I seem to write, or have things to write about when I struggle the most. Sometimes I don't even have anything to write about, but I just start and go and see where it ends up. Well a lot has been going on in my life and sometimes through all of it, I get too caught up in it to stop and pray, and seek help. I started reading a book called Crazy Love by Francis Chan. I'll probably write another post about the book as a whole later, but theres one thing I want to share. First just watch this video.http://www.crazylovebook.com/videos_awe.html Isn't that amazing. Now I think about that, how big, how magnificent God is to create all of that. Then I think of all the things in my life that are hard. And before I think about how big God is, I think of how my problems seem so hard and I don't know how I'll ever get through. But after I think about how big God is, those things don't seem so bad. To know that God, who created all of that, loves me and cares about my life. He can handle my struggles. There's nothing too big or too small for Him to handle. Praise God, what a wonderful Heavenly Father. Just watching that video, makes me feel so small, and God cares about my every need. So much so that He sent his one and ONLY son to die in my place. Can you imagine? Can you imagine the person you love the most beaten, and nailed to a cross for your enemies. That's what we were, enemies of God. We violated His commands and were headed straight for Hell. But God didn't want to punish us, because He loves us so much. Ephesians 2:3-5 says, "Among them we too all formerly lived in the lusts of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest. But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ by grace you have been saved." We were saved by grace, because of His great love for us. I can never get tired of hearing that. It's the most amazing thing in the world. That's why we should share with others. You were offered the greatest gift anyone could ever possibly give, and it's offered to others. They may not know it, and you may be the only person who has a chance to tell them. Reflect on His love. Think of the sacrifice that was made for you. Rejoice, give thanks. And pursue His mission of sharing His love. That's the point of this post...just think about what Christ did for you, and think about how that affects your life and how you live it. May it cause you to worship.
