the longest book ever

GUYS!! I know it's been forever since I last posted on here but something just keeps hitting me that I realllllly want to share with ya'll. So here goes :)

I was reading in John the other day, all the way at the end. The very last verse of John says "Jesus did many other things as well," (the whole book talks about his life and everything he did) "If every one of them were written down, I (John) suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written."

THAT'S INCREDIBLE. Something that hit me...Jesus was alive for 33 years, right? He only did 3 years of ministry, right? According to John, there wouldn't be enough room in the WORLD to hold the records of all he had done. I know you can argue that he's using hyperbole, but still...that's a pretty sweet hyperbole.

I just imagine my college textbooks...they are HUGE. I just got my microbiology book yesterday (speaking of which I got it from some shady overseas Chinese market and saved $100 hollaaaaa) and it's like 800+ pages. It's pretty amazing to think that if a book could hold all the things Jesus did, it would be smaller than my micro book. That's a dang big book!!

This just got me thinking. Jesus's 3 years of ministry had an immeasurable amount of works come out of it. Just imagine the work that has been done since! Often I forget that the Holy Spirit is just as much God as Jesus was. For the past TWO THOUSAND years God has been doing amazing things through the Holy Spirit. Imagine all the huge books that could be published with all of those works...

This has just challenged me to let myself be more open to let God work in me. He can do so so so much through his followers, as we can see through the past 2,000 years of history. One verse I have fallen in love with over the past few months is 2 Timothy 1:7 which says, "For God didn't give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of loveand of self-discipline." The same Spirit that was working in Jesus is the Holy Spirit who is working in Christians...now that is something to be excited about!!!

The biggest book in the world can't contain the works of God...let's keep adding to that :)
