I once met this dude..

So a couple days ago i met a new Christian. By that i mean he has only been a Christian for about two years. When he started telling me about how much passion God had put in his heart for this generation and how much he wanted to save the lost, it stared stirring me up, getting me more and more excited to go out and conquer the world with grace and love. Being around "new believers" actually lends strength to those who have known Christ for a long time. Seeing the fresh joy that comes with being born again refreshes the joy and efforts of others.
One of my favorite quotes is by A. W. Tozer. He said "What comes to minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us. Worship is pure or base as the worshiper entertains high or low thoughts of God. For this reason the gravest question before the church today is God himself. And the most portentous fact about any man is not what he may at a given time, may say or do, but what he in his deepest heart conceives about God."
What we believe about God is what matters most in our lives. If we believe God poured out his life because he loved us then we will turn around and pour out that same love on others. the other important thing is grace. I'm still just beginning to grasp it, and i'll never fully understand. We would be fools to think we can limit God to something we are capable of comprehending. He is so vast that i feel tiny thinking about one part of who he is.

He almost seems mad at times. To think that he would give up his son because he LOVED us? Why us? God does not need us, but desperately loves us. We desperately need God, but do not always want him. He cannot wait for the day we join him forever. And we wonder how much we need to do for him to get by.
He is an amazing, grace giving, powerful, unfathomable, God who loves us more that everything and everyone put together. I can never understand him, or love him as much as he loves me, so all i can do is pour out my life as one long and loud song of worship for the whole world to hear.
We must also have faith, or we will never see what God has for us through all of the suffering and hurt in the fallen world around us. We can make a difference. I heard a man say once that he asked God "God, why don't you do something about all this suffering in the world?" and God said "I did, i made you". We are Gods hands and feet, and just so long as we do all for his glory, keeping our eyes on him, he can help us reach those around us, and those all around the world, to tell them of his grace. We worship a God that we cannot exaggerate. We have a joy set before us to fight the good fight and we have the strength, in God, to succeed. My dad said once "The world tells us to pull ourselves up by our bootstraps, but the gospel says, you don't have any bootstraps!" God is the only one who can give us the strength to do his will. Opportunities multiply as they are seized. So do whatever God puts in your heart to do, rely on him, and teach others to do the same, and perhaps we'll get a little bit of heaven on earth.
