What If God Loves You?
A question everyone asks at some point in their life
“Does God really love me?”
In the spring of my sophomore year of college, I was forced to think about this question. Prior to this point, I was partying hard, trying to get laid, and so self-absorbed that I had no connection to God whatsoever.
In fact, in the middle of my escapades, some asked me if I thought I would go to hell for all the things I was doing. And I responded with a pithy saying which I had no understanding what it actually meant.
When I was at the height of my college experience things began to crumble all around me. Everything that I thought I was in control of was actually out of my control. I began to fall into destructive behaviors and was probably closer to dropping out of school than I would have like to admit at the time.
In the middle of this slow spiral, a friend of mine invited me to a Bible study.
Yep, that's right, he asked me if I wanted to go to a Bible study with a bunch of sorority girls and a few dudes. He had actually been asking me to go for months, but most of the time I turned him down.
