it has stuck with me
i have been meaning to write about this for some time and havent had the time it is really late or early rt now and everyone is sleeping but i have had this sermon on my mind for quite some time and wanted to share it with you. Eric and i went to his best friend damon's church for christmas eve and well it was nice to see what other churches do or talk about (the environment and such).Damon's father is the pastor. Since it was our first time we of course were shy. k bear i would love to join you and richard to a meeting. i dont know how you feel about that but i have always been open to it.
The pastor was talking to us about how great god is to offer us jesus and the selflessness of forgiving us of our sins. He then chose to lead the sermon in a story all about "an un describale gift" referring to the sacrifice jesus made dieing for our sins...
he asked us all retorickly if anyone could describe the word :undescribable . and that many had tried to describe jesus' undescribable gift of forgiveness was. the definitions were quite interesting.
he then tried to relate getting a gift we couldnt describe from someone like if someone gave you a gift you had never expected bc it was lame or you had no use for or if you got a brand new expensive car how the feeling would be undescribable but not real and forever binding in our hearts and souls.
it got me thinking.. now these are just my thoughts and my views on this
but i feel like god gave us as woman a small taste of this undescribable gift. giving birth... creating life inside of you and the feeling you get when you see your baby delivered from you and feel so appreciative of the gift of life and that god blessed you with true love and the miracle of creating life because of him.. that to me is undescribable and i will forever be in awe of the lord and could never doubt him or his presence.
this gift is not as powerful as the gift of forgiveness and the presence of the holy spirit but to me this is what i feel is my closest brush with the and almighty power of god. it lets me know he is there and that i should never forget what he has done for me and all of humanity.
i dont think i did his sermon justice i think i might of been a bad story teller but this has stuck with me bc it really opened my eyes to the realization to gods undescribable gift ... life ... and further more the hope for eternal life.
