on the love of God.

This morning in church, God really hit me. Lately, I have been feeling like I need input in my life. Lots of it. Now that it’s summer vacation, I don’t get spiritual input in my life daily like I used to in school. And I really miss it. So I was looking forward to church, because I wanted to be filled, and I knew that God will fill me.

The sermon was about the love of God. We, as humans, deserve death and punishment. Why? Because we have chosen to live like this. We choose sin. We choose death. People ask how God can be a loving God and yet send people to Hell. But that should not be the question. We chose death and our punishment is Hell. But God, in his awesome love for us, gave us a gift. A gift of life. And it is our choice. We can choose to accept his gift and have eternal life. Or we can choose to ignore that gift, and suffer the consequences. It is up to us to choose our destination.

I bless God. For his awesome love for us. We don’t deserve it. We were born in sin, and that is how we would live, if it weren’t for the gift God has offered to us. This gives me hope. I want to live my life differently because of this. I want to live with this joy. I need you, Jesus.
