I didn't really know what to call this post, really I want to ask a question and give a challenge. Do you really value God's Word? We've been talking about this a lot lately in Bible class, in Chapel, and during Wednesday night church.

Pastor Carnes used the example of a love letter, when or if you were to receive a love letter or just a note from someone that you liked/loved/admired, you wouldn't be able to wait a day or even a few minutes before opening it. You wouldn't just look at it and say"I'll get to that later", you would almost tear it trying to open it...So why aren't we like that?(why am I not like that?) Why is it that we don't have that kind of passion for God and His Son who died and took hell for us? We would spare ourselves a lot of heart ache if we just took a few minutes to look in God's Word. Many times we say to ourselves "no one cares", "I don't know what to do", "I can't stand it". Well God sent us His Words!!!! He has told us what we need to do, He has told us that He cares. It gives me chills... Another example that Pastor Carnes used was a flashlight. If you or I were lost in the woods late at night, and yet you had the comfort of having a flashlight. You wouldn't pass that up and say"I can find my way on my own in the pitch black". We would use the flashlight so we could find our way.(obviously) So why don't we use the light of God's Word to help us when we're in the dark spiritually?

Well anyway, like I said, you all wanted me to post, so I posted something that God had been challenging me with.:) I hope you feel challenged, it's proably nothing you haven't heard before but it's nice to be reminded.
God bless,
dani
