Lead Me To The Corss

Okay, so I typed all of this last night, but it was past my bedtime, and I thought I heard somebody walking around in the living room and kitchen, so I didn't want to get busted. Oh, and I'm gonna continue from where I left off as well. :)

((First off, I have no clue what I'm gonna type.))

It's been two months, and one day since I posted my last update on this blog. A lot's been going on, so I'll try to sum it up for you in a few words a sentence....I had school. Winter Spirit week. Christmas Break. Short Break. Christmas came. Got cool things. Uncle came over. Spent time with uncle. Uncle left. Playing Kingdom Hearts a lot. School started. Went to school for a week. Winter camp. Awesome experience. Great worship time. Long-overdue-time-with-God-I-could-have-at-any-time-was-accomplished. Came back to school. Got back in my lame routine (Wake up late. Rush putting clothes on. Brush teeth. Skip breakfast. Eat at school. Have school. Talk to friends in class. Fail a lot. Cry from stress. Do all over again. Oh, and struggle with spiritual strength.) Tried diving deeper into God. Half worked. Idk. Trying to get over some friends, or not so much friends. Eh. And, trying to Love. So, that's preeeety much everything since December 5th. Haven't talked about God too much, so I will now. Boy, do I Love Him. he is just so great. He gives me so much. He gives me so much that I will need. And want. He is my provider. He is my deliverer. He is my strength. He is what I gather everything from. I love my Lord. He is too great for words, but I'll try to explain Him anyways. Okay...here it goes... Brave, Bold, Providing, Pro-Life, Savior, Saving Grace, the best thing ever, Amazing, Loving, Caring, Compassionate for His people, for His children, Honest, Thoughtful, Grace, Wonderful, Mighty, Powerful, Hosanna, Messiah, Deliverer, Protector, Truth, Justice, Victory...and everything else that I didn't think of too. Lol. But that's just to get us started. I have nothing bad to say about my god. Why? 'Because He's God, of course' No, wrong. Well, right, but wrong. I have nothing bad to say about Him because He is perfect. In every way. Have you ever heard that one song that was in The Jungle Book? Baloo sang it. I think it went, "Wa oo oo, I wanna be like ya oo oo. I wanna walk like you, talk like you, and..." yeah, something like that. But yeah, I just remembered that. I used to be in love with that movie. And every other Disney classic you can think of. Toy Story, Aladdin, Jungle Book, The Little Mermaid, Cinderella, and eeeeeverything else, pretty much. I would memorize all of the songs to the point in which I sang every lyric perfectly, or I would mumble it because I couldn't understand what they were saying. Well, anyways, back to what I had originally brought up. The Jungle Book. I now realize that you can sing that sing from the point of view from a child (1, a little kid, and 2, a Child of God). from a Child of God, you're proclaiming you want to be like the Lord. Well, if that wasn't obvious, how about this. I want to become apart of the Lord. Not just become LIKE Him. I want to be apart OF Him. but if you didn't already know, I am. And if you've accepted Christ, you are too. because once you accept Christ into Your Heart, Life, and as your Souls, etc, you become reconnected to the Love that He has sent out into the world. The Love that He gave up for us. Jesus Christ. As we accept Jesus Christ, we re-become apart of Him that was lost, but is now found. The Bible states in Genesis 2:7, "...the Lord God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being." Yes, He formed us. From dust and His breath. But, do you know what He made us to be? He made us to be living being, created to live in His likeness like He intended. God is Love, and so that means anything of God is Love. His breath is Love. Oh, and He made us with His own two hands. So, that must mean WE are Love! DING! DING! DING! We have a winner! We are Love!! We were created to BE Love! To SOW that Love! Oh my goodness, my hand is cramping right now, and I REALLY want some Lucky Charms, but WE ARE LOVE! LOVE CAN OVERCOME ALL!!! Matthew 4: 1-11 talks about how Jesus was lead into the desert by Satan and was tempted. And yes, Jesus, as perfect as He is, was tempted too, but that's only because he was in His human form on this earth. But he was also God...born as a man...not into sin like every other man, because He was conceived by the Holy Spirit in Mary. Anyways, in verse 3, it says, "The tempter came to him and said, "If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread." Jesus answered, "It is written, 'Man does no live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.' " So, that means that Jesus overcame that temptation, did He not? Why? Because He did not obey temptation, as good as it sounded(because He had been fasting for forty days and nights, praying and worshiping God. So I believe that one would be hungry if you didn't eat for that long.), and He listened to the truth that had been written in His Father's Holy Word. And there's another point in this verse. You don't have to prove everything. You just have to have a comeback that satisfies what you're being wanted to prove. Not a smart-alack answer, but a straightforward one. It doesn't have to be rude, obnoxious, or anything like that. Just the truth, and something to back it up with. like Jesus did. I encourage you to continue reading to verse 11. A very strong, and moving passage. So, so end this story short...lol...you are made from love. You should live up to what you were made to be. You were made to be that love that Christ Jesus has shown us on the Cross. That love that sacrificed Himself for us all. That Love that will overcome any obstacle, whether it be school work, relationship problems, family problems, whatever. If you have that love, it will take over the bad parts, and fulfill the desires of your heart(desires, not wants.). God is with you always. Even in the middle of a storm of this life we live. He is holding onto you, even if it doesn't feel so. let God's love shine in you today, tomorrow, and always. And yet another point! Satan knows the Bible. He as an angel himself, but then he tried growing stronger than god. He wanted to be more powerful. But then god sent him down to earth to suffer a painful death. He died, and is now Satan. He knows Heaven. He knows the Bible. Inside and out. Don't think he's just dumb, even if he is. He is a threat, but only if God allows him that power in your life. And I know what you're thinking. "Why would God give Satan, the bad guy, power over me?!?!" It's not to harm or hurt you, though it may seem that way at the time, but God is only allowing him that power so you can learn from what Satan does to you and grow stronger than him. It's all about over coming evil, and growing closer to the Lord. Satan is strong, BUT NOT STRONGER THAN THE POWER OF CHRIST'S LOVE FOR YOU, AND IN YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

Jesus, I thank You so much for whoever may be reading this. For whoever is not reading this. For whoever is contemplating reading this or going on Facebook. They are truly wonderful, and utterly in Love with You. They may or may not see it, but Jesus, their spirit yearns for You! It yearns for Your Love, Father! Your everlasting, never-failing Love! Jesus, I pray that You would deliver the ones Love You, Lord, and the ones that need You, Jesus. May You swoop down on them like a bundle of bricks and just let Your Love explode, Father! Bless the sinners and the Lovers. Blessed be Your Name, Jesus. Your Mighty, Holy Name above all else! We thank You Lord for everything! I praise You for allowing Your spirit to work through me and others to outreach to those we know, and have yet to know, God. All Glory be to You, Lord. With much Love, Andrew.
