I'm no mind reader. Insert your own thought here. Though I'd guess you know how to breathe, some math, and about cottage cheese.

Mind games.

Chug the Pepsi!

Now that the important stuff is out of the way, can I tell about an experience I had earlier?

OK, no one said no in that awkward silence.

I was riding in the car with my Dad, and out of the blue, he says "Sometime, I would like to see inside your mind. Know how it works."

Nothing could be more horrifying to me. I'd rather stand nude in front of a crowd. That, they could forget...the stuff that goes on in my mind...that I am ashamed of.

So I expressed my disgust and vehemence the following way "...Nah."

So yeah. I honestly think people would hate me if they could see in my mind. It's not like I walk around thinking of evil/dirty thoughts. Just the random stuff that pops in my head that I have to push away. I hope you understand what I'm talking about, as I would hate to be alone in this.

Anyway, it hit me hard as I sat there: GOD KNOWS EVERYTHING IN MY MIND. And...He loves me still. Not only loves me, but wants to be with me. Wants me to be with Him. Not just for awhile, but for forever.

Knowing all that goes on in my head, all the terrible thoughts, selfish ideas, ETC...He still decided to give His Perfect, clean, Holy, Son up in my place. The son that never let's Him down. The Son that never failed in His life. The Son that was wiling to die in a most horrible way for all people. He gave him up for me. And you. Everyone on this planet that fails and falls short (AKA: All of us).

That's...mind blowing. The amount of love...words cannot describe it.

  1. I LOVE this post. Your conversation with your dad and your subsequent feelings afterward pretty much sums up me and my dad's relationship, haha.

    Also, oh, how He loves us. <3
