Amazing......

How amazing is God??? I have never been able to imagine just how great, how big, how amazing God is........He is just too awesome to comprehend.........always faithful, always loving, always there.

And sometimes He takes you completely by surprise..........yesterday morning while I was spending some time with God, I got just a glimpse of how huge His love for me is..........I had been thanking God for the massive gift He gave me - His son Jesus dying on the cross for me - and knew I would never really fathom just how big that was, when God showed me kneeling at the foot of the cross. I had my head bowed when I heard "Look"..........I lifted my head and looked up towards Jesus on the cross and I was completely overwhelmed.........I had expected to look up and see Jesus, I thought I had an idea how big the cross would be and that Jesus, would be a regular guy size on the cross...........was I wrong??? As I looked up what I saw was an immensely huge cross, it stretched so far up into the sky and stretched so wide that I couldn't see the top or the edges of it..........it took my breath away - it was HUGE!!!!! And on the cross was Jesus, he was huge too, this great man, so big in all things...........love, forgiveness, grace, gentleness, kindness............so big and great and yet, he laid down his life for me - little old me............

Like I said, it was only a glimpse, I don't think I have the comprehension to deal with anymore than a glimpse, but a glimpse that was so powerful that all I could think was 'How can I not honour and serve Him all my life???'

I love it when god chooses to reveal things to me...........they usually leave me overwhelmed and weeping, but I wouldn't miss them for anything.
