Because of His Love

—
The past few weeks have been filled with lack of purpose and loneliness.

Not the best weeks of my life, although they should have been some really good ones.

God blessed me constantly this past month with more than I could have asked for.

I moved in with 3 of my best friends, got a job I have dreamt about, and got accepted to the college I’ve wanted to go to.

Yet, I felt a hole, a sorrow, that clouded these blessings.

I focused to much on myself and my needs.

It doesn’t matter what I need, It only matters that I glorify my Savior, who died so that I might live for and with Him.

Christ saved my life from a life of sin and eternal separation from Him.

So why do I constantly turn to sin instead of the One that loves me?

Christ, help me to love You and to trust in You.
You are All that I need.
I am not alone in this fight.
You are my Joy.

He never ceases to love us.

He is always waiting patiently for our return to Him.

He has His arms open wide to comfort us and to heal us.

Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me. Revelation 3:20

A few weeks ago I had the privilege of helping film a few baptisms for Buckhead Church.

It was really cool to be a part of the process and to hear so many stories of life change for Jesus Christ.

The sunday that most of them were to be baptized came and I got to see Christ’s Love and Joy in so many faces.

What a blessing that was for me and for the people at Buckhead Church.

What was even cooler was a few days later (today) when I stumbled upon a comment, on a blog I read (ChurchDrop), written by Jason Davenport.

Jason was one of the people that were baptized that sunday along with his wife.

His comment sent me to his blog where I read a post he wrote telling about his baptism and what it meant to him.

His perspective on the event was incredible and it creates such a joy in me knowing how Christ has changed him.

Jason, you are a great illustration of Christ’s Love and Joy.

Thank you for your willingness to trust in Him.

This is why I love working for the Church.

For that sunday I got to be a Door-holder for the presence of God.

What a privilege.

One thing I have been learning over the past few weeks is the need for consistency.

Consistency in my spiritual life and in my relationship with my Savior.

I have abused the gift that I was given of a relationship with Jesus Christ.

I have used His grace, mercy, and love for my own success so many times.

I am learning to love Him and seek His plan on a regular basis.

So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do,
do it all for the glory of God.
1 Corinthians 10:31 (NIV)

Through daily surrender I find that He never leaves me and is always waiting for my return.

How blessed am I to have a God who loves me even when I am so unworthy?

So here goes. I’m going to try to be more consistent in my relationship with Christ.

Along with that, I’m going to seriously try to keep up with my blogging schedule…

Thanks for reading. I’ll try to post more often.

The three weeks of Superwow on Jekyll Island were amazing.

The Lord worked among the hearts of the students along with the staff.

His Glory was revealed to students through worship, missions, and teachings.

Despite small flaws in the production, God led students in an experience with Himself.

Every year, God reveals Himself to His children in new and amazing ways.

This year at Superwow, God showed His glory through the calm, the human failures, and the humbled.

I had the amazing opportunity to work 3 weeks out of my summer with some excellent people serving God and the students that attended.

I made some incredible friendships and strengthened my relationship with my Savior.

It was worth it.

He is worth every second of it.

So here’s to another great year of Superwow Camp.

I know God has some Big plans for the rest of my summer and I can’t wait to see them.
