freewill

this time with job decisions.....mainly.

Had a really scary dream last night and i'm pretty sure it was the Lord telling me stuff about Himself. Usually its about stuff i'm facing like people or decisions i'm making or what I've been thinking of, but this time it was about Himself. God has emotions. I was like "Ok, this is freakily amazing". HE is freakily amazing. (in two words) if there were more words i could go on and on and on and .....the song "Indescribable" (chris tomlin) makes sense. that speaks of creation. this was God Himself being so like us.

Reading thru a book "Hearing God's voice" by Henry Blackaby now. It speaks of the different ways God uses to speak to us mere man....ok not mere, after all we are made in His image. but the ways he spoke was different in the Old and New testament.

Some of my cell group were debating on the free will of God today. like, did He create us like Him, with Free will because He too has Free will? One of the girls suggested He gave us free will because He wanted the relationship with us and not a robot who always agrees with him. How about this: why can't He forgive us ALL if He were so good? It's because of sin that already cuts us off from a holy God. So by right, everyone is cast away from Him due to the fall of man. So the gift was Salvation through one man - who was all God yet all man - Jesus. that's where free will comes in. to take the gift of love or reject it. BUT What about people who did not have a chance to hear the gospel/good news? are they cast away? that is yet to be answered, a mystery...
