I was kinda freaked out while listening to this sermon today... although it may have been thousands of years ago... Ananias and Sapphira just straight up dying for what they did... not even someone else finding out and killing them but God just knowing what they did... but seeing these kinds of things... makes me realize (and Ben may have said it today in some shape or form but me not remembering off top of my head) how important it is to be honest with people... and to not hide things from anyone because it doesn't really help to hide things most of the time..
but seeing things like this.. it is awesome that God gives us free will (no... i won't try and do what Ananias did)... but being able to make our own choices in life and giving us the choice to be with Him willingly seems so much better than being forced or being puppets...
another thing that spoke a lot to me was the talk about love... to love someone is to be willing to sacrifice anything for them... kinda puts things into more perspective into loving others... i kinda think about what i am willing to sacrifice for my loved ones... or if people actually do realize if i love them or not... because sometimes it may be hard to show for some people or maybe hard to see for me sometimes... (not saying i don't love anyone or anyone doesn't love me) i just had some thoughts of what i may need to do to show it more....
