Keep on Loving

okay this will be super short, but more to come tomorrow (maybe :) I just got off the phone with my rockin' fiance (the pic is a flower that came from a gorgeous bouquet from him for my bday and our names in Greek! so cool!) So now am ready to hit the hay, but i learned the coolest thing in Greek today and just feel the urge to share it with the world!

All scripture is from God ( 2 Tim. 3:16), but it is cool to see how God spoke through the writers of scripture, including the use of their own individual personalities. John, the writer of the gospel of John around 90 AD is many times referred to as the "Beloved Disciple" or as "the disciple Jesus loved."I guess to many it could sound a little "full of himself" for John to write and "the disciple Jesus loved...." talking about himself right? But today we learned about the different verb tenses in Greek, and one tense I guess that it's just the past tense would make words like "like", "talk", and "laugh" into the words "liked" talked" and "laughed" right? Well there is another tense in Greek that is not in English that i'll just nickname the "continuing tense" so verbs like "like", "talk" and "laugh" would become (in english) kept on liking, to keep on talking, and kept on laughing. WELL (apologies for the long intro!), in Greek the phrase "the disciple Jesus loved" should really be translated as "the disciple Jesus kept on loving." This was monumental for me. John was no longer a "confident" disciple but now became a lowly, humble servant of His savior.

May we take the same approach in life. God loves us. And isn't it so refreshing to know that God "keeps on loving" us even after all we do to profane His name and what He died for?

Live your life in light of His grace.

And with that, goodnight world :)
