It's funny to think God knows what we will do, He watches us, He knows what we are going to do. That amazes me.
Someone
1. Knows me so well that they see what I'm going to do.
2. They want to be in my life so bad they will wait along side me.
3. Someone loves me so much that they would be pushed to the side, ignored, rejected, yet He still loves me.
I don't know about you but that is powerful. It moves me to tears. To think a person who created me, loves us so much He had someone die for us and yet even still we reject that and He still loves us.
Grace is a word I've been recognizing a lot of in the last few months.
It is something given without need of return. It is something that is given freely without requirements, money bases, personality, it is for all of us.
I can say you can't see a lot of that happening now, there are so many guidelines, things you have to meet. But we are truly blessed, we have a God that loves everybody in this world and doesn't list up requirements, He welcomes all and changes them into someone much better once they make a choice to know Him.
Ah, that makes me shiver. The fact that I am chosen, I am loved, being a child lost and seeing God break the circumstances because someone like me, and you, in the midst of family problems, divorces, issues, morals, pain, jealousy, all of that somehow God has called me out of it and given me this new life of hope, joy, peace, and prosperity in His name.
I will not forget Your promises God. He calls us His own. He brings us out of all of the things this world has, He changes us into a new human being, with a purpose, with a love no one can go against. If our God is for us, then who can stand against us. It is true.
It is scary to think my best friend, the one I call upon in whatever circumstance, He is watching me and He knows what I am about to do, cry, smile, have a thought, go off into a dark place, He knows. It is so awesome all at once because someone cares so much for me that they keep an eye on me, they know my heart, they long to give me the desires of my heart.
I want to encourage you all to ponder that there is a God next to you waiting for you to call His name. He has been waiting to love you because He is our father, He created you, He longs to be with you. He wants to make you into something beautiful. Deep down you all have this desire for something more than this earth has to offer. Grab a bible, biblegateway.com, dig in. God's word is a direct tool for anyone who even wants to know who God is. Another thing is plug into a church, the body of Christ is so important, and it's God's gift to us. We need Him as well as others who are pursuing this holy relationship that doesn't exist besides Him.
One thing I am learning is that stuff, what I have here is not what matters, what matters is my treasure is in heaven, eternity with God, what really matters then, loving God, loving people, helping others, and not being so consumed by the little things that haunt us. If we were to take our eyes off of that for awhile, maybe we can volunteer, grab coffee with someone new, pay for someone's lunch, help the homeless, there are so many things we can be doing instead of fulfilling ourselves.
God is for us, He loves us, He desires, longs to be with us. Even if it's a date with God, go somewhere with Him. Sing to Him, show Him love by doing something for others. Be silent, listen. He can see you, meet you, wherever you are at, whether its at a high point or a low point. His grace covers whatever you have done, you don't even have to work for it, just talk to God. He's there. He's real. I wouldn't be at this point in my life without Him. He speaks to me, I feel Him move. He moves me where I need to go.
God knows you, He knit you together in your mother's womb. He longs for you, He knows what you are doing at this very moment. I don't know about you but that gives me the shivers, I feel as if I am always with someone, He knows me much better than my own parents, my friends, everyone. I don't need people to validate who I am, I don't need a text message to feel important, I don't need a boyfriend to feel needed, my God is who I need, the most important.
I am so blessed by God's love and grace that pour over me. He knows how messy I am with relationships, and maybe even saying things I don't mean, but He still loves me anyways, I don't know about you but that is one special friend I have.
I love my God so much :)
