Crazy Love

Ben and I have been reading the book "Crazy Love."  Thanks auntie Pam!   We've just started but it has really got us thinking.  It talks about how small we are in comparison to God and his universe.  It has really reminded us that he created us and this world so perfectly.  He thought of everything!  Being just the right distance from the sun so that we don't go up in a ball of flames, the plants producing oxygen for us to breath, the earth spinning at just the right speed so that we don't go flying in to space, the fact that our bodies just function without us having to think about it!  It's amazing if you think about all the things that have to be just right in order for us to survive and exist.  God is amazing!  He really has thought of everything! 

You might be thinking, "DUH!" he's GOD.  But we often forget these things.  I know I do.  He has a perfect plan for us and I am constantly reminded of that and thankful for that.  He knew my name before I was born, he knows how many hairs are on my head.  If all this is true, then why do I have such a hard time trusting him sometimes?  Well, I'm working on it....and I'm thankful for his grace and love for me.  

The book also talks about God sending Jesus...his only son to die for us!  I don't know about you, but I don't think I couldn't send my child to die for someone.  Imagine watching your child nailed to a cross....suffering, so that the rest of humanity could have eternal life!  NO WAY!  You'd be on your own if I were GOD!  Luckily I'm not, and thankfully Jesus did die on the cross for us....so that we could have eternal life!  All we have to do is choose to follow him, and serve him!  Count me in....Thanks God!  

Ok, I'll end the sunday school lesson!  I was just really reminded of God's grace and love last night while we were reading.  I'm so thankful that he has chosen to love me....in spite of all my gross sin!
