Another Great Sunday

Hallelujah!  Our GOD Reigns!!!!  And He reigns in an awesome way!  There is nothing more exhilarating or satisfying then to be in the very presence of the Lord!  I love, love, love to watch Him do His thing - unfolding His plan for the day, moment by moment, tying it all together seamlessly with the help of His people.

Then, not only revealing His plan for the day but helping me see how He's been at work all along.  It's extremely humbling when God uses you, and you realize He's using you.  It's extremely humbling when He begins to connect the dots, and you know that He's had you on His mind the entire time.  It's extremely humbling when despite all my faults and shortcomings, God still chooses me.

See, I have done nothing to deserve His love, His blessings, His favor, or His thoughts, but He still gives them to me.  I will never be able to do anything that earns me His notice, His attention, or His time.  Yet, He willingly gives them because it's Who He is!  His heart is so desirous of me and my love, He removes everything that hinders our relationship and moves towards me with compassion and passion.  He wants nothing to stand between Him and me!

Thank you, JESUS!  Thank you for being the Way!  Thank you for taking the pain!  Thank you for suffering the shame!  Thank you for defeating death!  Thank you for the Holy Spirit!  Thank you for your promise of return!  Thank you for never leaving me nor forsaking me!  Thank you for closing doors!  Thank you for opening doors!  Thank you for loving me even in my weakness!  Thank you for taking me to new levels!  Thank you for protecting me!  Thank you for keeping me!  Thank you for my future!  Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!!
