HI thur (sday)

Ok so im just continuing with Romans 11 and i came upon this metaphor i guess you could call it and it goes a little something like this...HIT IT! 16: If the part of the dough offered as firstfruits is holy, then the whole batch is holy, then the whole batch is holy; if the root is holy, so are the branches. 17 : If some of the branches have been broken off and you, though a wild olive shoot, have been grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing sap from the olive root, 18 do not boast over those branches. If you do, consider this: You do not support the root, but the root supports you. 19: You will say then, "Branches, were broken off so that I could be grafted in." 20: Granted. But they were broken off because of unbelief, and you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but be afraid. 21: For if God did not spare the natural branches, he will not spare you either.

Ok, so normally, when i read things like this i just get frustrated and bored, skim, and forget it. So i really tried on this one guys :)

This passage really reminds me of a similar thought process that I typically take, I always think to myself that I am the one who makes, initiates, maintains i guess my relationship with God. But when i think about it further, I realize that if God were a person we would never hang out, probs only talk on fb once in a while, but I would say we were friends just because we all know he's a pretty cool dude.

When I think about it more, I guess I get more of a big picture type thing, yes it is him who retains it due to his grace. Like, ok, he still blesses me, gets me through things, and all this other stuff while i continue to ignore him. So really just like the metaphor states, it is him who supports the relationship and im stupid the think otherwise. He chose me specifically and let's get real i can EASILY be replaced. There are 6 billion others out there, plus he just make more if he wants.
