Tonight at the Drive was an excellent night of learning and fellowship. I wanted to recap some of the points made and expand a little on one:
Tonight it was discussed that God is in us. That He knew us and planned for us before the foundation of the world was set and I pray that you know that not only does He know us but He loves us. It was then discussed that every moment of your life is guided by the hand of God for his purpose and that when He gives you a new heart you will turn toward Him and be saved by his grace. Those sentences are a lot unpack if that is foreign to you and pershaps a topic for another time. What I want to focus on is that no matter who you are Gods hand has been there. Even if you are a mess God has been there.
What wasn't said tonight, but I want to tell you is that if you have been a mess God loves you anyways, but if you know your a mess you need to turn from that and run toward God and He will make you new and clean. Don't let knowing that God loves you stop be justification for you to continue to live your life away from Him. It's one thing to know God its another thing entirely to have faith in Him and trust Him and obey Him. Knowing that God loves you and living your life like you know it is the difference between whether or not you have been given a regenerated heart or not.
Remember Ephesians 2:8-9 says "8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast." This means that salvatoin is a gift and I pray that you take that gift and make the most of it. Don't waste your life. Don't waste your gift. run after Him because He is for you. Run after Him BECAUSE He loves you. Don't let the knowledge stay in your head but guard it in your heart and put it into action. Do not keep separate what you know and what you do.
Keep praying for His presence and remember that He is for you no matter who you are. Let that knowledge make you for Him in all that you are and in all that you do.
