Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us. - Romans 5

I truly appreciate G and everyone who has ever complimented me for my knowledge of scripture, theology, and general Christian news, but at the end of the day, instead of being known for my knowledge, I would rather be known as the guy who cared. 4 years ago, even 2 years ago, no one would have recognized me for knowing what I know now, but I have always been that person who lived for others. Mebbe I've grown more selfish. I gained all this knowledge not to puff myself up (heheh) but to bring people closer to Christ. But I know that most of the time, it is the arm embracing, the ear listening, and the heart caring and breaking that reveals the kind of Love poured out from the Cross. That is what I strive for, alway strive for, as I continue to live in this world.
