Life is good.
I'm just so happy!
I think I'm learning a lot about true love. I don't think it feels like you would expect it to feel. Sometimes it is just doing what you know is right. Sometimes it has emotion. Sometimes it doesn't. I think the more powerful times are when it doesn't, because you are choosing Jesus. I may not feel like helping out my buddy from Sudan, or feel "called" to make it my life goal, but can I turn away if his tribe is dying?
I'm considering spending 6 months working at a leper colony in Calcutta. If that falls through, or if the Lord leads otherwise, perhaps working at an orphanage somewhere, but something about hanging out with lepers really appeals to me.
Shane Claiborne has been teaching me a lot. Look him up sometime on YouTube and I hope you will see my heart. I see myself in this, my contemporary. He is a man who has sought and found the purest of Christian lives. He has spent his life living with Mother Theresa, and with churches and on the streets here in America.
The greatest miracle in the world is Jesus. His love. His miracles are icing on the cake, but people go hungry again. Lazarus died again. And some who were healed didn't worship him. But touching a lepers heart will last for eternity.
I love Jesus. I love him like a brother. Like a mentor. Like I've never loved anyone else in my life. Do you know Him? Would you like to? To hear the man who touched and healed lepers tell you he loves you is the greatest gift in all of life. I don't know who reads these posts- sometimes I'm very surprised who God leads here- but I know you are reading this for a purpose. God is great! Give your life to Him and you will NEVER be the same (changed to shine like the sun by looking at His beautiful face!)
God bless you! Read Shane Claiborne's book- Irresistible Revolution!
