I think you had an incredible experience.
Ha...Brie,<br />I think you had an incredible experience.<br />Hard, yes. Sounds like God used that moment to reveal to you how desperate the need is around you and how you have a very real role to play in it. (Just as I do...)<br />That example is a perfect picture of the self indulgence that pretty much all of us in North America routinely practice without question, despite the brutal need in the rest of the world.<br />There is a verse in Romans that says, its His kindness that leads us to repentance, and that He disciplines the one's He loves..<br />God's kindness is in that moment, bc He wants you to be more like Jesus...and the beauty of that, is that tho that moment has passed you, you can still choose to respond to it...by asking and allowing God to continue His work in your heart..this feels very lectureish...love you.
