Throughout this past month, I've been seeing more of God's blessings. He’s been doing SUCH a healing work, not just in me physically over the past week but also in areas of my life that have been waiting redemption for years. (Be sure to ask me if you’re curious!) Our God is a God that doesn’t just give us what we need, but He also desires to lavish us with an unmatchable love that we definitely do not deserve. I don’t deserve to be here experiencing these things, but God’s letting me do it anyways. Now that I’m here, I shouldn’t waste it! I want to experience more of the world around me, because God has given it to me to experience.
And I don’t mean just Australia; I want to fully exercise and use the gifts that He offers me back at Berkeley to their full extent, because He has put me in that specific university at that specific time. He wants me not just to do all I can to further his Kingdom at Cal, He wants me receive all the blessings I can while I’m there too. But what this requires is action. Just as I am planning my trips around Australia, I can’t just wait and expect things to fall into place. I look up plane tickets, places to stay, things to do…in essence, I plan in pursuit of a goal. I’m sure I can have fun just sight-seeing around Melbourne, but if I want to experience all the Australia has to offer, I need to be active in finding all those things.
The same goes for Berkeley/LA. Those places have so much to offer, and I need to find and see/do/experience those things while I can!
Most importantly, the same goes for my Christian walk. I need to be active in doing all I can for Him, but I also need to be active in receiving all I can from Him too.
