Today i was sitting in church. Listening to the sermon. And truth me told i spaced a little bit. and all of a sudden i was paying full attention. Because the pastor caught my interest with one sentence "God disciplines the people he loves."
Which made me think...and really think. If God disciplines those he loves...he must really love me. Like a lot. And i know everyone always complains and says "my life sucks" or something like that and while i don't think my life sucks. And i'm thankful for everything that comes into my life (whether those things be bad or good) i still have a lot of crap happen.
But maybe what i call crap is God trying to teach me lessons. I mean the sermon Pastor Syens was telling was about a sheep and how the shepherd let it break it's leg so it would stop running away...and once his leg as healed he never left the shepherd again. So really when God throws all this crap at me it's supposed to make me closer to him. And it works.
Some things in life suck. Some suck really bad. But when you think about it whenever all these sucky things come into our lives we're constantly praying to God hoping he'll help us get through it.
So really the point i'm trying to make with this is that life sucks...but God wants us to praise him and help others learn to praise him. I always say everything happens for a reason...and now i know what that reason is
Song of the day: Who Am I-Casting Crowns...it got stuck in my head the moment i thought of this
Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young
