Looking for Clarity

A million things running through my head.

It’s weird how getting clarity about something makes me feel differently toward it.

Yet again, I’m unsure of so many things.

Do what You will in me.
Do what You will in me.
Do what You will in me.

God’s Friend

There are a lot of worship songs out there that sing about God being our friend, about how good He is to us when we are completely undeserving. God is the perfect friend.

As I was thinking about this, I wondered what it might be like if WE were friends TO God. Friendship is certainly a two way street. ANd it never works out when a person is always giving, giving, giving and the other person is only receiving, receiving, receiving.

Sure, God is the ultimate friend, who will love us even when we don’t love Him back.

BUT.

What would happen if we reciprocated His love? I think how we lived our lives would completely change. And we would know so much more about Him and how to worship Him.

I guess I do a lot of thinking when I’m walking to campus, since there’s much more walking than last year. I passed by this car with a USC sticker on its windshield, and I don’t know why, but it struck me that I go to USC.

I know, I know. Duh. We know you go there.

But back in high school, even though I wanted to come here so bad, it was unthinkable. There was no way we could afford it, and I had pretty much decided that I was just going to University of Maryland, College Park.

I think back to all the things that have lead to this point, or at least, however many I can remember. And I know it’s lame, but I tear up a little.

To think that where we are is not by chance. But actually a series of events so set in motion by something much greater. God does indeed love me. That he crafted such a distinct destiny for me that I am only beginning to explore.

Thank you for this day, God. And every single day that you have made for a purpose I cannot see right now. Help me to live by your greater calling and to not get so bogged down by just what I want. Because your way is perfect.
