Nothing I Will Ever Do

Whew! Had a very busy week. Sorry to drop off the face of the earth for a few days. I've got a few minutes of downtime, so I thought I'd jot down a thought or two.

This past weekend I went on a girlfriends trip with some of the lovely ladies from church (see Kathy's blog for graphics). We had a lot of fun, did quite a bit of shopping in a very short amount of time, and stayed up late talking. It is always good to get away.

We also went to a women's function at the Second Baptist Church of Conway. They had brought in a speaker/singer named Kim Bolten. I had never heard of her, but she gave a lot of good insight. To me she was very tame, as I am completely spoiled to our loud and lively worship at home. Lisa and I got tickled at the ladies of Second Baptist. You could tell that was probably the most rambunctious worship music they had ever experienced. Funny how diverse we Christians are.

She said many things that touched and convicted me, but as always, there was one thing that really got me. She said, "Nothing you will ever do will make God love you more, but nothing you will ever do will make God love you less." I know, it's a very simple concept. But I don't think I knew that. I think I have been under the illusion that if I made all the right moves, was a servant, and faithfull, that God would love me more than He does right now. The other side of that is that if I screwed up too bad, He might not love me as much. Not that He would stop loving me altogether, just less.

But that's just not true, is it? How could God ever love us any more or any less when GOD IS LOVE ? And the love He has for us is perfect.

That's it, gotta run!
