what

what is it?
what amazes me about God right now is that
he is selfless. he has been working on my heart and posture this summer on
being selfless like him, but i do not even compare. love is not self-seeking,
so he has never sought after for his own benefit but always for ours. The word
selfless does not come into play solely by giving gifts (like i do through compassion.org) but in everything. From gifts to thoughts to actions to energy
to effort to absolutely everything. When i continually realize just how much we are in comparison to God, how small we are, how unholy we are, etc.(without Jesus) and
how he does things that we take for granted like let us worship him, let us talk
with him, let us speak his name, it humbles me.

i have been a christian for almost 4 years now and i am just beginning to put pieces
together about the Bible, its so intense! But just knowing about the trinity, the atonement, the power of Jesus' name, the resurrection of Christ, etc. is powerful stuff. i really really really really really really want to preach powerfully(like Samuel the prophet whose words never fell to the floor). i really really want people to understand the glimpse of God the way i have. i really want them to grow grow grow with him. pray that God uses me.

  2. Hey Bijou!!

    I went back and reread this blog, and I was wondering, do you have any good stories to blog about since you posted these hopes/desires?

    (wanting to preach powerfully, see people grow and see God in some of the ways you do)
