A long time ago I was asked to blog about what God meant to me personally. Since there really is no way to describe this (especially without the help of voice inflections and multiple hand gestures), I have been putting this post off for some time. Finally, I decided that it would just be easier to use the words of the ever amazing King David in Psalm 23.
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. (Supply)
He makes me lie down in greeen pastures, (Rest)
he leads me beside quiet waters, (Refreshment)
he restores my soul. (Healing)
He guides me in paths of righteousness (Guidance)
for his name's sake. (Purpose)
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, (Challenge)
I will fear no evil, (Assurance)
for you are with me; (Faithfulness)
your rod and your staff, they comfort me. (Comfort)
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. (Abundance)
Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, (Blessing)
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. (Security)
God is everything I could ever want or need. Even this amazing pslam doesn't do him justice. Sometimes I just look out a window or something and think, Wow, God made all of this just for me. What the heck have I done to deserve it?
The answer: Absolutely nothing. It makes me smile to realize there's someone out there who loves me that much :)

I actually just had sort of an epiphany (haha, look up that word in the dictionary) about religion, might be kinda offensive at least at first but I'm interested to know what you think.
In case you hadn't guessed, I posted it on my blog under a largely different title than what it ended up being.
