Fresh Revelations of God's Love...

One thing that really hit home over the w/e was God's love. It was a constant theme in each worship session and in my quiet times I was constantly reminded about.

On the last day our last worship session was filled with a real sense of the holy spirit and the room flooded with a true sense of joy at God's love. The only thing I could keep saying and realising is how ridiculous God's love is.

It is the most ridiculous and absurd love this world will ever know.

We're so unworthy and yet this amazing God who is all powerful and incredible, loves us!? Go figure. I can't comprehend, and nor do I think any of us can. Reading Isaiah this morning-we were cut off from God because of our sin

"The Lord is not too weak to save you, and he is not becoming deaf. He can hear you when you call. But there is a problem - your sins have cut you off from God." Isaiah 59:1-2

So what does He do? He sends Jesus to solve that problem. Hang on? If I were in that position, being a selfish human and all, I'd just destroy the whole race-Problem Solved. But no, this amazing, compassionate, loving God sent His only son, to die the most horrendous death. Not just because it was a gruesome crucifixion, but because He bore all the pain and suffering of our sins, every impure thought, every murder, every disgusting sin was impressed onto His fragile body, until His Father could no longer even look at Him. He felt more alone than anyone will ever feel and that's to save me? Personally, I don't think I'm worth that. I'd like to see anyone try and justify that they were.

How ridiculous is that?!

A great BIG, perfect God loves me! What have I ever done for Him? Or what will I ever do that will warrant this kind of love!?

This love is so amazing, I want to be constantly reminded of it, constantly impressed by it, taken aback and have it firmly stamped on my heart. I want there to be continual moments in my day where I just have to stop 'cos I'm hit by this incredible love. Daily fresh revelations of God's love is what I'm praying for.

Quit day dreaming and start being awestruck by this incredible love that God has for you.
