, joy in their eyes, and the will to open up to even the most random people! Lately I've been thinking a lot about what a believer looks, but most importantly, acts like. Just like children, I need to be dependent on only God who is our only Father and Friend. He has all the sources I need, for He knows them all. Matthew 6:31-32 mentions how we shouldn't question about what we will eat tomorrow, or worry about the necessities of life, because God our Father knows these things, and will provide. Just like children, I need to be humble about the actions that the Lord invites me to be part of, and not show any pride because they will get me nowhere. I've realized how many times I will do things because it will please others, yet forget the reason as to why I am doing them. Just like children, God wants me to be joyful no matter the situation! For the past week or so, God has been telling me that I shouldn't frustrate myself over what I can do for Him, because there is nothing in this world that I can do for Him. Yes, I will accomplish many things but because He invites me to take part of His work, which will ultimately bring glory to Him and my better understanding about who Father is. Because of this revelation, I now feel FREEDOM to LOVE Him and cherish spending quality time with Jesus through His word and my relationships with others. I feel my relationship with Him strengthening, that I know it will soon lead into an intimate love relationship with Father. Finally, just like children, I need to stand firm into what I believe in and share it with that same passion God has placed inside of me to others. I realize now that God is all love, and He wants nothing more but to have a love relationship with us to the point where He knows we will trust Him into whatever He puts us through, knowing that at the end we will grow closer to Him and glorify Him! I pray that as we take on this journey to understand who Jesus really was, and the bond that he had with his Father, we will want to be just like His Son. That we will love Him to the point of death.

I love you all,

"The shortcomings of my father seem to become more apparent in my own character the older I grow, as more responsibility is added on to my shoulders. As I fail I often feel doomed to repeat a broken cycle. Jesus is the light at the end of the tunnel." - boca

Unfortunately, for all of us sons, the cliche statement "the apple doesn't fall far from the tree" is for the most part, painfully true and we are a lot more like our fathers than we ever may want to be. My dad used to always say to me that he "never wanted to be like his father," yet with his actions he would do just as his father did to him, to me. Discouragement and a spirit of criticism prevailed all throughout my childhood years, through high school, and even up to about a year ago and placed in me a severe lack of confidence and a problem with performance. It wasn't until my father was diagnosed with cancer (summer before my JA semester) that he began to see areas of his own brokenness and lack of forgiveness toward his earthy father that he began to realize his need for Jesus to let God become a father to him so that he could ask God to restore my relationship with him (my dad-- sorry that part got a bit wordy).

Jesus is more than willing to reconcile us to God, and more than willing to reconcile us to broken relationships if we just ask him and see at our own numerous "shortcomings." I'm so thankful that we have a Father in heaven who, no matter what our earthy father may be like, is always able to show us His love and provide for us the comfort and confidence we need through His son and I'm so thankful that we have a Savior that has already done more than enough to make us perfect in the sight of God.

Thanks for sharing boca, I love your writing!

Matthew 10:
I think we as an American Church have gotten way too comfortable with Jesus' words. How do we respond to the lesson Jesus teaches in Matthew 10? He says in verse 34, "Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. ³⁵ For I have come to turn
       " 'a man against his father,
       a daughter against her mother,
       a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law—     ³⁶ your enemies will be the members of your own household.'
    ³⁷ "Anyone who loves their father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves a son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. ³⁸ Whoever does not take up their cross and follow me is not worthy of me. ³⁹ Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for my sake will find it. (TNIV)

After reading through just 10 chapters of Matthew I have been challenged in so many ways. I think I have made God into what I want him to be to make me happy, rather than see him as he truly is and serve him. I will be struggling with "shedding off the ornaments" (as our guest speaker said on Monday) from the Jesus I made up and try to see the real Jesus, no matter what the cost.

Matthew Chapter1:
Matthew's Gospel is characterized as an account of Jesus's life in the context of affirming him as Israel's Messiah. Vital to this claim is the genealogy presented in chapter one to prove Jesus was of the line of King David (a necessary fullfilment of hebrew prophecy). However one look at this list of the generations that preceded Jesus seems to betray any attempt to characterize Jesus as a Nobel Heir. Prostitutes, murderers, adulterers, pagan outcasts.. this is the bloodline of our Savior.. A stumbling block to pharasees and Jewish citizens looking for a figurehead of wordly power for their salvation, Jesus is the perfect figure of hope for those who are honest about their broken nature. My family is a source of constant discouragement for me. I grew up with both my parents living under the same roof but I have lived most my life without a real model of Christian man. The shortcomings of my father seem to become more apparent in my own character the older I grow, as more responsibility is added on to my shoulders. As I fail I often feel doomed to repeat a broken cycle. Jesus is the light at the end of the tunnel. His perfection the result of so much failure.. The perfect example of beauty from brokeness. -Boca
