Simplicity

God loves you :)   Sabrina. 18. UVA '16

But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ—the righteousness that comes from God on the basis of faith. I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead.
Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
--Philippians 3:7-14

    I’m at peace because…
    • I know I’m meant for more than this
    • I know that this is not my home
    • I know that there is a hope far beyond what I can perceive
    • I know there is a God.. a Holy and Majestic being who loves me beyond my own capabilities
    • I know that unconditional love exists
    This week, as I was watching HIMYM Marshall quoted these verses… and it suddenly hit me that these verses are not only talking about the object or act of love…

    Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

    It’s talking about God. These verses reflect his character.

    God IS Love.

    I keep longing and searching to be loved by this world… But it keeps leaving me empty and broken-hearted.

    God give me the strength to seek you each and everyday.

    God give me the courage to say no to the things of this world.

    Why put your all in something that will not give anything in return?

    Why put all your hope in something that is hopeless?

    Why put all your trust in something that is untrustworthy?

    Why put all your faith in something that is not faithful?

    Luke 7:36-50

    When one of the Pharisees invited Jesus to have dinner with him, he went to the Pharisee’s house and reclined at the table. A woman in that town who lived a sinful life learned that Jesus was eating at the Pharisee’s house, so she came there with an alabaster jar of perfume. As she stood behind him at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears. Then she wiped them with her hair, kissed them and poured perfume on them.

    When the Pharisee who had invited him saw this, he said to himself, “If this man were a prophet, he would know who is touching him and what kind of woman she is—that she is a sinner.”

    Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to tell you.”

    “Tell me, teacher,” he said. 

    “Two people owed money to a certain moneylender. One owed him five hundred denarii, and the other fifty. Neither of them had the money to pay him back, so he forgave the debts of both. Now which of them will love him more?”

    Simon replied, “I suppose the one who had the bigger debt forgiven.”

    “You have judged correctly,” Jesus said.

    Then he turned toward the woman and said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I came into your house. You did not give me any water for my feet, but she wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. You did not give me a kiss, but this woman, from the time I entered, has not stopped kissing my feet. You did not put oil on my head, but she has poured perfume on my feet. Therefore, I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven—as her great love has shown. But whoever has been forgiven little loves little.”

    Then Jesus said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”

    The other guests began to say among themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”

    Jesus said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.”

    Forgetfulness

    Sometimes I forget that it’s good that certain people are out of my life.

    Sometimes I forget that God always does everything with a purpose.

    Sometimes I forget that God lets me make mistakes.

    Sometimes I forget that I can live without regrets anymore.

    Sometimes I forget that I’m not the same person I was a month ago.
