Contemplation

I believe it was a wise choice to start writing down my thoughts again.

After much thought today I think the most profound thing I could ever learn from the Bible is that to love God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength is to obey every single command in the entire Bible. I'm going to leave it very simple with that statement. Sometimes I tend to over analyze things and try and be eloquent with my words but sometimes simplicity is where it is at.

Loving God is the solution to all of life's problems. I love that statement. If I could just simply love God with all my being than all of my problems would become bearable. They wouldn't crush me, strangle me or beat me into the ground. They wouldn't weigh upon my back for countless years and the guilt from past mistakes would not rule me. Can you possibly see where I might have joy? Loving God somehow miraculously gives me comfort, peace, hope, joy, encouragement amongst other things. When I have those is any mountain too high to climb? (And in that I mean that as a metaphor). I believe that's what it means when people say "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me". Not this nonsense about how God might give you the power to move a car up the side of a hill because it broke down, or that He'll give you power to run a thousand miles so that you can win a million dollars for getting first place. I hear the phrase used a lot but I think it is misused. Hmm, tangent.

Back on track. Or maybe not. I seem to have lost my train of thought with that detour. Oh well. I am content that I was able to write what I did. My bike ride home was rather nice. Lots of time to meditate on what I have learned today. Bedtime soon approaches. My birthday approaches! Perhaps that will be a good time to reflect on my life and how I came to be where I am today.

Holy Holy Holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come. With all creation I sing praise to the King of Kings. You are my everything and I will adore You.
