Seeing the Awesomeness of God

It's a beautiful thing when God takes us out of our apathy into the light where we can see his love and his beauty. This is what he's done for me. For the first time in a while I can honestly say "I love God!" He is so good and so faithful. It's awesome how he works everything together for good. No, I'm not saying my life is all good. It's stressful and confusing and hard. But he gives so many blessings and helps me get through it and enjoy it. He's satisfies. He makes life fulfilling. Today he has made me happy, not because of any specific thing he's done, but because he helped me see how awesome he is.
Hallelujah! Praise the LORD! Stand in awe of him. Think about the depth of his love. Remember his power and holiness and the beauty of creation. Consider the amazing truth that he is mindful of mankind though we are like grass compared to him- here today and gone tomorrow. He knows your thoughts and works every detail of your life out for the good of those who love him. He pursues you.

"My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for the Mighty One has done great things for me— holy is his name. ”- Luke 1:46-47, 49
