God - You flat-out amaze me!

I found this photo (minus a wee-bit of editing) while scanning through some photos looking for one of ribbon (don't ask me WHY a dog came up while I was searching for ribbon...). I took one look at it and just KNEW that it was going to be in my next blog post (which is long overdue I might add...which you already knew, of course)! It's a rather self-explanatory photo which almost perfectly depicts how I so often feel when I ponder the awesomeness of God. One of the BEST ways to be reminded of how awesome God is, and how MUCH he loves us is to read the Greatest Love Letter of All - the Bible. So often I think we can overlook the importance of God's very words! Imagine getting a letter from your "true love" on this earth (if you don't yet have one...humor me and imagine along). It is handwritten and expresses their deepest feelings for you. The words drip with emotion and you are the center of their affections. Suppose this person, whom you also loved very dearly, gave up his (her) life to save you. You would never see them again (in this life), but you would always have that letter to read, and re-read...again and AGAIN. How many times do you think you would read it? You'd probably read it so often that you would have it memorized shortly. Why is it then that our Bibles can so often collect dust in a corner of our bookshelves? How is it that we can go through our day thinking that other things are more important than reading the words of our LORD and SAVIOR...who has saved us from MUCH more than any human ever could?! Psalm 56:13 For you have delivered my soul from death, yes, my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of life. He has loved us with an everlasting love! He has redeemed our souls from The Pit! How GREAT is our God!!! Psalm 36:5 Your steadfast love, O Lord, extends to the heavens, your faithfulness to the clouds. Psalm 42:8 By day the Lord commands his steadfast love, and at night his song is with me, a prayer to the God of my life. So, when was the last time you savored the VERY WORDS of your lover? What are you waiting for? ~Lady Tai
