Loving God
Sometimes my intellect is completely worthless. This is one of those times. 1 John 4:19 says, “We love because he first loved us.” I understand God loved me first and I am incapable of love apart from him. Yet somehow, I really don’t understand why I love God sometimes. This is not to say he is undeserving of my love. Quite the contrary. I mean only to say that the love inside me for him and the desire to do what he wants is so overwhelming that explaining it is an exercise in futility. I just love God and that’s it. Nothing else seems to matter sometimes.
God has done and is doing something in my heart as I leave for Argentina. I have felt like a zombie at times this week because all I can do is think about this trip and wonder what will happen. I feel like a blank slate. They were outstanding experiences, but my college education and internship in DC don’t seem to matter right now. This is entry to a new phase of life and I cannot wait to see what happens.
