Passion

Hey everyone!
Let me start off by saying that I missed you this week!! I was unable to read the posts because I was in Mexico but seriously it was probably one of the only things I missed =]!!

So this week was passion and oh how fitting that was!
This week I literally could feel God's passion flowing through me. It was the weirdest/best feeling ever. I thought it was so awesome that I was studying about God's passion for me and experiencing my passion for him.
Tuesday: "Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ. He annointed us, set his seal of ownership on us, and put his spirit in our hearts as deposit, guaranteeing what is to come" - 2nd Corinthians 1:21

Our Mexico trip's theme was "The Stand" it was talking about how we as Christians we must take a stand against the devil's schemes according to Eph 6. So when I read this on Tuesday morning I was like whoa reoccuring theme!
The fact that we can stand firm in Christ gives me confidence that he is my safety net that he will give me strength, courage, and equip me for the stand. This is where my passion for God comes in. I love him so much and have such a passion for his name because he died for me and is willing/able to be my safety net! All for me.

Then the next part "He annointed us, set his seal of ownership on us, and put his spirit in our hearts as depoist, guranteeing what is to come."
He is so passionate about us. We are His! We belong to him. He is so in love with us, he is so passionate about us because we are his. We are his sons and daughters. He is such a dad. He loves us then more than we can imagine. AHHH! I think that's so awesome. Divine Romance comes to my mind.
Lets take a stand in God and realize that he is IN love with US!
