I used see love, hope, adventure, and life as a narrow road, but it’s so much more. I remember finding this understanding in my relationship with God. Some my not understand this, and that’s okay because i'm not here to tell someone else's story; but my story. My story begins in a cold church auditorium where I prayed a simple prayer, and felt an unimaginary peace feel my body. Before this I was a simple kid the one who, did what looked intriguing, felt like a half empty glass, and unloved.
Love is defined as an intense feeling of love and affection. That may be the book definition, and something the world strives for, but isn’t accurate we live in a world the restricts love to boundaries. I was restricted to these boundaries I believed to be loved I had to be perfect, blameless, flawless, but i'm human. I wish I would've found the unconditional love of God. The love that doesn’t fade because I do so many impulsive decisions; and based on the love scale of our world I would not be loved I would be the unwanted baby a parent drops off at the fire station. But since I have a father in God, I know that his love will never wither or dry out like a rose. I see love as not …show more content…
Life is more than that it’s full of love, sorrow, adventure, but it ends pretty great if you live every moment like it’s the last. I thought this idea was just for the kids who did drugs, but I found this in God. I have been given this life not to settle but, to strive. I must live a life that is full of hope , not fear. All the ends and outs of life to me have a purpose that I was given by God before I was born, and one was not to be fearful . This idea of purpose has helped me to realize that I don’t need to stressed, anxious, and fearful. I know that this life is scary but with God set as my path this life is can be carefree. Looking back on my life before being in a relationship with God I was surviving not

    I Have To Go Now Analysis

    It is about having a relationship with God before, during, and after those instances. Relationships will fade. Your time of singleness may come and go, but God will remain. His love for you will always be there regardless of your sin. No will ever be deserving of what God gives us, but he loves us so much that he overlooks that.…

    Why I Want To Be Essay

    I learned that I did not need to let go of the memories, but embrace them and use them towards my bright future, I learned to accept the reality of moving to a new place and teach myself that it was for the greater good. Today I realize that not everyone is who they say they are, and that is okay. I forgive them, I forgive myself. At that time I did not do anything to defend the truth and defend my God, but now I have a true reason to fight for. Moving from my social/spiritual home was the hardest thing I have done recently, but it is the best choice I have ever…

    I will get an education and and have a career for His Kingdom and not for myself. I now understand why I failed in my endeavors.

    Personal Narrative: My Secure Attachment Style

    I will never understand why those prayers were not answered the way I would have liked them to have been, with my mom being healed on Earth and able to spend more time with me and my family, but I trust in what God allowed to happen. I trust in what God allowed to happen, because I know that He loves me and is a faithful God. This life-altering trial demonstrated my secure relationship style with God, because I turned to Him and trusted Him in such a desperate time of need, rather than suppressing my feelings and turning away from…

    Spiritual Discipline

    I realized God is not revolving around me and my life, I am revolving around him along with my brothers and sisters in Christ. The honest priority of everyone in the group was God. It was opening and I had a new understanding. We weren’t sitting in chapel, no one was preaching at us, we were sitting in silence and I was able to understand God in a deeper way. The other practiced I enjoyed was Lectino Divina which similarly also had a lot of silence and sitting in the presence of God but more personal.…

    The Pursuit Of Self-Interest In Othellos

    I was amazed to see how this truly happens with the realization of its little regard for others necessities. However, it is because of the little regard for others that has always caused me to question why self-interest is viewed as an immoral aspect of life to Christians. Growing up as a pastors daughter, I have always heard that to pursue ones’ self-interest instead of Gods’ will is a terrible notion since it does not account for others within society. This has allowed for me to have some experience with pursuing self-interest through our moral beliefs. Pursuing self-interest allows for one to do as they wish without allowing God to have full…

    The Importance Of My Relationship With God

    I don’t remember ever not believing in God or knowing that he is there for me, but as I have lived my life I would slowly let my relationship with him grow distant. I am thankful that he has always called me back to him, I’m positive he does this every day but I don’t always listen. This situation could have crushed my faith, instead God has used it to restore my faith and my relationship with him, and not only to restore but to rebuild it better than it was before. God has shown me that he is enough for me, it doesn’t matter what circumstances I face. Shortly before my husband left I listened to a sermon that talked about God using us wherever we are at.…

    Faith In The Shack

    It is better to put faith in God rather than one 's self and that is evident by Proverbs 3:5-6: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight”. In the book The Shack by William Young, it showed what it meant to believe or hope in something and that it may not come true til you put God in your heart along with faith. The main character in the book, Mack, lost his young daughter and although he had no hope to save her, he hoped everyday that her body be found and that her killer be put in jail and his mind be put to rest. As he prayed and hoped that God would help find his daughter’s killer, God did just that, just as Mack believed he would but it only happened when Mack trusted God enough to give him a sign to help him with his time in need. To relate to a bible verse, you can look at Mathew 22: “If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer”.…
