I was just hit with something.
No, not in the literal sense..:)
but all the same, something in my head just clicked.
God loves us and yes that is something that is very evident to us believers, but is it really? Do we at all times believe that He really loves us and if so then what about those really bad days when we feel like the dirt under the dirt under the dirt under the….(you get the point), but God loves us.
I couldn't get past this thought. I don't know why.
The thought is that no matter what we think about ourselves and how many mistakes we make God loves us so much that we cannot even comprehend it, it is no possible to put into words how much we mean to Him. Seriously. There aren't words. They don't exist. How friggin' crazy is that!?
God created us in HIS IMAGE, so we are like God. Our beat and feel how God feels. The way we think and do things is somehow connected to him and his essence of who he is. We are His voice to the world, to tell who God is, what God is like and what God cares about. This thought is just so overwhelming to me.
Love that can't be describe because the words don't exist, they can't exist but the Love is too big! It's beyond us and our logical understanding of Love. I dont even know how to end this post but Im so overwhelmed with this Love that is beyond my understanding. God knows what we are thinking, before we think it. What we say before we even think about saying it. How many hairs that are on our heads, and man….that is just overwhelming.
All I can say to end this post is…..
Thank You God for seeing more in us than we could ever begin to see in ourselves. Thank you God.
God Loves us. That's it.

Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus,  "To all the saints in Christ Jesus at Philippi, together with the overseers^[a] and deacons."
Philippians 1:1
I mean let's be honest when you look at yourself or even people in the community of faith do you think saints? So, this begs the question do we really know what we are capable of? or who we are?
In God's eyes we are a lot of things that we dont see that we are, but God sees us as those things. Saints is just one of the many things that God wants to do with our lives. He sees us as his children whom he loves so much that he would die for us, and he believes in us as the people that help bring the kingdom of God to earth, i mean that's the point isnt it. To make life better.
God is so beyond our own "rational understanding." I mean he is three in one, that just doesnt make sense, and neither does calling us saints.
No one ever said that being a child of God would make sense all the time. A lot of the time its not going to make sense because God is so beyond us, but its the truth. Even though at times it doesnt make a lick of sense.
God made us His voice, and asked us to be faithful and loving in response to His gracious gift of love and faithfulness in us.
God believes in His voice.

So, here in the last couple of weeks I have been hit with a thought that is disturbing at the same very humbling. As I follow Jesus through my life and learn of his teachings, I find myself confused with a paradoxical and unreasonable being that is God. Now, that statement in and of itself may confuse you, but just think about it for a minute. How reasonable is our faith? It's not a reasonable notion, but somehow in the inner core of being of who we are tells us that its a part of us. Take the word faith. It means to believe in things that you cannot see or touch, which is not a reasonable thought.
Even in the scriptures it says that people saw Jesus and still didnt believe….and today I believe in Jesus but I cant see him. Or can I?
Seeing the confusion yet?
Im learning that not understanding everything is an ok notion to have. There are some things that we will never understand about God, creation, Jesus, and etc. But God tells us that the only thing that matters really is Love your neighbor as yourself and Love the Lord your God with your heart, mind, and soul. So, really its all about love. Who knew the Beatles were theologians when they sang, "All you need is Love?"
At the inner core of every human being is God. You are made in God's image which means that if God is Love then you are Love. The Greatest Commandment of loving your neighbor and loving God is just God saying be yourself, be who I created you to be. Be Love.
That is a humbling and awesome feeling. Be Love. So its ok to be follow while your confused, just be love.

Have you ever been just living your life just normal and then out of nowhere God just surprises you with….umm…EVERYTHING!?
Just recently I have been helping out a lot at my church with the Student Ministries program, Junior High-College age and God has really spoken to my heart throughout. I have always believed in God but I am approaching a new development in my faith.
God believes in me.
Yes I know that sounds like a duh statement, but seriously think about that. God believes in me? Are you friggin kidding me?
The creator of the friggin universe believes in me and has a plan for my life, and it surpasses any miniscule plan that i have for my life.
This new development completely boggles my mind and im still floored by it.
Praise God for his blessings of grace that is given to us freely. I feel so useless sometimes when it comes to witnessing and be a christian, but i think that's the point we see ourselves as who we think we are.
We dont realize that there is a part of us that is extraordinary!
What does it mean to be created in God's image?
My Cup Overflows with the blessings that God has revealed to me. I dont even know where to begin to understand why God has spoken to me like this lately, but there is one thing that I know. I cant get enough of Him!
Im at worship and a desperate part of my heart cries out for the worship to continue! I dont want it to stop! I want to scream and shout because I have tasted and seen that the Lord is good and I want more and more and more!
Praise God!
