too big? too small?

Hey, guys. I feel like I am supposed to tell you about something I have touched on here recently. So often people get a set notion on what they think God is. They think all kinds of things, and most of the time they are wrong. I think if everyone had the right idea about God, this world would be very different. If people knew who God really was, it would take all of the mystery and intimacy out of the relationship. People don’t see it as a relationship at all. I know I didn’t. I had no idea who God really was or is for that matter. I still don’t know, but I am glad. I am going to borrow a phrase from a good friend of mine and say that I don’t want to be able to explain my relationship with God or explain how he has changed me because if I could it would take away from the mystery. I love not knowing what is going to happen next. He is building and shaping me into the man that he wants me to be, and I am just along for the ride.

People think God is too big or too small for their problems. They say God can’t get them that promotion at work because it isn’t a big enough need to Him. They say that God can’t cure me of cancer because cancer is just too big for God. Well I am telling you that He is not. God is infinite. His love is bigger than anything we can ever imagine. He wants the best for you. He wants you to be able to trust Him with anything. He wants you to lay everything at his feet. No matter how big or small you may think it is. God is truly a father who wants to have an encounter with you. So often we say that we want to have a special moment and learn more about God, but even though he already knows it I think that God wants to get to know this person that he is in love with. For those of you dealing with depression, He wants to know what it is that stresses you out and he wants to take those problems away. He wants to help because He loves you. He doesn’t ask for anything in return. You don’t have to do anything to earn His love because He offers it to you for free. I can’t fathom that. I cant wrap my head around the fact that a person who created the heavens and the stars, the sun and the moon, the beauty of the forest or the smell right after a rain can still find time to love me. I don’t understand and I never will. That is why it is so amazing. I thank everyone who reads this and I want you to know that not only do I hope it is a blessing to you, but that it is also a blessing to me to get these thoughts out.

God I thank you. I thank you for every heart after yours. I thank you for every person that reads this. I hope that it touches at least one person. I pray that you continue to use me however you want. Bless those that read this and those that don’t.

“Nothing is impossible for you, nothing is impossible. Nothing is impossible for you, you hold my world in you hands!”

I pray that you realize that no matter what you do, no matter how big or small you situation is, God always holds you in his hands.
