i looked over during service last Sunday and saw that the precious girl next to me had drawn this. i love the visual of the envelope. we ARE "sealed in Christ." but this is a special kind of seal...it can never be broken by our mistakes. God blows my mind. i feel like a piece of crap that doesn't deserve anything as wonderful as what God has given me. but it doesn't matter that i'm not perfect or anywhere close. my Father still loves me more than i can ever grasp and words can't describe how INCREDIBLE that is. WOW!!!
Wow.
ReplyDeleteI guess I owe you a confession, since to be honest I've been following your blog for a while. We never really talked all that much back in high school but I thought you seemed like a genuinely nice person. Guess that's why I'm not sending this over facebook because I don't know how comfortable you'd be with me coming out of the blue with this.
I went through some dark times a few months ago when starting college in isolation, and it's safe to say my faith was tested even as I prayed and read through my Bible. I was a really down on my luck guy I guess. But your faith in God and your strength really inspired me, and I feel much closer to God now than ever before. You really are a bright line in a world getting darker, and I can only pray that doesn't change. I hope to run in to you again sometime. Thank you so much for being a wonderful person.
