Wow I just realized this. Had to put it up here.
I watched another rom-com today : wedding crashers.
Watched another one yesterday after watching forgetting sarah marshall. Forgot the name though...
Anyway, my point is that I have made intimacy/'love' my idol. I'm chasing after it as if it can satisfy my love. While I was resting on my bed while the movie credits rolled, this thought just hit me. I think it was the Holy Spirit convicting me.
It's just that I so desire that intimacy and want it to be fulfilled that I look to movies in order to 'fulfill' it; momentarily.
Today, I saw this testimony of a lady who grew up in a Christian home and yet she hadn't understood the gospel. She shared her experience on how, suddenly, one day it hit her (https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=I76D2bb_zYA). It was about 40 minutes long, but it was beautiful. She emphasized the point that apart from Christ, she was a depraved wretch; me too.
As I listened to that testimony, the gospel was preached to me once again and it resonated deep within me.
I could only cry, in happiness, that I was and am a sinner, a horrible one, according to God's laws, but Jesus willingly came to the Earth and died a torturous death in order to pay my penalty for sinning against God. Wow. I wasn't even crying, I was groaning/moaning, or as they say in my language, konkanni, uskun uskun radun aslo.
"Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways!" Romans 11:33
How great is His wisdom in sending Jesus for me and giving me perfect peace.
I love you, Jesus.
Tired and gotta sleep.
Nighty night.
