Wind in the Sprinklers

One night in Azusa, CA the Santa Ana winds were blowing outside my friend's house. It was so loud and powerful. I loved it. We both went outside and was immediately blown backward by the winds. It seemed to blow off all your troubles too. Before we left we took a walk around the block. From where my friend lives in Azusa you can see such a georgeous overview of the valley below Mt. Wilson. So many lights sparkle across the land as we turned the corner. I loved feeling my hair blow against the wind. I tried to soak up every moment, but this is not the point. As we were driving off to drop me at home I noticed some sprinklers turn on. This is quite common, but it was so beautiful because the wind took the water spouting out from the sprinklers and pushed it up and over this way and that. The water seemed to be dancing in the air and unfortunately not completely landing on the plants it was supposed to water. It was so beautiful though. We all made a nice comment about the pretty dancing water, but what got to me was that it made me think about how God takes man made things and still uses them for his beauty. That even though it was made by humans God can still do something with it because it's his earth. We live surrounded by his creations, his works of art. You and I are his works of art that he created and through his power we can always run to him no matter what we've done.

Like a Father

The best metaphor when someone is trying to understand God's love for them. God is like a father. So you've heard that God loves you right? Well He does, but that can be so hard to understand! Just know that God loves you like He was your father. Perhaps, though your father is not the best example of being loving. Well see it like this: God is a father like figure, a mentor, that loves you and gives you a warm feeling in your heart when you know that He does love you. He guides you like a mentor and sits you down to tell you the truth, but you have to listen to that voice in your head that is guiding you in the right way. That can be tricky to pick out among the many voices that tell us to do so many things. Basically, His guidance can always be referenced back to the Bible. If you think you hear God say something, check if it sounds like something He would say in the Bible. As for those that do have a good example of a father, God loves you even more than your father here on earth. Dads are great, but they are human too and it's nice to remember that we have a heavenly father to always love us, and isn't that crazy. He has unconditional love for us that we don't have to earn. Thank you God for loving us teven though we fall. Remember that great dads are guided by our heavenly father too, thats what makes them great!

Thanks for reading!

Yaweh Loves You a Great Deal More Than You May Know.

Hello! Today I am going to talk about something that has recently been revealed to me about God. First off, his name. His name is Yaweh. I wont go too much into that because I have not studied it further, but its just that fact that if we want to have a close relationship with God, we sould know his names, for has many. Second thing I want to talk about, is the main reason I posted today. God loved me so much that He couldn't stand living with out me. He just had to create me. He just had to create you. Like an author with his characters, each one plays a key role, and the author ends up loving all of them, before they were even made. He want to spend time in Heaven with all of his children that loved Him. That's why God is sifting through and testing His people, He wants to end up in Heaven with the children that love Him. Why wouldn't a parent want that? I say parent because I see Him as a loving father. So if we saw Him as a parent we could ask ourselves, wouldn't a parent love all their kids? Well He loves each and every person, but they may not all love him back. In Heaven, He wants to get to know and live with all His children that love Him back, and personally, I'd love to be one of those kids. So my point for you to take away today is that God loves you so much, He couldn't stand having a life without you. He wants to hang out with you in his kingdom forever getting to know you and all your brohters and sisters in Christ. Do you love Him too? Do you take time to figure out who this awesome God is that loves you? I pray you do. I pray in His awesome name that everyone who reads this is blessed and knows that He loves you, even if you may not even fully understand what that means yet, at least you that someone out there cares about you and your purpose. I pray this in the name of Jesus Christ, and Yaweh, Amen. Have a great day, He gave it to you to enjoy!

Find Him in the Sunset

 

Recently I have been taking many photos of the Sunset and every time I see them I think of God. How amazing it is that he created the sky to make it look the way it is. In Photography, photographers use the term "magic hour" for sunsets and sunrises. It truly is a beautiful sight to see. It looks as if God painted the sky. Some days it really does look like the sky was painted. No matter, it was created and it is very beautiful. When I look at the Lords's beautiful work of art from sunsets to our human hearts I am reminded of how awesome He truly is. 

Entry 1

Hello! This is a blog where I write about my experiences, wonders and findings about how marvelous and great God is. I truely hope you enjoy hearing about them. I have not been through too much in my life, but I am 17 and like to believe that the work He has already done in my life is a good enough testimony to share. The main purpose of this blog is to share to and inspire others, so I hope this inspires you or gives you hope in any way shape or form. I like to think that I have a good relationship with God, but I wanted to learn more about Him, so I thought I would investigate Him. Figure Him out. I already know He is amazing, I just need to remind myself of this everyday and in the little things. If you have ever felt the same way, then you have come to the right place.

Blessings
