Well the first day of the week and I am so tired! It was a long day! Today I have three classes so it is my longest day of the week but it feels good to get it over with. I am learning so much but in learning so much I am learning I know NOTHING about what i thought I knew alot about. I don't know if that made any sense but God has humbled me beyond measure in the last week.
I realize that I will never reach a level of rest and satisfaction in my knowledge of God because there is so much to know that no one human could possibly know it all. Even all humans put together could never come close to understanding the complex mind of our wonderful Savior. It is a troubling conclusion as well as a relief! I can do nothing to make God love me more. His love for me is unconditional and it is perfect, I can never lose this and I can never gain more. It puts the whole perspective of salvation through works to test. If the scripture says that God's love for us is perfect and that his love for us is unconditional then nothing I do will change this. By saying I can earn his love I am questioning God's power. I don't deserve anything, I can't earn anything, there is no checklist that I can follow to get a ticket into heaven. No it is by the grace of my Lord and the mercy of his hand that I can be saved by faith and faith alone. What God has given us to study clearly states, "for it is by grace we have been saved through faith" what a magnificent thought. I don't have to try to be perfect because I would fall short everytime but through the blood of the lamb I am made perfect in Christ. I still can't wrap my mind around that amazing truth!! God is so good!! I am nothing apart from his power. This was just on my mind after class today.
Well poor little Benga has a Vet appointment tomorrow morning :( He is limping so bad and it has been going on for a while. I hope everything is ok. He is making me so sad because we can't play ball with him or take him for walks and well, we all know Labs need to get their energy out.
That is all for now! I hope everyone is have a wonderful night! Love you all!!
