Ways I Find God's Love Amazing

Sometimes the most encouraging words from God aren't words at all. Sometimes they can be the kind gesture of a friend, a simple phrase in a song that reminds you of His love, a way a child smiles at her mother, or the calming breeze flowing through the trees and directly over your body as you walk in prayer down the sidewalk.

There is no end to the limit to which He speaks to His beloved children. Each one of us were created with the fear of God in our hearts. And we were molded with His compassionate hands, in His own image.

Every human is sacred. Each person is divine. Whether or not we have agreed with Him and have allowed his great hand to repair the brokenness that sits and swells within us...no matter what our will says to His existence and place within our lives...

every man and woman is a created by that same love and majesty that set the world on its axis. And regardless if we have accepted Christ as our savior, we cannot deny the world and it's beauty. And we cannot look against the greatness of love. And our need to connect with something greater than the things that get shoved in our faces.

We were created to entertain ourselves with the eternal. And the hounds of heaven come crashing against the darkness. Even in our sleep. To fight and wage war for our souls.

There is a place that yearns deeply within each of us. And it is only a matter of time before we must confront it face to face. And decide...what to do with all that we have built. And all we have hidden from view. And what to do with all this pain.

He is real as the glass of water on my coffee table. And he refreshes the soul like a blanket on a cold night. And the kindest word that has ever been spoken to anyone.

He is the love that defines the quality of life worth living. Even when the pain comes like a sufficating whirlwind. Even when we think there's nothing left we can give to this cruel world. His presence fills the holes that the world pokes in us.

And a million lifetimes of pain are worth one peaceful moment with the Father. There simply is no comparison.

Zep 3:17 (NIV) The LORD your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing."
