Soul Cravings

On Saturday I went to the University of Manitoba Campus for Christ fellowship dessert evening. Really I did not know exactly what CFC was about our what they stood for till attended that evening. These university students goal is to change the world. Many from the group are running bible studies and are going on summer projects. The video presentation really moved me. The point of the evening was a fundraiser.

I was given a book called Soul Cravings written by Erwin Raphael McManus. If you can get your hands on a copy please do. I'm really enjoying it. Here is some tid bits that stood out to me from the first chapter called Intimacy.

Your retina may be necessary for sight but your soul shapes what you see.

We cannot live unaffected by love. We are most alive when we find it, most devastated when we lose it, most empty when we give up on it, most inhumane when we betray it, and most passionate when we pursue it.

It's a wonderful thing when your heart guides you to the very One you need the most. The strange thing about God is that the One we deserve the least is the One who desires us the most.

Home is ultimately not about a place to live but about the people with whom you are most fully alive.

It is insanity to run from God and search for love.

You are unique and irreplaceable. You are the object of God's love.

Why is it that so many who represent him are ever so quick to condemn?

That may be the most powerful thing about love. Love gives us a fresh start. Love gives us a reason to live.

Three more chapters to go. Destiny, Meaning and Seek.
