That Same God....

A couple days ago I was laying in bed trying to fall asleep just randomly thinking of random things. And for some reason, the thought of Jesus dying on the cross came into my mind. But instead of saying, "Yes, God is good...praise the Lord" and moving on to another thought, I honestly thought about it until I fell asleep. And this is what came to mind...

Too many times I think we go to church, listen to the sermon, ponder on how good God is, thank Him for dying on the cross, and go home. I don't know if you do that, but I'll sorrowfully admit that I do at times, too many times. It's sad but I really do think it becomes a routine, a mere habit, that we'll go to church and just full fill our weekly duties at church, and just, go home. But you know, maybe we need to slow down, take ourselves out of the routine, and think about TRULY how great God is.

That same God....who gave the wolf its glorious dignity and its glassy eyes that seem to stare straight through you....made YOU...

That same God...who made the eagle to sore above the clouds....that gave it the air that floats beneath it's wings....made YOU...

That same God....who made the cheetah to run at speeds still unfathomable to man....made YOU...

He thought of you...above ALL else....above Himself....He thought of you....and He didn't just merely think of you....He came down to this earth to save you....because He LOVED you...He loves you...so much....so much that He died for you so that you might be with Him FOREVER in eternity...He DIED for you....HE DIED....to me that is just....so....impossible to picture...that someone would die..on a cross!..for me? But yes....He did...He felt so much pain...for ME....He thinks of us every minute...every second....praying that we will accept Him into our lives so that we can go and live with Him....because He also loved us so much that He gave us the CHOICE to choose if we would be with Him....He won't force us....He plees....but He never forces....there could never be a greater love...ever....

I can tell you right now...I'm not going to ever just go to church again and allow it to be a habit...We have a God that has done the un imaginable for us....and He deserves our all....He deserves our lives....our love....EVERYTHING we have....I pray that we will all never let our lives with God just be a habit or routine.....because that same God who made the sparrow...and sees each one that falls....cares for you more than anything....in the universe........

Happy Sabbath everyone....blessings to all....may you all seek and grow closer to Him each day....and I hope we can all meet at our New Home together...someday very soon....just around the corner :)
