I'm reading two books at the moment. Both talk about your view of God and WHO HE IS!
I wanted to share a part of "Crazy Love"
" have you ever thought about how diverse and creative God is? He didn't have to make hundreds of different kinds of bananas, but He did. He didn't have to put 3000 species of trees within one squre mile in the Amazon Jungle but He did. God didn't have to creat so many kinds of laughter. Think about all the different sounds of your friends laughs- wheezes, snorts, silent, loud, obnoxious!"
I'm one of those people that when trying to tell someone God exists, I automatically start with nature... I've never really thought about laughter. I love to laugh.. personally I have about 5, all of which are annoying and loud but they are mine and my friends love them...
God always shows me little things that make him real but I wonder what he shows other people.
How does God show himself to you?
I went to a funeral yesterday. I hate funerals but I learned a few things at this one. They were married for 50+ years and he could count on one hand how many times he'd been away from his wife. I want a love like that. Being from a broken home my biggest fear is Divorce but to see love like that just gives me great hope that I will find the one God has for me, in his own time...
" The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation"- 2 Samuel 22:2-3
"We are a culture that relies on technology over community, a society in where spoken and written word are cheap and easy to come back and excessive" After reading this I had to stop and thing for awhile. Francis told a story about his wife and that sometimes you become so familiar with something it becomes common.
A.W. Tozer said- "What comes into out minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us." Your view of God effects how you think of him!
Whats your view of God?
Are you so familiar with God that he has become common?
Now go to Salvage and read!
