slapped me in the face this morning and made me realize that I MUST worship God with my ALL

God knows your pain

Sometimes we go thought life and we know that God is in control and has a plan for us but yet we treat him like someone who has never experiences pain or what we go through. We need to remember that he came down to earth and experienced pain, temptation, hunger, thirst and all the other things that we feel as humans. On top of that, he is the one who allows each and everything that happens to us both the good and the bad and he knows exactly how we feel in every situation

Learning from history

Today while doing my daily devotion, it dawned on me that God's word has been proven to be true time and time again throughout history and yet so many people deny God. through all the tyrants and rulers of many nations who tried to say that they were gods of the earth and yet they all died just like anyone else and all that they said to be true were later on proven to be false. Yet to this day, people deny that God exists and that his word is false. Are people really that stubborn and stupid that they can't see what is right in front of them? Then again it doesn't all that surprise me seeing all the stupidity that goes on in this world. Thank God that this life is only temporary.

God's bleesings

There are days that you just take a step back and realize just how nice you have it in life. Today was one of those days. i mean there are always things that I can nit pick at and complain about and I'm sure I do that everyday but after I pick at everything that I don't like, i usually realize that I'm lucky to have that thing with the flaw that I'm complaining about. If you can understand what I'm saying. All in all is that God is good to me, much more than I deserve and it's sad that a lot of times, I forget that.

Love so amazing

Just yesterday, my friend sent me a link to a few youtube videos of some Chinese guy rapping about Christ and at first i didn't think much of it and just thought it was kinda cool. Then i took a look at the comments and realized that the guy rapping was Jin. Now I've listened to Jin rap before and although his rhymes are really clever and funny, they were in no way uplifting to God at all and it did not show him as a Christian at all. Along with the Christian rap that was on youtube, there was also a video of Jin's testimony about how he became Christian and how God has worked in his life. Never would I have ever thought of Jin turning Christian and doing a complete 180 of what he used to do. He still raps but everything he talks about in his rhymes are completely different. It's truly amazing how God could work in someone's heart like Jin's and just change him like that.

confused but faithful

Right now I sit in my room in the usual chair in the usual place listening to the usual music doing the usual thing. Not much has changed since I went back to Chicago and came back. Saw a few friends and just had some good food. But sitting here I feel just so alone and empty, something I haven't felt in a while but as bad as it feels, it's finally setting me straight. In this time of emptiness I'm finally taking my devotional book which i haven't touched since i came back to Purdue and opening where I left off. I know it's not much but this sadness is the push I need to finally get back on track. I've had a lot of time to think about what has happened this past year between all the people I've loved and I'm really surprised at what has happened to some of the relationships. However, I strongly believe that God made and broke all the relationships that he did for a reason. Even if I can't see any reason for him to I know he knows better than i do and I'm gonna hold on to that till the day I die.
