I love reading the prophets.  These poor people it just seemed as if no one would listen to them.  Well, I found out my gifts are prophesy and discernment.  I told God a few weeks ago that I thought He is weird.  Why would he give me these gifts.  Why not serving, hospitality, or giving.  Those gifts would be a lot funner then mine!  Well I do love TRUTH.  That is what the gift of prophecy is all about, telling the truth.  And it's also nice to know that I can tell with God's help when someone is going to turn away from the truth no matter how much I tell it.  I was reading in Jeremiah chapter 7 today.  God told Jeremiah to stop praying for these people and to stop weeping for them.  God knows if you are going to listen to Him.  God considered these people a lost cause.  You see God does not make us listen to Him.  God will never stop pursuing you, but you get to decide if you want to hear the truth.  Before I knew Jesus I was a mess.  God gave me lots of opportunities to listen to Him, but I did not want to change.  I was too busy trying to make myself happy with partying.  It wasn't until I started to work at camp that God opened my eyes.  Nothing like working at a beautiful place with no electricity out in the middle of no where to open your eyes.  The fact of the matter is I needed to be at camp just as much as the kids.  I needed a job were I had to stop thinking about myself and take care of others.  But I wanted to change.  I hated who I had become and that is were God met me, or what I should say that is were I started to pay attention.  I'm glad that I'm God's kid.  I trust God, He has not done me wrong yet and he never will. That is the truth!
