The Journey of a Lifetime

             So the past two days I have been in this very reflective and thinking mood and I’ve been think a lot about how far I’ve come in this journey that I’m on and I know have a long way to go. However, I can’t help but stand back in awe of what GOD has done so far. He is truly the Greatest Artist of all time because who I was a year and half was a completely different person and I was not proud of whom I was. However, sometimes I can’t help but wonder should I be proud of whom I am now? I always say that I am blessed beyond words, but am I truly worthy of the blessings that I have received?

            The answer is that I’m not, but because GOD loved me so much that He sent His Son to die on a cross for me. Have you ever let that sink in? Jesus actually died a pain staking death for you, for me, for the world. When I think about that I feel so loved and blessed beyond words.

            On Sunday my youth group closed a chapter in our story, in this thing we call AXIS. We were challenged by someone who I am forever grateful to, simply do one thing, Show up. Show…Up… Two small but powerful words and two words I will never forget. That is now my goal, to show up in my world and in my faith. To be the point of change where ever I go. I hope that I’m cut out to do what GOD wants me to do, but hey, he’s in the business of making unfit things fit for His Purpose.

All for HIM

     I have blogged in a while, and I wish I could do it more but school has started and it has made a life really hectic and hard to do anything that I want to do now. However, since school has started GOD has opened my eyes to a hurting world, where people are in desperate need of a savior that will love them. This breaks heart especially when I hear my peers tell me some of their stories and I want to help them but there isn’t much that I can do but pray. Then this Sunday my church had an amazing worship led by some amazing worship leaders and during the end of one of the songs I looked around me and I saw all of my friends worshiping and in that moment I felt at peace and loved by an amazing GOD, then I felt like GOD told me “what if the hurting kids at school got to experience my love the way you do?” Then I remembered what my youth group’s name symbolized, why we are axis, why I am axis. I am axis to be the point of change where ever I go.

     Now I will admit I was a little scared, what would people think of me and I what would happen if the rejected me because of my faith? Then I remembered our goal as Christians is to become more Christ-like and Jesus didn’t care what people thought of him when he was ministering to people. I can’t sit around and let my world suffer and sometimes I think I can’t change my world now as a teen but I realized that it doesn’t matter who young you are you can change people’s lives for Christ and that is exactly what I intend to I want to be remembered at my school as the kid who always loved GOD and wouldn’t shut up about Him. That is what I am called to do and I am going to do it all for him.

Love is my game

     So lately GOD has been teaching me a lot about love. He's taught me that love is not a warm fuzzy feeling; it's a lot more than that. Love is a whole lot of things according to the bible. I could write a whole post on what the bible says love is. 

     But the one thing I have really learned about love is that GOD calls us to love one another, and that sometimes means the people who have hurt us or we think don't deserve our love. GOD calls us to forgive the people who have hurt us because GOD forgave us when we hurt him and our goal is to become Christ like. 

     Now it kinda feels like I'm rambling and not making any sense. C.S Lewis put it in a good way, he said " To be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable because GOD has forgiven the inexcusable in you". Forgiving people to me is an act of love and everyone should be forgiven because GOD commands us to love one another. 

 

At least that's my two sense.
