A little thought that burst into my brain the other day was that God is amazing. Okay, so that’s not a little thought. That’s a pretty damn big thought. One that I can’t even BEGIN to wrap my mind around.

 Why does He forgive us when we screw up by allowing things to come between us and Him? (Which -by the way- is my personal definition of sin) It is absolutely absurd that God forgive me when I choose other things over Him. In it’s all selfish too. Anything and everything that I allow into my life that I KNOW doesn’t glorify Him is just plain selfish. And like I said, it’s absurd that He forgive me and yet, He still does. Every time.

And I can either give in and accept the idea that I’ll never change with or without His help or I can believe the fact that He can change me. And I know that He wants to do that by me digging into His Word without abandon. And I’m not doing that. So what right do I have to complain that He isn’t helping me?

 Uh…. none.

 God does beautiful things through us finite creatures. He makes us into something more than we ever were. Which was pretty much nothing.

Thanks God!
