Don't you hate the days when you don't seem to have any deep revelations? Kinda feels like a skipping record where the ideas and thoughts from yesterday are still in the front of your mind. Though, this is a good thing, I suppose, because yesterday offered no resolution. This shows me that God does like to take his time. I think how we as Christians evolve is a perfect example of that fact. I think that if a resolution did come within a 24 hour period, at least a resolution to what he has been challenging me with, I would be apt to forget it. The longer the issues of love and relevance stay in my head and heart, the more they seem to change me. I think a foundation for change is recognizing my own pride. What I mean is I like to keep the focus on me. I see it in not fully acknowledging his love for me. The second I accept that Jesus does love me, I lose a crutch and become accountable to that love. I can no longer use "well, I just don't feel God" or "Nobody really cares" as an excuse. Once I say that, yes, Jesus loves me, I have declared a fact and a truth. A truth that is not reliant on what I feel. A truth that I must then act on. And I guess that leads to caring about people more than caring about what people think of me.
