Let's Talk About Love...

I have decided that since my journey through the bible is going so well...that tonight I would take a small break before finishing Genesis and talk about other things that have been on my mind.

Today I was talking with friends about Revelations. They were telling about how everything the bible says is going to happen is happening right now. I kept trying to pull the conversation away and make the talk more positive. My friend was extremely interested in the Book Of Revelations (this is not a bad thing) and wanted to talk on it further. He talked about the Antichrist, Jesus coming back, the mark of the beast, all things I had heard about before. It wasn't until discussing it with other people, that I realized how people today really are convinced that the end is just around the corner.

This is how I feel...(not saying I'm right)

The world is still an extremely beautiful place. The U.S. government is having extreme difficulties getting organized and solving problems but I do think as a nation we will pull trough. I believe that because things have gotten to a "scary" point in America today that people are associating the results of a "less than well" economy, with those events that are said to be taking place in the Bible. Even though there are people nowadays that cant be trusted, and there are places where love is short lived and little. The world is still great! :) and God loves it (us).

I firmly believe that we (we meaning Mankind...not we as in Americans) have so much more to discover and learn about life and the world right now. The United States may not be in the best of shape right now. But in some parts of the world. Things are hunky dory!!! :) Just because a nation is having Leadership and Government difficulties, that does not mean the end is near.

If the end is near...

I think that's all the more reason to be positive and spread the word of God by love...not fear, because after all, God is Love.

On another note....

Ive noticed some amazing things while reading Genesis. Ive noticed even more, everything that Jesus did! Even though Jesus was not even around during the time of Genesis. When reading Genesis...it never once says anything about people praising God, or worshiping God. I believe that in the Beginning....the word of God was spread mostly by fear. After all there was no Bible, all people had to go on was that he had kicked his children out of Eden, and then killed all people with a huge flood. Why wouldn't you be scared? I think that is why he picked people like Abraham, Jacob, and Joseph to bless. He knew that they were capable of spreading the word. He knew that if he put his will in their hands, all would be good.

This made me notice how big of a job Jesus had. He told the whole world they were loved by God, because I don't think many knew it. Not saying that people did not love God, but I do think that most people (until Jesus) had no idea just how strong Gods love for us is. It is almost a foreshadowing of what is to happen in the New Testament.

Sorry If i threw anyone off...tomorrows post will cover the rest of Genesis.

I cant even begin to express how my life is improving right now. Never have I been so happy :)

God Loves Me
