amazed

It’s the most amazing story ever told.
And even more amazing – It’s true.
An amazing God that flung stars to the outer regions of infinity
An amazing God that separated the dry land from the sea.
This great God that created a cell as intricate and dynamic as a tiny city
A God that created Jupiter and the Milky Way would choose to create me.
our skin and the inner workings of the human body-
the blood and bones, the pelvis, the pinky, the cranium and the clavicle, the liver that filters our blood, the million miles of DNA, all of this…
God left his amazing mark on us.
And it astounds me.
It amazes me.
That’s amazing to me.
And more amazing still... His Son
I’m amazed that he would be born in a stable.
Not in a palace
Not in the lap of luxury
Instead he was born squalor on animals and shepherds
I’m amazed that he was scorned as an illegitimate son when he could of levitated above them all I’m amazed that he remained silent.
I am amazed that Jesus would choose for friends and followers
Tax collectors, fishermen, drunkards, and outcasts.
Even more, I’m amazed that he would stay to the very end pay the price for the messes we make- all the messes.
And everywhere he went people were amazed.
The amazing thing about grace is that when I was in the far country
He sought ME!
When I lost hope in God
He never lost hope in me.
It's His all-surpassing love that drives me...
I can’t get over!
It takes my breath away when I think that God his Son not sparing
Sorrow and blood flowed down
He saved a sinner like me.
I’ll never get over the astounding truth that Jesus Christ God’s only son loves me.
He wants me!
And He will stop at nothing to rescue me.
It’s the story of surprise that makes every day an adventure.
Amazing that a God so great would love me this much.
I’m amazed that you would love me with relentless grace
Far beyond all time and space
Relentless stubborn mercy blind
To all that I have left.
You loved me in the blinding rain
Even when I’ve caused You pain.
Amazed by the chasm that separated me from You
All the pain that He went through.
And when you get a glimpse of this love it will grab on to you,
It will own you in its bliss.
And the amazing thing about this grace is that it is what it is.
It’s not earned.
It’s grace.
Amazing grace.
It’s grace that tore me away from the claws of Satan
It’s grace that will lead me home.
It’s grace that is greater than all my sin.
His love- it means we win!
Love wins over everything.
Over hell, death, addiction, fear, evil, cancer, wrath
God is love and God wins.
It’s truth.
He is truth.
He’s as right as rain.
In fact he created rain.
And if you take it into your life.
It will change your perspective
You’ll look at your children differently.
You'll eat good food and love it even more.
You’ll lose that chip on your shoulder that’s been dogging you for years.
You’ll breath easier.
No more fear of death, hell and the grave- because life is an everlasting adventure more eternal that far flung galaxies of deep space.
If you take it in it will change everything.
It will scatter every self-saving instinct you’ve ever known.
Indeed. It’s amazing. I am amazed…
