...Where can I go from your spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If i go up to the heavens, you are there; If i make my bed in the dpths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if i settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast. If i say, "Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me" even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you...
Sometimes i wonder how i would be if i were not a christian. What my life would be like. I probably would be miserable and get into some kind of addiction, find a way to escape the real world. Maybe cheat people and have no sense of integrity. Or maybe i would be a nice person doing good things for people, feeling good about myself. There was a time when i was young and after sitting outside the house observing the world go about its daily business, i honestly thought at that time, if everyone was like me there will be less problems. Now i know thats a dangerous thought.
One thing i have come to know is that God loves diversity, thats why there's not just one color, one type of plant or animal, why there's male and female, why there are people even twins with different characters, attitudes and beliefs. Different kind of languages and cultures. But whats beautiful is when all those differences come together for a singular purpose. If that purpose is to worship God then its a very powerful thing.
Today I am grateful that God saught me out and chose to save me. I know i don't deserve anything i get from him but i think its important sometimes to remember what we are saved from and what we are saved to. And its important to stop sometimes and reflect on what really matters.
I may not be where i ought to be but thank God i'm not where i used to be. :)
