This one's long overdue.

It's been awhile since I posted something about God and His plan and His love, and today, I got that inspiration again, to convey another message.

I was walking around, sweeping the kitchen earlier, thinking about how The Child has like a million talks already prepared within her teaching arsenal. Well, not a million, but like 40, no joke. Anyways, that got me to thinking. The Child has HELLA talks, and judging from the last one that I attended, they are well-prepared, and set up and ready to go on a moments' notice.

Since the camp I graduated from, I've been craving to spread some of my knowledge on God and how He can work through us humans in order to speak His word to everyone. Inspiration from Him can come from anywhere, from a painting, a photo, a song, a speech... All of those, generated by humans, generated by US. God gave us these gifts, not only for our sake, but because we can use them for Him as well. How many songs have you heard by Kevin Discipulo, that are God-inspired? It's amazing, isn't it? It's like, God is working artistry through a human being. Another example, how many of my blogs have you seen that are God-inspired? You see what I'm getting at?

Now, I've got another example, the most famous one. His teachings inspired masses of people, his life changed the face of the entire time line of Earth's history, and the whole population of the world along with it. And even in the present, two-thousand years later, after he was executed for blaspheming, we are still spreading his teachings to the people of the Earth. You know who I'm talking about, right?

Even though Jesus was the Son of God, he was still a human, albeit a perfect human, and God worked miracles through him. We can do the same, brothers and sisters, we have that ability, because God gave each and every one of us a brain, and speech, and as long as we can utilize them for Him, we can strike inspiration in any and all. And we HAVE, and continue to do so, two or three times a year, in bulk, for every youth camp that we host, we inspire these candidates, and it's so amazing how God works. He gave us the power and the means to inspire, AND He brings those who are desperate to receive Him to us, so that they might feel His love, and experience His presence.

That, in and of itself, is a miracle. To be able to change the lives of 30-40 kids over the course of three days. That is truly a feat of greatness, something brought on by the divine. And we don't even do it just once, no, we have the opportunity to keep GOING, keep spreading God's love, keep touching the lives and souls of these kids for God. THAT is something so unreal, we're carrying on Jesus' legacy. That's something to be more than proud of.

Now, I'll end this post with a question. Just ponder on it for a bit:

How does God inspire you, and how do you inspire others?
