I'm often inspired to write about God and I love that. I don't do it thinking about who's reading it. I do it just because it needs to be said.
I've gotten many compliments on most things that I write on here, but never really thought it was very good. I guess when my heart is really into it then it comes out much better if I just wrote for no reason.
Usually the words come flying out with no problem, almost like something natural. I can't really explain it.
I'm glad my faith grew, because writing about God is the most natural thing I've done. I know my mom's death helped me connect closer with Him. I remember being so amazed that she could go through all that and still hold strong to God, not that I expected her to hate Him or blame Him, but she could have.
I know seeing her be so strong helped me cope with what was happening to her. If she didn't panic, neither should I.
I'm thankful God got a hold of me and didn't let go. I'm also thankful the devil let go. I expect he'll try again soon, but once again God will be on my side and you can't beat that army.

I watched The Passion of the Christ for the third time the other night. It's amazing the difference I saw in my views of the movie once I was saved. The first time I saw it I knew what it was about, but it didn't really hit me. This time it smashed me in the face.
I was fine through most of the movie. I made it through everything up until the crucifixion. Right when I saw them nailing Him to the cross I started crying. I cried through the rest of the movie and most of the credits. It hit me hard and fast. Everything he went through was for me.
ME?!?! ME? I'm nobody. How could you love someone so much to be beaten, spat on, cursed at, hated, DIE for, that committed sins you had nothing to do with. He died because of my sins? Sins I knew were wrong. Sins that most of the time I know I shouldn't do, He tells me, I just don't listen. That...that is love.
I'm pretty sure no one would do that to save everyone. He did, and I can't write enough blogs about how amazing I find that. But I will keep writing any deep or meaningful thought He provokes in me. Because...maybe I'm supposed to? I don't know, but for now I love it.

Amen, sista. I love it. Mmm mm.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen the Passion, and I expect my reaction will be the same when I do. It's so easy as Christians to KNOW the truth, but until it "smashes us in the face" by actually SEEING it with our own eyes (or a depiction of it in this case)we don't fully grasp it. That's sad, because it just proves what visual creatures we are and how our faith (seeing w/out believing) is so important.
