All You Need Is Love...

Alright. What could we really do if we just loved? Unconditionally I mean. We have no reason to hate anyone. We really don't. At least as Christian's we have no reasons whatsoever. None at all. Why do we do it??? You know. Here in Virginia you're probably bound to see a redneck in a truck that has a bumper sticker saying "I hate Obama!" or "NOBAMA!" or maybe even "Obama Is A JACKASS!" or something dissing the man. You know. What did Barack Obama do to any of us? He does his job as President and does what he see's right. Now I'm not saying I like Obama's policy's and I don't totally agree with everything he does. But c'mon. The dude is just as much of a sinner as I am. He can and should be my brother. POINT PROVEN. Osama Bin Laden is my brother and my friend. The one's you say you hate are your brothers, sisters, fathers, and mothers. Don't hate, appreciate.

He Is Jealous For Me... Part 2.

I started to ponder that line... He Is Jealous For Me. Let me start with this. I am frustrated with so many things right now. One of the big things is why do we reduce everything spiritual and everything not spiritual down to some form of math or science? I hate it. I do it so much myself. God is not math. He isn't something or someone we can just comprehend by writing out an equation. Jesus is not science. End of story. Except not really. Because I can't grasp that fact. Anyways back to the point. I kept hearing this line "He is jealous for me" in my head. What the heck does "jealous" even mean. I looked up the definition, there was only one that I think would remotely describe the jealousy i'm talking about.

Adjective.
~ solicitous or vigilant in maintaining or guarding something: exmp. "The American people are jealous of their freedom."

Dictionary's are extremely handy, don't get me wrong. But a word like this. It's something that was reduced to math and science. Now I bet Mister Webster Dude wasn't super spiritual or anything. But why would a human want to turn something beautiful into math. It doesn't make sense to me.

What i'm trying to get at is this. We are in this world till we die. I believe God is jealous that the world has us and He doesn't at the moment. Thats what it feels like to me. I think when John Mark McMillan wrote that line, that's what he was thinking. I don't even know what i'm getting at. But God knows. Anyways. Last night I was reading my Bible and something significant happened. I was sorta staring at Psalms and thinking "why am I not having a crazy epiphany or explanation to all of this." I literally put my entire head on the pages and thought, "what would happen if I literally shoved the pages into my mouth and ate them", then today as I was thinking about I realized that I don't need to memorize the whole bible. Or fast for weeks one end. What I could do if I realized God loves me? What if I can stop reducing Jesus and His love for me down to math? Jealousy is deeper than a definition.

He is jealous for me...

No matter what. No matter what comes between you and Him, He still loves you. I need to realize this fact just as much as everyone else does. Why can't we just sit and chill with this fact that God Himself loves us more than anything He has ever created? Why is it the human mind, body, and spirit cannot grasp this truth? Why do we sing the songs and not mean it? If I could choose to understand one thing ever in this world it would be how the man Jesus Christ died for me. How he would want to save someone like me. Someone like you. Why would a man who is beyond this world want to die for me? It's unexplainable. Even if I could understand it, I wouldn't be able too. He is jealous for me. He is bigger than our problems. Because He is jealous for you and I means we have nothing to worry about. Try to grasp that as I try...
