Life

So, im working my way towards India. Or rather, Jesus is working my way towards India. i realized the other day that even though i may not end up in India, God has used this passion in me. ive changed because of it. i would not be who i am right now but for the love He gave me for India. its made me realize God's plan for the entire world, opened my eyes to be sensitive to others, changed my ways of thinking, cut my pride down, given my a compassion for the things that break God's heart. But most of all, i think i would be much more of a miserable jerk than i already am if God had not used India to increase my love for Him.

Four words constantly run through my mind each day: love God, love people. love God, love people. love God, love people. love God, love people. love...well, you get the picture. its simple. loving God comes first. out of that love for God comes a great love for people. and those are the two most important things in life. ive realized that out of my love for God springs my love for the people of India. Lately my flesh has been telling me some pretty horrible things. "No, tace, if you go to india, life will be hard. life will be difficult. you will never ever have time to yourself anymore. you probably wont be able to handle it."

2 Corinthians 1:26-31: Brothers and sisters, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are, so that no one may boast before him. It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption. Therefore, as it is written: “Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord.

and after i read that, i breath easy. For i have nothing to worry about. and satan can go where he belongs. amen for my weaknesses and struggles, for in them is my Savior more glorified.

But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him. 1 Corinthians 6:17


Mhmmm. God is soooooooooooooo good. amen and amen. :)
