i know nothing

the last few months have taught me something, i know nothing. i'm not as smart as i like to think i am, i don't have answers to anything. i don't understand why good things happen, don't understand why bad things happen. i don't understand why relationships end, friendships end, why people let you down. i don't know. i don't know. i don't know. i don't know. but i know a few things. God is good through it all.


God loves you. So much. He loves you so much.
No matter what you've done.
No matter how many lies you've told.
No matter how many people you've slept with.
No matter how many joints you've smoked, beers you've downed. 
No matter what you do or what you will do.
God loves you. So much. He loves you so much.
No matter how many swear words you say.
No matter how many people you hit.
No matter how many tests you cheated on.
No matter how many people you've hurt.
God loves you.
He loves you so much that he doesn't want you to go to hell.
We all deserve hell. But God sent his son, Jesus, to die so that we didn't have to die for our sins.
Now all we have to do is die to our sins and live for Jesus.
It doesn't mean that nothing bad will happen.
It doesn't mean that the storms won't come.
That people won't hurt you.
That sickness won't come.
But when those things happen, you are attached to a fixed point.
You won't be moved. 
Because God loves you. So much. And he will hold you through your pain.
He's the best. He wants to spend as much time as he can with you. He would do anything to save you. He died the worst death to save you.
And when you love things more than you love God, he is jealous for you. He just wants to overwhelm you with his love.
