Milk, Goodreads, and Restless Hearts
If I could plainly state to someone my reason for reading my bible, for spending time in prayer, in worship, attending church, ministering to our church body, for that matter, I would tell you it is to love God and know God. That statement is true most of the time, but is it always that I want to know God? Or rather, have I fallen into times of just wanting to know OF God?
Why do we pray?
“Why do we pray?”
The Bible talks at length about prayer. Fun fact: There are two things that God loves to collect. Prayers & Tears. Meaning every prayer you whisper, sandwiched in between your morning yawns, is intimately collected by God. Your tears are the same. Bottled up and stored as a reminder by our Father that He is deeply connected to both our victories and our agonies. The truth of the matter is that though our earthly bodies are aging, adding more wrinkles, moles, and bald spots than we would care for along the way, our prayers and tears are stored up eternally - they aren’t old news to Jesus.
I AM IN HIM, AND HE IS IN ME.
My biological son consists of 30 trillion human cells. That is a 3 with 13 zeros after it. A number so large it’s impossible to grasp its enormity. Think of the distance to the nearest star in miles.
With the exception of his red blood cells and platelets, every one of those cells has within it a molecule called DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid).
