Humbled.

John 12:47-52

As for the person who hears my words but does not keep them, I do not judge him. For I did not come to judge the world, but to save it. There is a judge for the one who rejects me and does not accept my words; that very word which I spoke will condemn him at the last day. For I did not speak of my own accord, but the Father who sent me commanded me what to say and how to say it. I know that his command leads to eternal life. So whatever I say is just what the Father told me to say.

It all fits. It's like a puzzle that is put together at last, and the only reason why it wasn't totally put together in the first place is because you didn't know all of the puzzle pieces that went in the puzzle. It's like finding them all on your own and they are BEAUTIFUL at last. And your eyes are opened into a world with a whole different light. Words in a song start to take on a different meaning. Everything is more glorious. Everything starts to sing because what this tells you, what that has hit you starts to take on a new meaning: you are precious enough to be saved.

Everything in my posts down there, all about how God had to make a way for us to be saved because we wouldn't be able to get into Heaven if he didn't send His Son in Human Form so that He could follow God's orders and die on the cross. The fact that God had to send HIM just so we could be in Heaven with Him! The sacrafice! What you had just believed because people around you believed it takes on a whole new light because you yourself find for yourself this beauty, the beauty in it! It's sooo cool!

aaahh. :D

It's like rededication. I remember in middle school I was the type that kept going up front at the time of rededication at youth every sunday. It makes me laugh to think about what Jeff could possibly be thinking if he saw me go every sunday. It makes me thanful for Middle School youth pastors who deal with middle schoolers hearts in such loving and caring ways, even when they don't fully get it, but they know they want to serve God anyway. But I think that's what rededication is really supposed to be. It's when you come to a place that you get a fresh new outlook on why Christ had to die! The same stuff that you've been taught before, but it becomes new for you. It's not your parents' religion anymore - it's real to YOU!


Bethany Dillon - The Kingdom

It tapped me on the shoulder
today when I got home
I saw everything collecting dust
It made me hope there was something more

I pour over pages, desperate to find out why
The cripple at your table has what I'm longing to find

Teach me how to hum it
Because I don't know the words yet
Help me see the light
I'm reaching through the fight
Yahweh, show me the Kingdom
Arms open wide
Death swallowed up by life
Yahweh, show me the Kingdom
