"He is there whispering in our ears. We won't always hear him and thats okay. He desires for us to hear every word he says, but he died because we can't."
"I'm sick of seeing people who supposedly follow Jesus, living thoroughly unhappy lives."
"It seems rather ironic that America always sends missions over to Africa. People in Africa know Jesus. They might speak a different language, but that doesn't mean they don't know Him. There is need in Africa, there is need in Curacao, there is also need in LA and Juneau. As earhly beings we have this diea that things are bound by lines: state lines, country lines, continental lines. God is universal. he is in Tennessee, South Dakota, Zimbabwe and Asia. he cannot be contatined by our mental map. Seeking Jesus is not something that we must travel for. It's not something where plains and trains and automobiles are needed. Jesus IS real in the dirty, AIDS infested land of Africa, but he's just as real on your back porch."
this has absolutely nothing to do with your post, but on your profile picture. I like it. Matisyahu is incredible.
ReplyDeleteNow, something that does deal with your post:

How true this is. I myself am guilty of this very thing. Just the other day I was thinking of how miserable I was. But why should I be? We should all have profound joy in Christ; but we let our petty circumstances get in the way of this joy. Why is this?
