I feel so much more alive this semester than in any of my other semesters at WSU. Last Spring (2011) I began asking God to increase the desire in my heart for His Word. And He did! But when it happened it was more beautiful than I could have imagined.
It is hard to process with God and not carry presuppositions (our previous experiences and understanding) into our conversation. So as I was praying that I would have an increased desire for the Bible, I was limiting in my mind the ways God was going to answer that prayer.
God fulfilled my request by gently sweeping aside all those expectations and well He showed me more of Jesus. Truly I say to you that when I began to fall even more in love with Jesus, it was like “gi’me some more of the Bible.”
Jesus is so beautiful. Seriously. I dare you to get to know Jesus and not fall in love with Him. Since this summer Colossians 3:3 has been in and out of my thoughts a lot. “For you have died and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.”
So that if I am going to find my life I need to be looking to Jesus.
Well God is good, eternally good. Somebody say AMEN.
