Hey guys, sorry for not blogging more often but I think I lost sight of what this blog was really about. I began this blog as a form of expression for me to reveal my thoughts and my feelings- basically your guide to Eric’s world. Unfortunately, I’ve lost sight of that and got so caught up in the spiritual pride and wanting this blog to be a form of preaching but I realize that I don’t want it to be like that. I’m just one of you guys and through this blog, I want to express my thoughts, my opinions, and my feelings and you guys to take it as you like. I’ll leave the preaching for the pastors.
Right now, I’m in a place in my walk where I’m getting to know who the real God is and deviating from who I thought “God” was. As I was sitting in my room, I had just got off the phone with my bible study teacher and he got me thinking. God has given me purpose in my life and called me to be someone, which in itself is powerful to me because all my life, I’ve dreamt of doing big things. But for a God who is first of all, a GOD and secondly, a God who has already scarified so much for me through his son’s crucifixion alone, he must really love me because he knew me enough to provide me with the things that make me happy. And beyond that, he’s promising to take care of all my needs, of all my insecurities, and of all my in capabilities, if I love him. At first glance, that’s not that much, but when I break it down and think about it, it’s unreal. First of all, me loving him only happens because he loves me, so basically without him none of this possible and he could easily just put me down in a pit and I wouldn’t be able to complain because he gave me life. Secondly, me loving him means I love him, which means I’d enjoy talking to him, I’d enjoy serving him, and I’d enjoy being with him. In conclusion, God is going to take care of everything, if I love him, which means it wouldn’t be a burden but an enjoyment. Can that be? Is that possible? Honestly, I know as a “Christian” I should be hollering and screaming “AMEN! “but when I break it down, I have doubts that something that great could actually exist. What do you think?
Love All,
GhanDEEP

mm...if its not true we've wasted our lives, if its not true then truly everything is hopeless. Who could imagine such a thing? God hated us for sinning, showing that we did deserve absolutely the fiery wrath of God, but even then before creation, He loved us to the point where He sent His Son who willingly took and drank God's wrath so that we may live. As a criminal sentenced to execution, a man with no blame took our place. Praise God, salvation has arrived. Do I believe in this love that God gives freely and unconditionally? Yes, I believe it with all my heart, mind, strength, and soul. Without Him everything is in vain, everything is useless, everything is worth nothing. But God has a purpose for everything and its His love that drives me to Him because I feel that He is truly my greatest joy and that He has forgiven me of my sins so that I may live.
