i find i get more bloggable thoughts/ideas when it's later in the night...anyways...
"...He loves us not because of who we are, but because of Who He is."
Go ahead, read it again! It really struck me when i heard those words of a newsboys song (i think). And all this time i thought WE might have had a little part in his reason for loving us!...i mean, sure, he created us and all...but no, that's not the reason he loves us. it's because of who HE is: all in all magnificent, powerful, tender love incarnate!! <--(is that the right word? hmm) and leading back to alfred's message today...if we could only catch a GLIMPSE of who HE really is we'd be satisfied forever! changed, renewed, awed...
and "maybe what we need is not for God to CHANGE our circumstances, but simply to catch a glimpse of him...and change US!!"
BE A MOON!! that's right....be a Moon!! we're not meant to be stars, not meant to be the ones shining the radiant light of love, we're only meant to REFLECT the SON's light!!! (haha, sun/son, how perfect. i wonder some times if God planned the words to be like that so it'd be understandable at our human level of intelligence) psh, what, beacons?? "make me a MOON!!!!"
i saw this on a billboard thing outside a church:
TO PREVENT BURNING, EXPOSE YOURSELF TO THE SON.
