This week has been a busy one, but it's been great overall!
Yesterday was a good day. The end of the school year is coming up so that means the work load is light! I got out of Spanish early and Nathan & I went to Coffee Bean. I brought along the book we're reading together at the moment, Knowing God by J.I. Packer & he did some left over homework for a project. It was overcast yesterday, which I did not enjoy at first, but my hazelnut latte, my comfy leather seat by the window, & my book gave me a better attitude about the unexpected cozy weather.
Anyway, the book is amazing, I highly recommend it! The title says it all; it's simply a book delving into the attributes of God in pursuit of gaining a better understanding of who He is. Packer's writing is marvelous. He was so gifted! & I love how reading a book like this just stirs up more thought about heavenly things & the battle between good & evil that is constantly bombarding our souls day after day.
I was just thinking moments ago about the fact that our love is not strong enough. I don't have a strong enough love for Jesus. I don't have a strong enough love for His children. I don't have a strong enough love for even the ones I feel total love towards because I am human. & my love is flawed.
To go along with all of that as well, my love is not strong enough to save the ones who are lost, the individuals who are hurting & alone. I struggle with that. Especially lately. I am so small. & compared to the love that Christ has for His church & for the lost, my love is just a tiny fragment. I guess what I am trying to say here is how I wish I was strong enough to save those who are wandering & hurting. But it seems that anything I express with words towards them, that comes from my love for those people, doesn't really hit their souls like I want so badly for them too.
I don't know if this makes any sense, but it was just something that I was meditating on this morning. It just brings me back to the fact that the only one who has the greatest love is Jesus Himself. Only He can love the lost in such a way that penetrates a heart & draws it to salvation.
