InterVarsity's StudentSoul.org

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.
