Love... day 1

What does it mean that GOD is Love?

Love defined-"a profound tender, passionate affection for another person." "a feeling of warm personal attachment or deep affection" "sexual passion or desire"

I don't believe these definitions are adequate for if GOD himself cannot be defined because he is to powerful and mighty then I am convinced that love cannot be defined either. Its a simple equation.

Sent his son to die for me=GOD=Love how can any man define this?!

What does it mean to put your trust in GOD?

To fully surrender to his command. Since he is love; and to trust is to surrender doubt; then by our living in surrender to GOD we are trusting his judgement and path for our lives more than we are trusting our own hands and feet, in providing and guiding ourselves. Therefore I am convinced that the only way to understand GOD=Love is to surrender all control into his hands.

How to do this?
Don't yet know.

Being my own me

For the first time in my whole life I'm making decisions for me. Not to please the people around me but doing what I believe is the best for me. I've realized ive determined the truth in the past as what I'd been raised to believe is right and wrong and what I've heard in church. After reading a new book by frances chan called Forgotten GOD I've been convicted on how I should discover for myself what and why i believe what I believe. In the course of the past 6 months I've said goodbye to everything that was and have found myself making a completely new beginning to my life. I left my church am preparing to leave a city I've lived for almost 9 years. I'm saying goodbye to being comfortable. I have new hair, a new church, a new home and am working on new friendships. So much change is upon me and if I'm honest im intimidated but excited because of the adventure lurking at every corner. I love all of this change and I know that the LORD is going to guide me as i go against life's challenges.

I am so excited to grow. I am convinced the LORD will reveal himself to me in a way I've never seen before. My desire is to grow closer to him. Ready. Set. Go!
