God is searching for us. I heard this preached on Sunday, and i've heard it before that, but it's just now sinking in. The most common metaphor of our relationship with God in the Bible isn't servant/king, but husband/wife!
What does it look like to pursue God? He quoted some guy who said "To have found God and yet to pursue him is the paradox of love."
I so badly don't want to be shallow, but sometimes i fear i am. when i look at the past two weeks, i don't even know what i've been doing. what did i do with my time? my thoughts? my friends? i mean, i'm busy with school, but i don't think it's been that consuming. do you guys ever fear that you're just living on the surface?
i forget the gospel a lot.
"the truth is never sexy, well you can dress her like the culture, but she'll shock 'em just as well."
I want to be shocked! i don't want any sort of dressed-up stuff or comfortable stuff or just medication. to quote i heart huckabees, "I wanna know, this is big. Please."
i say i want this, but then it's hard to accept and live out when it actually comes. it's hard to be aware of your sin.
pardon my rambling. nobody ever does, but please respond to this, i like to hear your thoughts!
p.s. i just booked my flights for lithuania and registered for classes...
