Amazing Love

Wow, it is Sunday morning, beautiful brisk fall day and I am just so amazed how Awesome our God is!! I have to say, I really thought I would be better about blogging more frequent, but I am finding out that I don't log in as much as I should. I apologize for that.

This week God really showed up in so many ways, from work, to family to youth group. He is a Mighty and Loving God that is not bound by time. When I think of how big our God is, I think of stories like Isaiah's commission, that when he was in the throne room of God, even the angels couldn't look at God. All they could do was cover their face and feet, and fly around singing

"Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory."

(For reference to this scripture, for those who want to know, read Isaiah 6:1-9)

I think of how mighty he is that Heavenly beings cant even look at him, but that very same God knows me. And not just knows me, but knows who I am, who I was and who I am going to be. I love the story of Jeremiah when God reveals himself to Jeremiah. It says this in Jeremiah 1:5

"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,

before you were born I set you apart;

I appointed you as a prophet to the nations."

So a God who is all powerful, that can toss mountains into the sea and spoke our very world into existence can and does know each and every one of us. He knows our faults, our weakness, our desires, our talents. He knows where we fail daily or where we have failed in the past. It is crazy to me, because we can quickly lie to ourselves and say that maybe we failed to much for God to love us, or that we are not worthy of His love so why bother.. But the second you open your heart, He is quick to remove the stain from our lives. To forgive us and out of all that to Love us with an unconditional love.

The more that I learn about a life with Jesus, the more I see how this Love has the ability to change the world. You see this love is different than anything this world knows. It is a completely selfless love.. It is humble and meek and it doesn't have an agenda. It is a love without conditions. It is a love that breaks long built up walls, that restores broken hearts, that repairs the damage that sin has in our lives.. That frees from Pornography or Drug and Alcohol addiction. This Love that they Bible and its many writers talk about covers ALL.. I will say it again. God's Love covers ALL!!! It makes me cry when I think of that.

Well I need to get to church.. I am so stoked to worship with mi familia today. Because knowing all of this, what else is there to do? Colt's football doesn't hold a candle to Jesus, and I have been given the right to praise him. Not only do I get to sing and worship our sovereign creator.. but he is in me and with me.

So Lord, today for whoever is reading this, remind them that you Love them. Father I pray that we would give up of ourselves, that we would commit our lives to your will, and as we find this Love that we would give this love to others lord. Thank you for Hope!!
