Just Thinkin'...

I wasn't created for a vicarious relationship with God,

I was made to experience Him one-on-one.

That's why Jesus came... so that we would never have to go through another human being to obtain access to God again. He paid the price so that we could live at peace with God forever. No bad thing that is happening in your life is the result of God punishing you. He is at peace with mankind, just not everyone knows it yet! This scripture has come to my mind while I'm typing and so I'll leave you with this thought:

How beautiful on the mountains
are the feet of those who bring good news,
who proclaim peace,
who bring good tidings,
who proclaim salvation,
who say to Zion,
“Your God reigns!

- Isaiah 52:7
