I want you to understand why I do what I do.  This blog, this life, only one thing matters in all of it, my God, my King.

Starting today, I have completely filled the schedule of my life with work and school.  With 4 days of the week leading Bible studies and 2 day studying school, I have only one day of relaxation in my week.  (during which time I will probably be planning my lessons for the next week)  So why would I, a single 20 year old guy, give up everything, everything that a normal college student would love?

Because my God gave it all for me.  Because He got down on His hands and knees to clean up the mess of my life.  God, Jesus, the Creator of the Universe, the Ruler of nations, the Alpha and the Omega, sacrificed His divinity, His rights, His life to clean the filth off of me and give me a chance to live a life of purpose.

I have never fully grasped the concept of unconditional love.  A love that I did nothing to gain.  A love that I could never do anything to lose.  I find it impossible to fully believe.  Every night I lay in bed asking God why He continues to use me after I have failed Him so many times and the answer is always the same: unconditional love.  It is such a powerful idea, a love that requires no prerequisites.  No matter who I am, what I have done, who I know, what I say, how I look, the color of my skin, or where I am from, I am loved by the King.

That is why I give it all up.  That is why my life is only for Him.  If He would sacrifice His holiness, His “god-ness”, His life for me, what I am giving back to Him?

1 Corinthians 15:58 - “Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.”
