How can I best express this??? Listen- this is CRAZY... I just had this revelation... (or at least the burst of enthusiasm around it)... check this out:
The bible... (Bible? Big B or little b? Does it matter?) - anyway listen- the bible is God SPEAKING to US. The words in there... especially the red letters are GOD speaking TO US. to US. God speaking.... TO us.
WHAT?? You can crack your Bible open and you can SEE with YOUR OWN EYES what GOD has said to US. He came down to earth and got into a human body (imperfect, except it was made by the Creator of all things, so even in its imperfection, it is perfect!, but I digress)... and then God- Jesus- SPOKE. He spoke and He had some of his best buddies write down what he said, and VOILA!! WE - you and me - have GOD'S WORDS on paper. Right there. Riiiiiiiiiiight there.
GOD has given us HIS WORDS- HIS VOICE- HIS MESSAGE --- and look --- He made them all waaaaaaay too easy to get access to (for us in America). We aren't fighting to read them. We aren't forced to die to read them. We just HAVE THEM. We have GOD'S WORDS in a book in front of us (or in our bag, or on our desk, or nightstand, or on our shelf)... PICK THEM UP and LOOK AT THEM!
Think of them as an email... a text message...a handwritten letter... whatever it takes- but realize that this is how God chose to communicate with us. Incidentally, He also gave the Holy Spirit to us as well (to chat on our behalf with God and to tell us what God says). We have all the means we need to hear God and what He thinks about any given situation... how dare I take that for granted?
Wow.
Listen, Carissa. Listen.
