The Source

Bonjour Bonjour!

How’s it going?? Well, I’m pretty new to this whole blogging thing, so you will have to bear with me for a while. Haha

So, in math class the other day, I was just writing down some thoughts, and I thought I would elaborate here

There is no love greater than the love God offers us. There are people that strive to reach this goal, this level of happiness that they believe that they could achieve in material possessions, or success, or relationships. They think “If I could just get this car, or this much more money, or these people to accept me, THEN my life would be satisfying.” I used to think like this too! The truth is, even though they may actually accomplish these things, they won’t settle. They’ll discover that those things weren’t actually satisfying, keep setting higher goals, yet never actually find what they were looking for.

Hmm, could it be possible that they are really looking for His love? That they know it’s out there, they’re just looking in the wrong places? Since God is the giver of every good thing, could they be looking at these things as a substitute without going to the Source, the one who designed these things in the first place? He’s the source of all life, all hope!! Let’s let our lives point to Him so they can discover the love that we have found!

Because, people are like lamps. (Haha, I apologize for the corny analogy!)

Lamps need to be plugged in to a power source, right? Without electricity, the lamp may as well be broken. It’s useless. But when you plug it in, it becomes vibrant with light, and useful in every way!

In the same way, when we plug into God, submit to His will, and let His electricity flow through us, we become this vessel that shines brightly for Him. His joy floods in and He uses us for His purposes! What a crazy, awesome, amazing privilege! He chooses US! And all we have to do is say yes! As Romans 12:1b says, “Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him.”

Saying yes to God radically transformed my life! Wherever you are today, make the choice to surrender and trust wherever God brings you. :) He promises He won’t let you down!

~Romans 10:11 (ncv)

As the Scripture says, “Anyone who trusts in him will never be disappointed.”
