I love my job. I have an incredible opportunity to help students grow closer to God and equip them with the tools they need to walk close with Him in one of the most difficult times in their lives. Here are 5 things I wish every student knew about God:
1. God loves you. But understand this: His love is perfecting not pampering. He is more concerned about you growing more like him, not simply you being happy.
2. God has spoken to you. God wrote a book and He wrote it to you. READ IT. Don't try and just open it when you have a problem and expect it to all make sense. Get into a habit to reading a little each day, but remember to dig into it and see how it applies to your life and what it has to teach you.
3. God isn't acting on your terms. Don't wait for God to light up a burning bush in your locker. He has spoken and the ball is on your court.
4. God had a plan for you. Don't let this statement freak you out and make you think that if you ever make a bad decision your screwed and you will never be able to live up to what God made you to be. What i mean by that statement is that God has gifted you and is going to open doors for you to live the abundant life if you give him your all.
5. God wants to hear from you. Going to church is awesome and having good biblical morals is great, but what God wants most of all, and this blows my mind, is a relationship with us. He wants to walk with us through life and guide us. He is looking for people who are willing to follow him.
To know God is our goal, not simply know about Him. Do you know Him?
