"So, my dear brothers and sisters, be strong and immovable. Always work enthusiastically for the Lord, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless." --1 Cor. 15:58
Air One sent this to me today. And the great this about this is that I needed this reminder.
I just sent in my thesis for my english class. I'll be writing about the God of the old testament being the same God for modern christianity. You see, my teacher has made it pretty obvious he doesn't really believe. And as I was trying to think of a topic to write about I kept coming back to the same place. That being God is the same yesterday, today, and forever. He has been and will be the same from the beginning of time till the end of time. I was skeptical at first to try and tackle this topic because I didnt' want to appear as if I was trying to slap him with my faith or to be disrespectful and tell him he's wrong(even though he is).
However, I want to write about God because I'm not only interested in God more so than Greek mythology, but I love learning about God and writing about things I'm passionate about.
Now, am I afraid of getting a bad grade? Not really because at the end of the day, I still have God, and that's all I need. Do I care if he says that I'm wrong, and rips my paper to shreds? No, because I won't answer to my professor on judgement day, and I know without a shadow of a doubt that God is the alpha and omega.
My hope for my paper is this, that I can bring God glory through this paper. Maybe it will bless me, and maybe it will bless my teacher. I hope that it plants a seed in his heart, but I know that he'll at least be reading truth.
I pray that I don't come off defensive, snoody, hypocritical, or like I'm trying to condemn others.
so, please pray for me! I know at the end of the day everything will be ok, but I just want to bring God glory in all aspects of my life, even my school work.
Now go enjoy this beautiful, sunny day! love you all! :)
