Across the Universe

As I sit here and write this there are tears in my eyes. I’m not not one to cry, it usually only happens a handful of times a year, but the past few days have been crazy. I’m so overwhelmed right now, but not in a bad way. I’m overwhelmed with God’s love for me. I don’t understand how He can love me this much, how He can care so much about the little details in my life. Everything from the basic necessities of life to friendships that touch my inmost being, He has taken care of it all in the most amazing ways.

I wanted/needed to find a job (I’m currently a student), there were a few different reasons why but I just knew that it was what I should do. So I prayed that God would provide me with an opportunity, a job where I could be a light to those around me. A few days later one of my teachers sends me an email saying that the Kimberley Ski hill was looking for someone in the Accounting office. I wrote up a resume (I’ve never done a “professional” resume before) and sent it off with a cover letter. I prayed and prayed that I would only get the job if it were His will; I know that He’ll take care of me either way. Not even a week later I received an email requesting an interview. It was the worst interview of my life, I mean I completely froze. I couldn’t even give a good answer as to what my schooling was about (Sustainable Business Operations). But you know what, I still got the job. I got a job that I totally don’t deserve in a place that I love everything about, every single detail was taken care of.

I just use this story as an example and it’s just one of many that show God’s goodness and grace. When people would say, “I don’t understand how God can love me this much” I’d always agree and say, “that’s cool” but I never really felt that from the bottom of my heart. But now I know, I can say without a doubt that the Creator of the universe is crazy about me. I know that most of you read this and think it’s bogus, that I’m full of crap and I’ve been brainwashed by religion. I know that religion can brainwash people but that’s not what’s going on. I’m not where I am because I followed some rules and went to church, it’s because I have a relationship with God.

Across the Universe by Brandon Peters

I know that if you think it’s all a bunch of hocus pocus that nothing I can say will change your mind. But I beg of you, please at least think about it. If Christianity, if the Bible is all wrong it’s of zero importance, it’s worthless. But if it’s true, nothing else should matter. If it’s true that we are only here for our lifetime and then we spend an eternity somewhere else you can’t take that risk. Do you understand that? Are you willing to bet against God so much that you’ll spend forever in Hell if He is real?

I’ve come to the place where I know without a shadow of a doubt that it’s true. It wasn’t easy to get here, sometimes God shakes the pillars that hold the foundations of our lives in order to get our attention, but He does it because He loves and He wants to have a relationship with you. Anyways, thanks for taking the time to read this, I know that everyone has busy lives. If there is any way I can pray for you, I don’t care what you believe, I’d love to have that opportunity. Fire me a message and I’d be more than happy to talk about anything.

“Let not the wise man boast of his wisdom or the strong man boast of his strength or the rich man boast of his riches, but let him who boasts boast about this: that he understand and knows me, that I am the Lord, who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight.” Jeremiah 9:23-24
