The Fifth Day

24 And God said, "Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: livestock, creatures that move along the ground, and wild animals, each according to its kind." And it was so. 25 God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good. Genesis 1:24-25

My Thursdays are evolving into good days. Tonight was definitely one of those good nights. I finaly had a chance to spend a good amount of time before God examining what I have been doing at Berkeley; I have been able to re-evaluate my own goals and actions and also spend time seeking God's will for my time here.

During the time of prayer tonight God really spoke to me through scripture, specifically Luke 15. It felt good to be reminded how much God loves me even though I so often act like I don't deserve to be loved. Tonight as I drew near to God, I could definitely feel him drawing near to me, and while reading Luke 15 I could relate to the different parrables.

I know that I am saved, but being reminded of how much God loves us is super awesome. Here are a few of my favorite exceprts from this chapter:

And when he finds it [the lost sheep], he joyfully puts it on his shoulders and goes home. verse 5
But whil he was still a long way off, his father sw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him. verse 20

Not only do these relfect the love that I can sense from Christ, but also gives me a heart that wants to share about him. It is one of my desires to draw near to God and I pray that God can help transform me into someone who loves to seek him out.

No class tomorrow. G'nite
