I love Jesus

So, as I said in my last blog, I've just been having a lot of things weighing on me and it was becoming a struggle to let them go. I finally talked to my roommate about it and it was really helpful. I've also continued having a chat with Jesus and it's just been wonderful. Just know that prayers are being answered and I for sure love it.

Last night, we once again had connection group, and my goodness, we had questions flying everywhere and so many amazing things were said. Lot's of truth up in there. In case you want to know what we are studying, we're going through the book of Romans and last night was chapter 3! So, basically, from my understanding, God gave us the law because he knew we would be imperfect, and he knew that we would fail to hit his standard. He made us NEED him in order to be saved because obviously, we couldn't do it ourselves. All along, it was about having faith in God and trusting in him completely that we would be saved. This is why David was saved, and all the other people in the Old Testament. Yes, we must still follow the law, but if we have our hearts fully invested in Jesus, then following the law will just become part of our life. We will be walking in Jesus' footsteps, and he did NOT sin! Yes, we will stumble, but Jesus is right there to pick us back up which is so amazing.

I just love that Jesus fully forgives us for all of our past sins, no matter what we've done. I knew this, but man, it's always just so good to hear and to learn again. I am pure in God's eyes because of what Jesus did for me. What he did for US!

Also, another topic that came up was marriage. Of course us girls want to get married! But it was a topic of how the love between a man and a woman of God who join together, is completely selfless and pure. It's a beautiful joining of two people in love with each other, and in love with God. It just made me reflect back on a previous relationship, and helped me come to terms with it better. I know that there is better for me, and there is someone special if it is in God's will! So right now, we all need to remain pure to our future husbands and wives, because even if we do something now with someone else, that is disrespectful to whoever we will marry in the future, and also to the other person's future spouse. Right now, until it is in God's will for us to meet that certain someone and marry them, we need to be growing in our love and our faith. It's difficult, I realize this, but it is so worth it.

Well, who wants a recipe? Too bad, I can't think of one right now...haha

If you would, could you just pray that God will continue working on my brother's heart and showing him truth? It's still something I constantly pray about and so the more the better!

Ciao!
