reaching out towards eternity.

church tonight was a wonderful reminder of questions i need to ask and be asked.
like do i talk more about what jesus has done for me than about jesus himself?
because as i grow in the spirit i should see jesus as bigger and myself as smaller.
am i more captivated by what i see in jesus, or by my own experience of seeing it?

this restlessness in me that demands a spiritual refreshment is just a hunger to know him more. and i do that through reading and praying. how will i ever know more about jesus if my bible remains shut?
i should be dissatisfied with the world and current circumstances, but i shouldn't be longing for a spiritual experience that bypasses my own time spent speaking to and listening to jesus.


these things are so true.


and this: God could not have been better to me. ever. in any circumstance. at any time. in any experience. he has always done the best thing. always.


i came on here wanting to write about other things, little things. but perhaps i will save them for tomorrow. these truths carry so much weight, and i want to feel them.
