THOUGHT(s):
On Humility:
"Do not imagine that if you meet a really humble man he will be what most people call "humble" nowadways: he will not be a...person...who is always telling you that, of course, he is a nobody. Probably all you will think of him is that he seemed a cheerful, intelligent chap who took real interest in what you said to him...He will not be thinking about humility: he will not be thinking about himself at all". --C.S Lewis
Is this not the character of Christ? The ultimate embodiment of our infinitely loving and merciful Savior? As I come to learn more about Him the more I understand what humbleness really is. As we forget ourselves day by day we slowly become more like Him. We slowly become the particular kind of person that will be comfortable in Gods prescence. The becoming is our task here on earth! (I'm so excited for eternity!!!)
On Impossible Math:
"Five Loaves and Two Fishes" (a BYU devotional by Dallas Jenkins himself)
--> "It's not your job to feed the 5,000; its your job to bring the loaves and fishes".
God does impossible math. I know this to be true because I experience the power of the gift of tongues every day. There is no way its me alone that is learning so much vocab and remembering it every day. I know for a fact that my understanding of Chinese is not my own understanding. I still have to put in a lot of work--God still demands that we bring the loaves and fishes (he can't bring things to my remembrance that weren't there in the first place) but he is definitely feeding the 5,000. What an incredible opportunity it is to be a variable in the equation that allows God to do His impossible math!
(I need everyone to send me more things to read)
