God is amazing!
Tonight Lord, was just what I needed. I FORGOT how AMAZING it is to have fellowship and worship and learn with people my age that have the same passion that I do. I felt so content, standing there singing "you give and take away, Lord blessed be Your name" with my hands raised in surrender. It felt so good to connect with You, and to the people there. The message tonight was about relating to Christ as your KING. I'm not part of this earth- I'm part of God's kingdom. When I pray, I'm praying to a King, and when I serve, I am serving a King. WOW.
Someone commented that the Lord never takes away anything good. That life's a trade-off; he only takes away bad and gives you good in place of it.
I disagree. I think God does take away good things.
But it's only to give you something BETTER. And it's ALWAYS done in love.
I do a horrible job at witnessing. I don't want people to feel that I am better than them because I am saved. I don't want them to think I'll judge them. So I keep my mouth shut.
I don't ever want to give the impression that a Christian's life is easy. In fact, I think it's really tough. Tougher in the sense that I have a King to please, and that's really tough work. And this King allows bad things to happen and good things to be taken away, because he wants me to grow.
I think I wrote an entry similar to this before. Anyway, even though being a Christian is tough, it is SO worth it. If you don't know God, seriously, you are missing out- both on eternal life and the most wonderful relationship you'll ever know.
