Just a Thought

I love the Lord, because He has heard
My voice and my supplications.
Because He has inclined His ear to me,
Therefore I will call upon Him as long as I live.

Psalm 116: 1-2

God is so awesome, you guys. We don't even know the half of it. Just the fact that He chose to love us waaaaaay before we would, or even COULD, do anything even in return for Him. And even with all the crap we do anyways, He still loves us and cares about the most insignificant things happening to us. A lot of times I feel like asking God for help in finishing, say, something to do with comic is silly. I mean, God keeps the universe in order, for starters, and there are so many "bigger" things in my life and other people's, why would He care? Doesn't He have enough to think about as it is?

Haha, what a stupid thing to think about an all-knowing, all-present, all-powerful, all-loving God. Nowhere in the Bible does it say that He doesn't care about the little things. And if you think about it, you feel closest to people when they tell you about the little things, don't you? Don't you think God wants to know about those too? He wants to have a close relationship with us- that includes the little things.

That just goes to show how stupid we are as humans- who wouldn't want an intimate relationship with the One Who created and controls everything in existence? Yet if I'm far away from God, it's not His fault. He's always right there, ready to take me back as soon as I realize I'm wrong and repent. Because He's so awesome. I mean, He sent His only Son to die in our place because He loves us so much, and all we have to do to get eternal life with God is to believe the truth. To believe and acknowledge that without God we're nothing, that we can't do anything right. It's our fault the world is so messed up, you know- if we hadn't turned from God's way of doing things, things would be perfect, and we fully deserve to die and go to Hell for turning from Him. I mean, He is giving us the choice to live in perfection with Him, but we choose to do things our own way and go to Hell? Where's the point in that? A lifetime of pleasure in turn for eternal damnation? We need God, and the truly amazing thing is that He provided us such a simple way to Him. Jesus Christ- part of the Trinity, fully God and fully man- died for us, satisfying the penalty of our faults with His perfect sacrifice. And because Christ is God and has power over all things, He resurrected Himself. Like I said, all God requires is that we believe that happened- that it's truth, and it IS the truth- and He will give us more than we can imagine in return. How awesome is that? It's really, really awesome.

For You have delivered my soul from death,
My eyes from tears,
And my feet from falling.
I will walk before the Lord
In the land of the living.

116: 8-9
