Hmmm.....

Today my thoughts are nonstop for some reason. I am really pondering the love of God today. For one I am really thankful that he loves me even in my shortcomings and all, Lord knows there are soooo many! I had a situation happen today where I left feeling very misunderstood and inadequate. So I took my thoughts to the Lord and asked Him to reveal if there was any wrong that I had done and to please show it to me and forgive me. And continued to ask for Him to speak into my life freely about the situation. All he keeps reminding me of is that He loves me sooo much and He is pleased with my decision to follow Him with my WHOLE heart, mind and soul. Sometimes I think others around us can tend to think we are too radical in our stance for the Lord. But I was thinking today.....why is being too radical wrong? I mean, if it is affecting the way you view others in a way that is not Christlike, then of course.....but I am simply talking about being sold out for Jesus Christ...not loving any part of the world...being in it, but not of it. I think because of where I came from....a total world lover!.....I am eternally grateful to be a Christ Lover with everything in me and have abandoned my love for the world gladly. I never want to return to where I was! I pray the Lord continues to ignite my fire in spite of those around me who would have a differing opinion on the "radicalness" of my walk with Jesus. Lord, keep me humble and most of all, let Love shine forth more than anything else!! May my life be a reflection of you...and if it is not, please change me!!!
