I want to be bold for GOD!

I wanna put my two cents in. I don’t wanna stand on the sidelines, I wanna be in the action! I wanna be mighty for GOD! I wanna learn and grow. I wanna speak and be heard. I want God! I wanna be bold and passionate for him! I wanna never look back!

 

I have already written this 4 times and deleted several paragraphs, as I just don’t have the words to say. I don’t know what scripture to use or who to quote. I just don’t know. I’m not God I don’t have the answers. Honestly I KNOW I never will have All the answers. But isn’t life great that way! What would your life be if you knew it all. Would you feel love or joy or excitement or any other sensation good or bad? Would you fear or feel pain? I don’t think so.

 

I think mystery is beautiful and frustrating, and I thank God for it! Faith wouldn’t be faith if we knew everything (thanks Laura for that one). There wouldn’t be faith if we knew everything.

 

So your searching. That’s Great! So your questioning. Good for you! So your scared. So am I! Were all here together. Suffering, crying, loving, living... That’s life. Atleast that’s life here! I can’t tell you what your life will be beyond this earthly place... But I know where I will be. I know what I feel. And most importantly I know who I will be with! GOD, JESUS!

 

Someone asked if God is good then why does he allow bad in the world. My response is he doesn’t want bad here, we put it here, we decided, we used our free choice he gave us. His response so then God isn’t perfect. God wouldn’t allow free choice if he knew it would produce imperfections. I say to that person, thank God for you. Thank God for making me think... and I pray you will do the same!

 

God gave us choice so he didn’t force our love. If your parents demanded love from you... would that be love? Think about it, how often do people like being forced? How often do people like giving up control? Yeah, sometimes I think life would be easier if God forced me and everyone else to be perfect... but would it. If everything was wonderful would I know when something is truly amazing. If all we did is love, would I know how deep love can be? If I all I felt is joy, would I be happy? Would I know what happiness is if I never felt pain?

 

I love God! I love knowing I’m never alone! I love knowing my best friend is always listening! I love that my best friend loves me so much that he saved me. Loved me so much that he... that he DIED FOR ME!

 

And that’s all for now... I wanna right so much more... But I don’t know what to right. I don’t even know if what I said makes sense, or if I am just rambling.

 

I WANT TO BE ON FIRE FOR THE ONE WHO SET THE LIGHT IN THE SKY! I WANT TO LOVE GOD, AND NEVER BE ASHAMED. I WANT TO MAKE GOD PROUD!
