All i have is one suggestion. Just think for a couple minutes at least on this phrase: "God loves you." It's a phrase that has all but lost it's meaning in our culture to a certain extent, because the overwhelming majority of people who say it on the regular basis give no real-life indication that God loves anyone but themselves.
But it really is one of the most profound statements that anyone has ever made. People (a group into which i fall) struggle with why God loves them, or when God loves them, or if God even loves them at all. Or is God even real?
i personally believe God is very real. i believe He created everything which we call reality, and thus is in ways i don't fully understand more than real. Maybe you don't believe that. Me telling you you're wrong in this blog isn't going to change that. Maybe you'd like even less to do with any sort of Higher Being if i did that. It is, after all, what religious people have done for centuries to no avail. Told others they're wrong. But i'm getting off track. Whether or not you believe in God, please just humor me for a second. When you contemplate what it means that God, the ultimate reality inventor, loves me and you personally, passionately, and actually, then does it not make sense that that fact should utterly challenge and shape the way we live right now and five minutes from now and when i'm taking my exam on Monday? To think about and truly understand that God Himself would Love people in our absolute filth--doesn't that require a paradigm shift?
