rad thought...

My rad thought or thing that i am kind of learning about
God the past month or so that i think is cool is just that
God's relationship with his children is sooo personal. I
know you hear about it all the time..."have a personal
relationship with Jesus" etc. etc....well i have been
coming to a better understanding of that simple
statement...God's relationship with me and with you is just
that, it is 'personal.' This is important for me to
realize when i catch myself in an act of judgement where i
question someone else's actions...i am constantly being
reminded that my convictions might now always be the same
as the next persons. God has us all in different places.
Now, that is not to say i or you cannot speak truth to a
brother or sister about some issue..but one should not come
to that point unless it is through some prayer and just
being very sure of God's place for you in that. Anyhow, it
seems there are a ton of things with this that have come up
for me in the past month or so...there is no way i could go
into it all...so i just encourage any of you who read this
to just meditate on that sometime...that your relationship
with God is soo personal and intimate, it is between you
and Him...and just how special is that!!? I have been
realizing and learning more and more of what a RAD thing
that is. Romans 12:2 says "Do not be conformed to this
world, but be transformed by they renewing of your
minds..." (allow God to transform YOU 'personally!') "...so
that YOU may discern what is the will of God.."
(again..what is God's will in YOUR
life 'personally'?) "...what is good and acceptable and
perfect." Good stuff, may your relationship with our
Father be so personal and intimate that you feel His
presence daily in your life and may your actions reflect
that. If you do not know God, this living God, this holy
God that i proclaim...may you seek Him and may you be found
in the abundant love he has for each of us..may you realize
the grace he has poured out...you are all in my thoughts
and prayers...peacefully..
