Past, Present, Future

After my previous post titled "The Principle of the Path" comes this post titled "Past, Present, Future."
I have been spending a great deal of my Christmas break thinking through things, as well as reading and writing.
This post may be a little choppy because my findings are far from complete.
Here's a few quick thoughts:
1 - Prayer is very very very powerful, and we do not pray enough.
2 - Good things come to those who wait.
3 - C.S. Lewis was a brilliant writer.
4 - Jesus' love is insane. How in the world do we ever take His love for granted?
The KING of the whole universe, made Himself a servant, and came in the likeness of a child. He subjected Himself to this, He emptied Himself, He lived inside of a 13 or 14 year old girl whom He created, and then He was raised by two humans who He created. He had brothers and sisters. He grew up with all of the normal issues facing children. He did all of this when He could have come as a conquering King!
He could have rushed in with a host of angels!
But...as Audrey Assad puts it: "He came like a winter snow...quiet and soft and slow, falling from the sky in the night to the earth below."
He did this to save us all from ourselves.
It's this "foolishness" that saved the world.
The world calls all of this "foolishness," and it is because they cannot comprehend such love.
Wow.
5 - I am in the middle of creating a lot of goals.
I have some really big things I want to do in the future, but I have no idea how to get there.
That's where I'm at now.
I understand everything that God has done for us, and what He does for us every day.
I get life, I get how it's supposed to be lived.
It's so simple: He says to be like Jesus and to love like Jesus.
"His Will" is revealed in His Word.
He has told us how to lived.
We have no excuses.
So: Because of His great love.
I am resolved to live like Jesus today, and every day for the rest of the days that God graciously grants me.
