FUEL

Ok, so at my church we have this thing called FUEL; it is supposed to "fuel" up your spiritual life, and if your are empty you are filled. So I was participating in the drama/skit/dance, it was amazing. LIFEHOUSE-Everything Skit. You can Godtube it, or something like that... I'll try to post the link or video (my version) later when I get it myself. But the man playing Jesus was my friend's dad, and my friend was the girl. And with them actually being father-daughter it made the skit so much more believable, the other versions I have seen you can tell its just 2 people playing a role, but here it was... real because it was really his little girl who he saw grow up and now she was "leaving him" and you could tell they had that relationship. The whole skit was so real, there are things in the skit that people I know have struggled with and it just makes it that much more real. The girl had gotten into these different sins, when just 30 secs before she was so in love with her daddy, then her daddy comes to save her from this sin and he saves her from it, and embraces her. It was powerful. And it made me realize, this is me. I may not have personally struggled with everyone of those sins just as she did in such a quick amount of time, but I have struggled with some. Sometimes thinking about going against what you know is right just because you know you aren't supposed to, or when your life doesn't exactly revolve around you when you want it to, you may think "Would people care when Im gone? Why should they, cuz they sure dont notice me now?" But WE HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT WE ARE HIS CHILDREN AND HE IS OUR LOVING AND POWERFUL DADDY!!!

I have a friend whose dad is 500x more ripped than anyone I know, and even though people may fear him because of his strength, he spoils her rotten, why because she's his little girl who he WOULD DIE FOR. No, Im not saying that God spoils us rotten, but in a way he does... think about it, we sin against heaven and Him all the time-sometimes we dont even ask for forgiveness!- but He still loves us, wants us as His children, longs for us, comforts us when we need it, comfort us when we DONT need it, and blesses us beyond our imagination. PLEASE DONT FORGET THE BIGGEST ONE OF ALL!!! HE DIED FOR US, HE SENT HIS SON TO DIE FOR US AND HE STILL LIVES!!! if thats not the best i dont know what is.

WHY???
well that is a fantastic question. I could try to answer it to the best of my ability, but I think for the best answer you will ever get will be from the camel's mouth... (God's mouth I mean, not an actual camel).
