In the past God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets at many times and in various ways, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom also he made the universe.” - Hebrews 1:1-2Boom. Roasted.
That verse is one that definitely hit home today... One thing I've always thought about (but not struggled with) is how prevalent God is in the Old Testament and how He literally says to them "Hey you, you're being stupid and I'm tired of it. Quit it now or I'll wash you away". Which is not only super baller because God is awesome like that, but because of how simple it was to contact God and have Him as a consistent source of love and
GRACE GUTHRIE. GRACE GUTHRIE. GRACE GUTHRIE.
This girl makes my heart happy. Seriously, not just a little. A lot. She is one of the coolest people I know and one of the most loving people I know. I'd do anything for her- I hope you know that Grace!! I heart you a whole freakin' lot.
REAGAN SINCLAIR. REAGAN SINCLAIR. REAGAN SINCLAIR.
I can't wait to room with this girl... so full of joy and love for everyone she meets. I can say with full confidence that this girl is one of the most genuine girls I've ever met. I'm so luckyyyy!
Aaaaaanyway, back to the original topic: Jesus.
So the cool thing about looking at the Old Testament and how prevalent God was in that time, I thought about why that didn't strike a jealousy chord in my heart. But when you think about it, I experience not only a life where God is completely and totally prevalent, but I have an intimate and special relationship with Him. Take that, Old Testament people. HA HA. But I seldom think about the reality of having a relationship with my creator. Me, a sinner, undeserving, unworthy, and yet chosen to have that kind of relationship. How cool that really is!! Now, part two of this is how awesome it is that I have the intimate relationship, and it comes with having God completely radiate in my heart and take over everything I do and transform it. I am so amazed at the fact that God helped me and loved me and made it known. He invaded my life and changed me. I did nothing to change who I am or what I do. I simply asked Him to move me... and He did. I know God exists because of who I am. I know God exists because of who He is. and how He is. and how He loves.
Okay, study time. More later! Vaya con Dios!!
