"And by the grace of God we will carry on"
I heard this at church today. It was the first time I heard this in a long time (and I mean A LONG time). I often don't think about how much I need God until I sit back and think about my relationship with Him. I know God is powerful, He can be wrathful, He created everything and still guides people, He is the ultimate justice... but He is also a loving and caring God. I screw up a lot, I have screwed up recently, in fact I even screwed up today and its only a little past noon, but God still loves me as much as He did when I woke up, when I was born, when Jesus died on the cross and He will still love me tomorrow, when (if?) I get married, when I retire, when I die... His love endures forever.
If I asked myself, "How much do I love God?" I would say He means more to me than anything in our physical realm. If I asked myself, "How do you show that you love Him this much?" I stop and think... "Well... I kind of don't show it. I show that I love Him to some and to others I show that He is just another thing in my crazy life."
I know God's love for me will go forever. And my love for Him will be the same way, I can never stop loving Him, He has done so much for me, but I need to start acting more on that love. He sent His son to die for me and in return I thank Him, but I don't think I do enough. I am very busy but am I too busy for the one true God above all others, who reigns supreme over everything and wants nothing more than for me to try a little harder?
My eyes are a little more open today. Sorry God for putting my cross down when things got hard. I'll pick it back up and keep following your Son through the trials and hardships that I will inevitably face.
The last thing I wrote as a note from the service today was, "Stay faithful! God will take care of me! Those little thoughts in the back of my head might be Him trying to tell me something." Maybe I should listen to myself on this one and really try to pay attention to that.
