At Urbana 06, StudentSoul.org set up a graffiti wall with three questions. One was a reflective question: “How is God at work in your soul?” Here are some of the responses students wrote on the wall:
- Transforming!
- Teaching me to learn to trust him?
- Trusting God to lift my worries and burdens.
- God is slowly healing me!
- He is revealing many truths to me. He is showing me what it takes to be a follower of him.
- Being open to meeting people that I may not usually speak with.
- God is teaching me his ways and training me to serve his people.
- He’s teaching me to party like a Narwhal! (For Jesus, of course.)
- Helping me seek community, and allowing others to care for me…being real with people and with God. :-)
- He’s saying “I love you – do you love me more than these?”
- Helping me to become more trusting of him.
- Preparing me.
- I bring glory to him and joy to his Spirit in ways that no one else can — that is why he wants relationship with me.
- Teaching me that I am his treasure.
- Stretching me, and sometimes in ways that are uncomfortable.
- I am struggling to find the balance between being analytical and being critical. (InterVarsity staff)
- Being at peace with not always fitting in because I am who he wants me to be — a Christian Goth. Rare but cool.
- Showing me his love for Muslims.
- Calling my pride out of me, and teaching me to submit instead of being stubbornly independent.
- Teaching me what love is — what it is to all, and to me, to be loved, and to love in return.
- Showing me that I belong to him and the reason I don’t fit in is because I’m not supposed to. He is my home.
