Laws and more laws


Over and over in Leviticus it is you must do this or you must not do this...over and over again.

It's hard reading. It's boring, but important. So, do you think Moses got bored and tuned God out like we do? Or perhaps he wrote it all down and was like could you hurry up a little bit - I've got it already?

I don't think so!

Moses got it!

It saddens me when I really look at me sometimes. I get this is important, but I'm lying if I don't admit it's hard to read it. It's details, details. It's killing animals. It's sin! Sin! and more Sin! I like to cover sin not kill something and let everybody know what I've been up to...even though God already knows and He is all that matters!

Just yesterday at the mission we were discussing how hard the rules are for the women to follow and that we aren't any different than when we were children. We don't like rules, but at the same time we know we matter when someone cares enough to make the rules!!!

God loves us sooooooooo much! Jesus loves us sooooooo much! Our sins are covered nowadays with Jesus blood - the ultimate sacrifice and still we don't like to look at this sacrifice either. We like to focus on the stories, the miracles, the love shown, but not the ultimate sacrifice made for each of us! We better focus on it and realize just how much indeed we are loved!!!

Sweet blessings,

A "biggie" in the reading today for me was Leviticus 19:2, "You must be holy because I, the Lord your God, am holy."
