Today as I went on my way to life group, God started to speak to me through an old dream I had…. my dream happened a couple of years ago before I joined hope church. I was feeling like God could never forgive me, and I prayed to Him every-night for about 2 weeks asking him to reveal Himself to me in a dream, to show me that I can be forgiven. After two weeks God gave me this dream:

I had come to the end of a maze, all the walls where white, and I was with another man that wore a white suite… he brought me to a white door with a square glass window. As he brought me to the door he stood next to it and said to me “God wants to see you”, now this was something in my family that would usually happen when we where in trouble so I was a bit nervous. Anyway, next to this door was a small crack in which I could run away and avoid God, I started to make a dash for the gap but then realized I cannot run from God, I should go in and face what will happen. I opened the door and walked into the room, or it would probably better to say space…. I was floating in outerspace, though I had complete control over where I moved. Anyway I saw a throne in front of me and looked down, I thought God would surely condemn me. But then to my surprise, God reached right into me (without words) and let me know that I was fully accepted, I he gave me absolutely everything I needed to feel like a full human… I felt at that moment in my dream like I was what I was supposed to be, I felt whole, complete and accepted… it felt like nothing I have ever felt here on earth. Then I woke up…

God brought this dream to me today though to say something else to me, he spoke to me and said, what was with you when you where in front of me? I thought about it… nothing was, it was just me and Him, and I had felt so complete. I began to think about this. I thought wow, God is really the all of what we need, nothing else… God alone…I should give up all and put God first because he is all I need.

After these thoughts I arrived at life group with it still coming up in the back of my mind every so often, then during praise and worship John shared this verse:

[31] Or what king, going out to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and deliberate whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand? [32] And if not, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends a delegation and asks for terms of peace. [33] So therefore, any one of you who does not renounce all that he has cannot be my disciple. (Luke 14:31-33 ESV)

The general gist of the night was about giving your all to God, something that God had brought to my own mind. But God was planning on teaching me one thing more about it. As the night went on I realized that God wanting us to give us our all to Him is actually because He loves us that much.. I thought about myself before God, I had nothing but me and thats how God loved me… just as I am… me!! with nothing to give but myself, and God loves me…. now How could I not give my all to a God that loves me in such a way. I can’t even begin to fathom how much God loves me, you or anyone… think about it… its incomprehensibly.  When I realized how surrendering all fits into God’s love for me I became more willing in my heart to surrender. God’s loves us completely, and he also is all of what we need. Lets surrender our all to God because we know he cares about us

[6] Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, [7] casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you. (1 Peter 5:6-7 ESV)

[28] Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. [29] Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. [30] For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” (Matthew 11:28-30 ESV)

And after talking about God’s love, I really cannot leave this blog without mentioning about how God showed us this love through Jesus…. The Father sent His Son Jesus, to take on the sins of the world on himself, God loved us so much that he would die to spend eternity with you!!! now think about that!…. If someone was willing to give their life to save yours, how do you think they feel about you? God loved you that much….Since God gave up His life for us, lets give up our lives for Him.

[16] “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. [17] For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. [18] Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. (John 3:16-18 ESV)

[16] By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers. [17] But if anyone has the world’s goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God’s love abide in him? (1 John 3:16-17 ESV)
