I used to wonder what the appeal was of a Christian book store. I also used to wonder who shopped there...and, what they could find. I feel low for saying so; but, I really thought LESS of the people who shopped in those stores. How dare I.
I used to wonder why people listened to worship music in their free time, like, for enjoyment. I used to wonder what made it enjoyable.
I felt like THEY must've been missing out on something...
Boy, was I wrong.
It feels so AMAZING to learn about God. It feels like I am learning about true beauty, in all its forms. I seek out His words. I seek to witness His glory. I wish I knew of a Christian bookstore that I could peruse RIGHT NOW. Seriously. Read "1000 Gifts", by Ann Voskamp, and maybe you will feel that way, too.
It is inspiring to listen to worship music. It brings me so much joy. I often have a worship song running through my head, if not playing on my iPhone. Download a few songs from Hillsong and you might be inspired, too.
I know I have changed. Part of it is me seeking Him. Part of it is just the realization of what happened along the way. I LOVE GOD. I am so grateful that I understand Him more. He is the only one that can bring us true joy.
No matter how many college degrees or accolades or cars or houses or jewelry or things and more things we get, it will never be enough. We will never be full. We will always want more. But, God can fill us up. He is enough. There is no reason to ever want for more.
