Maegans Journey: Loving the Unlovable.

Today was wonderful. I thought I would be worn out because I was up way to late but I actually had alot of energy. This morning we started out with prayer and after that I had devotion and I will talk about my devotion in a minute. We had a pretty simple day. We got some good study time in which is wonderful. I'm hoping to finish reading tonight so I can finish it tomorrow during study time. We also had Josueghan 101 which was Josue and Meghan telling us a little about there life growing up. It was really cool to learn stuff about them that I had not idea about. They are going to do another class about their marriage life which is going to be fun to learn about. We had Uth tonight and it was just a fantastic night. God really moved and Pastor Curtus brought a great message as he always does. It was actually about Acts 4 and I had never really paid any attention to that story but it was a really good night. Afterwards me and Katie went to Waffle house to have a little date to just talk. It was a good time which I believe we both needed. I also got to spend some quality time talking with Sonja and Katie which was really good. I always enjoy being with them two. So God has really blessed today and let us all have great attitudes today which I always love. :)

I just want to tell you about my devotion I did this morning. I actually had a devotion written out and though I didn't change the topic of my devotion God totally changed everything I was going to say while I was praying. I read from Galatians 2:11-14 and what I get from this story of Peter is that Peter was okay with sitting with the non-Jewish people but as soon as the Jewish people came he moved because he was ashamed and scared of what the others may think of him. Paul saw Peter do this and he told him that he was no different than the non-Jewish people because he was not following the truth of the good news. Nothing was making him different than the non-Jewish people because he couldn't even show them love. I believe that is how we are as Christians today. We are so scared to talk to be that are outcast or have a different religion than us because of what other may think and say. To be honest I struggle with this and I really didn't realize who i had affected until this morning in prayer. One thing i wrote down that God gave me was Let our hearts ache for your love Lord. Let it be filled completely with the love of You. Not only that we can love You but that we may love ourselves and others the way you do. If we as Christians aren't going to love the lost, broken, hurting, confused, or just anyone who needs love then who is? We are the ones who are suppose to love everyone not just people like us or people that are for us but EVERYONE. So that's my new goal is to love people the way God loves them. We have to start showing a hurting world, the heart of God. They wont ever see it unless his people share it. So lets make Love something really more than just a word. :) Hope this moves in your heart. I love you all oh so much. Love Always, Maegan
