and though i've been mistaken on this or that point; that light is God

really though?

this whole semester:

me: "teach me to love you more than i love myself. show me how beautiful You are compared to the things of this world that so often capture my heart. make me be more about pursuing You and Your purposes for my life than i am about pursuing things that are fleeting, emotional, temporal, and wasting away."

me: "this isn't getting any easier."

me: "this isn't what i expected."

me: "can't you just make me holy without having to go through crap?"








Him: "I will. it won't be easy. or what you expect. and you can't be like me unless you suffer like Me. what you want the least is proabably want you need the most. you want to follow Me? I choose your path. not you. "



me: "i don't think i can do this again."



Him: "you can't... without Me."






and i think that's the point.
