So I have absolutly no idea what is going on with any of you, I am so sorry! I have been really busy and havent even bothered to try to contact anyone. I Must confess that aver the past month I have been so incredibly selfish. I went to studentlife camp at the beach. It was the most amazing camp I have ever been to! It wasn't some over emotional sobfest. It was real people truly worshipping god! There were 35 kids who got saved! HOW AMAZING! God is doing so much in my life right now, I have met so many amazing people who have influenced me in so many ways! I didn't know that I could learn so much in one week!
I have been reading over and over 1 John 4:7-21! In reading this I have realized that until recently, I have never truly loved another, not as a friend, or a brother, or a sister, or a boyfriend, nothing. I have never truly known how to love. Through our actions we must show Gods love to others. If you love God, You must also love your brothers! The one and only perfect person was Jesus Christ! But us as humans, are not perfect! We never will be here on earth. And as each of us will make mistakes and sin against our brothers and sisters, we must forgive each other. Forgiveness is love. God sent his one and lony son to be tortured, beaten, spit on, talked down to , cursed, and so much more. He didn't do this just because. HE DID IT FOR US! We owe so much yet we don't act like we've been died for. God forgives us,
therefore, we must also forgive, for if we do not forgive our brothers, our Father will not for give us!(ephesians 4:32, Colossians 3:13) We must love people with the same love that Christ has for us!
I just want you all to know how amazing things are in my life right now! I am so content, and I never thought that I would be. I thought that in order to be happy i neede friends and attention and boyfriends. I was so wrong! God has filled my every need 10 times more than I thought they ever would be! I love my Jesus!
Well I hope everyone is doing well, I am praying for you guys, And I will tyr to get in contact with some of you soon!
Love Always,
Jennifer
