AMAZED BY YOU!!

Here's what's been going on with me...in my heart...and in my soul.  


I let people consume me.  It's a bad habit and it's something that God is trying to break me from.  I was reminded yesterday that God wants me to be consumed with Him.  I'm trying to satisfy myself with everything but the ONE who can truly satisfy me.  I mean...I know this.  I know that He should be my satisfaction.  I know that He should be the One I run to.  I know that if my dad isn't there for me the way I want him to be that my Lord will be my Daddy.  What I'm missing in my life and in my relationships...He can fill that void.  My Jesus will never leave me.  He walks with me every day.  He's always there and His love is unconditional.  He is my Father, my Daddy, my Savior, my Healer, He is the King of Kings, and the Lord of Lords, the Alpha and Omega, Beginning and the End!!  My God is HUGE!  :o)  He loves us enough to place us on this path.  This perfect path that HE created for us!  How amazing is that?!  He loves us enough to place the people in our lives that we need...ones that will teach us and help us grow into the people that HE created us to be.  I'm amazed by His love.  NO ONE will ever love us more than Him.  I know and believe all of these things...yet I choose to put others before Him.  I make decisions that I know I shouldn't.  I turn to others instead of Him.  I'm just now getting back into the routine of talking with my Lord everyday.  I find it comforting...and so peaceful.  I love talking to Him.  It makes my heart and soul happy...NO...joyous!  :D  I can call on Him anytime.  He is always there.  He listens to every word.  He knows my heart.  He knows my every thought and action and He chooses to love me anyway.  I think that's so AMAZING!  I don't deserve it.  None of us do...but we have it available.  The One who formed the heavens and the earth...who created you and me and knew us before we were formed...HE IS AVAILABLE TO US!!  He wants us!  He created us to love Him...to glorify His name.  A friend once told me this:  "God knew what I would do and the decisions I would make before I was ever born and He still chose to create me."  That statement really made me think.  He knew.  He knew that I would be this sinner...saved by grace.  He knew that I would mess up...EVERY SINGLE DAY.  He knew that I would put others before Him.  He knew that I would make wrong decisions from time to time.  He knows what I'll do in the future.  He knows all of that and He still wanted me.  He wants me!  HE DIED FOR ME!!!!!  Will anyone really ever love us like that?  With that type of passion?  With that type of committment?  NO WAY!  It isn't possible.  Man's love is conditional for the most part.  That's just the way it is.  God's love is completely different.  We're so underserving but He loves us anyways.  It just amazes me.  For real.
