Yes!!!

I did it! I was able to show the love of Christ to someone this weekend! God gave me the grace and the courage to be brave. I was freaking out. But somehow, when the time came, I felt peace. I was in complete submission to God. I may never know how it affected that person until heaven, but I am content with that.

And yes, I got completely shut down and rejected, but rather than pouting, I turned it over to God! Praise be to HIM!

If you can't tell, I am pretty excited about this. Looking at it, you may think that I really didn't do anything that great. But I have been struggling with this so much that this small part is a huge step for me.

I am overwhelmed with the fact that I, an absolute mess, can glorify God. Am I being confusing? I am so mystified that God allows us to praise and glorify Him. It astounds me. A person like me? Worshipping the Creator of the universe who makes beauty from brokenness? Who makes everything out of nothing? Who hears us when we call? Who knows everything, yet is still patient and loving in His teaching? Who mends hearts and lives? Who saves souls?

I could write for pages and pages and still never capture the greatness of God. In fact, looking at what I have written, I see that I have not done so much as scratched the surface. And that's just of what I know of God (I am not claiming to be an expert by all means).

Now, if you are reading this and are not a Christian, this probably looks like lunacy. It's hard for me to explain how I view the entire world differently because Christ saved me. All I can say is He is great. He saves. And He loves you.

Jesus to Calvary did go.
His love for sinners to show.
What He did there,
Brought hope from despair.
Oh, how He loves you!
Oh, how He loves me!
Oh, how He loves you and me.
