So it's almost Valentine's Day and I'm stuck on Love

You know how when you do something over and over and over again it looses it's "umph"...like how the pledge of allegiance all throughout public school turns into "eye pledgg a lee junce to thuf lag uhv the blahblahblah"

A wonderful treasure that should never loose it's umph but unfortunately tends to be forgotten is the verse John 3:16

I mean I understand that the Word of God never comes back void, and I totally support the spreading of the Gospel...but come on!!! Can we really just print a name with some letters and think that we bird-brained humanity will get it!?!? In the Great Commission, Jesus gave His mandate for us to GO AND DISCIPLE all people. That means....you gotta go....and you gotta disciple...as in move yo little tooshie and start lovin on da peoples. [Using His undying love as your foundation and sustenance of course.] He never said to scribble a part of the message on the UNDERSIDE of things we throw away!!!! We secretly put it on the bottom of soft-drink cups at fast-food chains, or inside the fold of a shopping bag......I meannnnn REALLLLYYY!?!?!?

We are a fallen people that need to wake up and smell the wonderful coffee that JESUS LOVES! No because of anything that we did, do, or will ever attempt, but solely because

GOD so loved the world, that He sent His ONLY Son, that WHOEVERRRRRR believes in Him shall not perish but have EVER-STINKING-LASTING LIFEEEEEE!!!!


AHHH!!! I hate the evilness of society that I am so prone to. I feel like we've degraded the Good News into another "peldgg uhv a lee junce". Even me, someone who loves the Lord with all her heart, mind, soul, and strength is guilty of forgetting the potency of the Gospel. I will be the first to admit that I fall short of the glory of God.

...But transitioning to a more philosophical note....If everyone really truly grasped the full power of those 20-some words depending on your translation.....we would not live in the world that we know now. I'm not saying all of our problems would melt away and we'd be completely carefree, but I am saying it'd be a heck of a lot easier to fulfill our purpose which God ordained...to love Him and worship Him forever.

Recently, I did some desperately needed cleaning of my emotional closet with God. There were a handful of things that I felt were dragging me down and they all centered around the ginormous love-problem we have as a society. I kept wondering why "so-and-so" didn't love me, why I'd been missing out on the fullness I could feel, why I didn't have this or that....why me.....and then I remembered that it's not about me. It's never about me. I'm just a selfish, self-centered poophead that gets really caught up in the RHIAshow. Everything that was ever created was created to point to Jesus as King forever and ever. I realized that all of these problems in my emotional closet were because I'd forgotten the complete AMAZINGNESS of john 3:16. The God of the ENTIRE UNIVERSE LOOOOOVVVVVEEESSSSS ....me!!?? Ohhh mannnnn!!!!!!! What a horrible point to ever miss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I could go on and on and write your patience away with this topic so I'll make my point. Whoever you are.....probably the only person who reads my blog other than myself.....God L-O-V-E-S you! He hearts you! He adores you! He sent His perfect Son to go and die a horrific death just so you can be with Him! That's why it's not a show stopper if your friends don't love you, or your girlfriend or boyfriend. Those are privileges to have. It's not the end of the world if your family doesn't love you, even though it can MAJORLY SUCK!!!!


And it's not utter destruction if you don't love you, because HE loves you....more than you can understand, He does.


So please, on valentine's day, let Jesus be yours, because He's calling and asking "Be mine beloved, be mine."
